Sabrina Carpenter has emerged as a leading pop icon, yet surprisingly, her appearance in a well-known Netflix series went largely unnoticed.
The artist, who gained fame for her role as Maya Hart in Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World, boasts a diverse portfolio in film and television.
Her credits include appearances in various genres, such as the impactful films The Hate U Give and Tall Girl. Carpenter’s recent 2024 music video for “Taste” showcases not only her musical talent but also features Jenna Ortega amid several cinematic nods.
Given her skyrocketing music career, many fans may overlook her role in a classic Netflix series.
Sabrina Carpenter Played a Bully in Orange is the New Black
Carpenter made a brief but memorable appearance in the first season of the hit series Orange is the New Black, portraying Jessica Wedge, a school bully who harasses a younger version of Alex Vause.
Her role, which may have gone unnoticed due to its limited screen time, involved a flashback sequence where she mocks Alex for her socio-economic background, targeting her shoes and the fact that her mother juggles multiple jobs.
Given that Carpenter was only around 13 or 14 during filming in 2013, her youthful appearance further explains why viewers might not have recognized her in recent re-watches.
Recently, a fan unearthed this cameo and shared the clip on TikTok, expressing disbelief at discovering Carpenter’s early role.
Accompanying the video, the user remarked, “Doing my annual re-watch of Orange is the New Black when I come across young Sabrina Carpenter bullying young Alex Vause. I don’t know why I didn’t remember this, it sent me.”
Fans quickly shared their surprise and confusion, with comments like, “I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t point that out to me,” highlighting the disbelief over Carpenter’s appearance.
Others chimed in humorously, with one saying, “That’s that mean espresso,” referring to her musical persona, and another questioning, “Why did they always have her playing a mean girl?”
Many fans jokingly noted Carpenter’s talent for portraying antagonistic roles, drawing a parallel to her recent portrayal of Cady Heron in the Broadway adaptation of Mean Girls.
For those interested in more on Carpenter, details about her Fortnite skin and noteworthy gaming moments are also making waves, alongside discussions of exciting new television releases slated for streaming this month.
