Sabrina Carpenter’s too raunchy & setting women’s rights back years, says music moguls Stock, Aitken & Waterman

THE name Stock Aitken Waterman is synonymous with some of the best pop tunes in history, with 13 No1 singles and 40million records sold globally. But now the powerhouse trio of Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman have turned on the modern music business — slamming one of the world’s most promising young superstars.

Sabrina Carpenter — who spent a record 21 weeks at the top of the singles chart last year — has found herself the target of their disdain over her skimpy outfits and flirty lyrics. The hitmakers have even suggested the Espresso singer is setting back the movement for women’s rights.

But they seem to have forgotten that plenty of their acts flashed the flesh to sell more singles . . . In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Matt, 68, said: “Pop music, and particularly pop videos, have become a lot more sexualised than back in the Eighties — overtly so, for better or for worse.”.

Pete, 78, continued: “And that is incredibly strange given that women’s rights are so protected now. “To see Sabrina Carpenter dressed as a little girl is quite offensive. She doesn’t need that. “She’s got great talent and yet the whole of the industry, these girls come out in as little as possible because they know they’re driving young boys to their websites.
