Dramatic footage emerges of Sabrina Carpenter’s security guards getting ‘aggressive’

Dramatic footage has emerged of singer Sabrina Carpenter’s security detail getting “aggressive” with her fans.

Video footage has emerged showing Sabrina Carpenter’s security guard aggressively pushing fans out of the way, knocking down a photographer in the process.

The entourage had just arrived in London at BBC Radio 1 Studios on Tuesday, and the aggressive barrage unfolded in front of the building, just as Carpenter was trying to make her way inside.

In the viral clip, which has been shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media, the security team appears to shove people around, while yelling for them to stay back.

As he cleared a path for the pop star, the singer’s security guard could be seen laying his hands on a photographer and other people in the crowd as he shoved them hard, effectively removing them.

Another of Carpenter’s team followed close behind holding an umbrella that was opened, seemingly not realising they were knocking the sharp ends of it into those stood to the side as they barged through the crowd.

Fans rushed to social media to comment on the raucous, with many labelling the star’s team unnecessarily aggressive.

“It looks like maybe there were some over aggressive paps and her security was doing there job. unfortunately that poor guy who wasn’t the problem got hit with an umbrella,” commented one.

“The pushing is bad enough, but an umbrella getting open in your face like that is so …” wrote a second, while a third said: “Damn her bodyguard came out the gate swinging, ouch!”

Another tweeted: “WTF was that umbrella guy doing, someone got whacked by the camera!”

The singer also came under fire in the last week after she featured her new boyfriend, Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan, in the music video for her latest single, Please Please Please.

In the clip, Carpenter pleads with her love interest, played by Keoghan, not to “embarrass” her, but some fans reckoned he already had.

Before the Irish actor started dating the pop star, he was dating dental nurse Alyson Sandro, with whom he welcomed his son Brando in 2022.

The couple split in mid-2023 before their son was a year old, and then he moved on with Carpenter later last year.

Ms Sandro is still based in London, and some aren’t thrilled that Keoghan is being so public with his new relationship with Carpenter, travelling around to support her, when he has a child at home.

One fan online called it “cringe” and another said it was “embarrassing” to be dating a man who is so dedicated to a new relationship while his son is still a toddler.
