Keke Palmer Reveals Racism and Tension on 'Scream Queens' Set in New Memoir
  • Keke Palmer, 31, recently discussed her experiences on the set of 'Scream Queens' in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, published on November 10, 2024.

  • The show, which aired from 2015 to 2016, was a slasher comedy series about a serial killer targeting sorority members at Wallace University, featuring a notable cast including Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts.

  • In her upcoming memoir, "Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative," Palmer alleges that a co-star made a racist remark toward her while she attempted to mediate a conflict.

  • Palmer chose not to reveal the identity of the co-star, referred to as 'Brenda', to focus on the broader issues rather than the individual incident.

  • Palmer also recounted a tense interaction with Ryan Murphy, who labeled her 'unprofessional' for prioritizing a prior business obligation over reporting to set.

  • Describing the confrontation with Murphy, Palmer likened it to a meeting in the dean's office, expressing disappointment given her aspirations to collaborate with him more frequently.

  • She felt that Murphy's reaction to the incident may have jeopardized her opportunities to work with him, as she had initially hoped her role in 'Scream Queens' would lead to more collaborations.

  • Despite apologizing for the situation, Palmer suspects that Murphy may have blacklisted her from future projects, reflecting on the complexities of business relationships in Hollywood.

  • Acknowledging the potential impact on her future collaborations with Murphy, Palmer remains determined not to let the incident deter her.

  • In her memoir, Palmer aims to promote the idea of using one's influence to create better opportunities for future generations in the entertainment industry.

  • Following her revelations, social media buzzed with speculation about which actress made the racist remark, with many users suggesting Lea Michele due to her absence from Palmer's Instagram follows.

  • As of now, Ryan Murphy has not publicly commented on Palmer's allegations, and a representative for him did not respond to requests for comment.
