Sabrina Carpenter made a brief appearance in “Orange is the New Black,” one of Netflix’s biggest hits. At the time, the singer was only 12 years old.
Before launching her music career, Sabrina Carpenter acted in several television series, including the Emmy-winning Netflix show “Orange is the New Black” (OITNB).
Fans recently discovered that the “Espresso” singer had a cameo in episode nine of the first season of OITNB, which premiered in 2013.
The series tells the story of Piper Chapman, who is sent to prison for transporting drug money for her ex-girlfriend.
In the scene, a flashback of the character Alex Vause, Chapman’s girlfriend, shows her being bullied in school by Jessica Wedge — played by Sabrina Carpenter.
Wedge mocks Vause’s mother for having four jobs. “That’s nothing to brag about. You dress like a homeless person,” the bully says. The scene went viral on TikTok, surpassing 412,000 views.
“She played a bully so well that I had trouble liking her when her album came out,” one fan commented. “Why was she always cast as the mean girl?” another user asked.
Sabrina Carpenter’s most recent TV appearance was in “A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter,” which premiered on Netflix in 2024. She plays herself in the holiday musical special.
