Jessie Murph sparks outrage over controversial music video depicting domestic violence, pornography
Jessie Murph has fans in an uproar.
The 20-year-old singer, who has been compared to Amy Winehouse, sparked a social media firestorm over the music video to her risqué new song “1965.”
The video, which came out July 18, has been accused of glorifying pornography and domestic violence due to its graphic nature.
Fans are particularly upset over a shocking sex scene that takes place in the middle of the video.
In addition, a woman who appears to be Murph is depicted tied up while face down on a couch in the video.
Fans flooded the comments section of the song’s YouTube upload — which has over 7 million views — to express their displeasure.
“The way my jaw dropped the floor, there’s still time to unrelease this,” one fan wrote.
“The fact it’s been 5days or whatever since the video had been uploaded and youtube still hasn’t blurred that out is crazy work,” a different comment read.
A third person said, “I didnt think it would be this bad. I am forever traumatized this is diabolical.”
“Since when is pornography allowed on youtube?” someone else asked.
More fans slammed Murph for including a child in the video right before the sex scene.
“So so messed up,” a fan said.
“Not only is this song ahh, putting a child before such a explicit scene is crazy,” a different fan noted.
“1965,” which is from Murph’s newly released second studio album “Sex Hysteria,” is filled with raunchy lyrics.
“We’d go to church on a Sunday, wake up on Monday/You’d go to work and I’d stay home and sing and do fun things/I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn’t hit me on Snapchat,” Murph sings.
“I think I’d give up a few rights/If you would just love me like it’s 1965,” she also sings.
An insider told the Daily Mail that Murph’s song and music video sparked outrage in the country music scene, with some comparing her to Kanye West.
“If she continues this and goes completely off the rails like Kanye, then people should have more conversations about the person she is rather than the artist she is,” the insider told the outlet.
The Post has reached out to Murph’s reps for comment.
In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, Murph spoke about the intense reactions her music evokes from fans.
“I’m glad that I make people have some sort of reaction. I’d rather them be like, ‘I hate you,’ or ‘I love you,’ rather than, ‘I feel indifferently,’ I guess,” the Alabama native stated.
“But still, I just find it f—ing weird… I don’t have any hate in my heart… That’s been something that I’ve been trying to figure out how to navigate and not react and get mad because it totally makes me be like, ‘F–k you, b-tch,’” she added.
Days after releasing her new album, Murph’s performance to “1965” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” was similarly bashed by fans online.
“how dare anybody be comparing this to Amy… you should all be ashamed smh,” one fan wrote.
“everything about this feels like an SNL skit. how is this real,” another fan said.
Murph was discovered by uploading vlogs and covers on TikTok and YouTube. She had her breakthrough with her 2021 single “Always Been You,” three years before releasing her debut studio album, “That Ain’t No Man That’s the Devil.”
