Chart-topping singer Sabrina Carpenter first found her footing in the acting world, with roles in popular Disney Channel shows.
Now 25, the young artist had branched out early, making a little-known cameo in the Emmy-winning series Orange is the New Black when she was only 12.
In a recent revelation on TikTok, a fan uncovered a scene from season one of the show, showcasing young Carpenter as a bully to main character Alex Vause.
Shook by this finding, they shared a snippet with the world, captioning it: “Doing my annual Orange is the New Black rewatch and I come across young Sabrina Carpenter bullying young Alex Vause.”
Orange is the New Black followed the life of Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling), who gets imprisoned due to her connection with drug smuggler Alex Vause (Laura Prepon). The series garnered critical acclaim with 21 Emmy nominations and four wins under its belt.
Carpenter briefly appeared as Jessica Wedge in the episode named F***sgiving. In this flashback, we see Carpenter’s character mocking Vause’s appearance, with the biting words: “Those are bobos. Real Adidas have three stripes, not four. Your shoes are bobos.”
When Vause manages a meek, “So?” Jessica Wedge doesn’t hold back, delivering another jab: “So your mum shops at Payless and works at Friendly’s,” reports Surrey Live.
Young Vause stands her ground, justifying that her mum “has like four jobs.”
However, the mean girls escalate their taunts, sneering: “That’s not something to brag about. You dress like a bum.”
The sequence ends with Carpenter’s character and her clique derisively chanting: “Bye, pig-sty!”
The pop star’s guest appearance caught fans off guard, with one exclaiming on TikTok: “That’s Sabrina? ? No way!!!!”
Another revealed their surprise: “I’ve only just watched this series and didn’t even clock that’s Sabrina Carpenter.”
And yet another fan confessed: “Omg I never realised this!”
Orange is the New Black is streaming now on Netflix.
