The View <\/em><\/a>cohost Sunny Hostin<\/a> is actually not<\/em> thinking about Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>‘s me espresso \u2014 and never has, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a small corner of the internet buzzed with blowback to the pop star’s irony-laden Man’s Best Friend<\/em> album cover<\/a> \u2014 which sees her on her knees in front of a man \u2014 the panelists broke down the reaction by lifting the 26-year-old up. That is, except for Hostin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Joy Behar<\/a> revealed that she got married years ago in the same New York City church Carpenter filmed her “Feather” music video<\/a> in, Hostin told the audience she’s unfamiliar with Carpenter in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ll admit, I don’t know who she is, I’ve never heard of her music,” Hostin said. “I don’t know anything about her.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Hostin offered up an opinion on Carpenter’s album cover, which some people felt was the antithesis to the feminist themes in Carpenter’s lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think that imagery is important. And even if her lyrics are strong and she’s a feminist, I just think about young girls seeing that who may not understand,” Hostin observed of Carpenter, who has two Grammys and amassed three top-ten hits \u2014 including the No. 1 smash “Please Please Please”<\/a> \u2014 over the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderator\u00a0Whoopi Goldberg<\/a>\u00a0broke in to tell her colleagues that the controversy reminded her of a scene from\u00a0This Is Spinal Tap<\/em>, which saw a character complaining about a “greased, naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldberg then praised Carpenter, saying, “The girl is doing her thing, God bless her.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the segment ended, Joy Behar also compared Carpenter’s cover to provocative works by Madonna and Bette Midler, though she said the latter “would’ve been pulling his hair” instead of on her knees in front of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would’ve bit him,” Goldberg said. “No, no, if you’re down there, you bite. You want to look like an angry dog.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The View cohost Sunny Hostin is actually not thinking about Sabrina Carpenter‘s me espresso \u2014 and never has, apparently.
