Kate Nash blasts Johansson 'sexism'

Kate Nash has claimed that reviews of Scarlett Johansson's debut album were sexist.

The singer said she was disappointed by the "patronising cynicism" of reviewers who thought Johansson couldn't make a decent record because she is a good-looking woman.

Commenting on a specific review, Nash said: "It does my head in that he [the reviewer] had to bring it down such a sh***y level, cutting her down because he can roll his eyes and pass it off as nonsense because 'she's a pretty little girly girl from Hollywood who thinks she can have a go at dressing up like daddy'.

"Shouldn't we just stick to what we do best girls and smell nice? Sell ourselves short? And shut the f**k up? It's blatant sexism."

She added: "I know if I start talking about this I'm a 'dyke' and 'a man hater' and I'll be 'knocked off that pedestal missy' but these kinds of attitudes should be thought of as prehistoric.

"If you must attack at least attack fairly, don't be so petty. Point is, I hate arrogant sexist patronising t**ts, I'm really more into equality."

Johansson released her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head last month.
