In a shocking revelation, actress Kiki Palmer has accused a fellow cast member from the popular TV series ‘Scream Queens’ of making racist remarks. The incident, detailed in Palmer’s upcoming memoir, ‘Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative,’ set to be released on November 19th, sheds light on a disturbing encounter that took place during filming.
Palmer, who chose to remain anonymous about the identity of the individual, only referred to her as ‘Brenda,’ described a situation where tension arose on set. Stepping in to mediate the conflict, Palmer encouraged everyone to maintain a respectful and positive work environment. This prompted a heated response from ‘Brenda,’ who reportedly used the F-word and questioned Palmer’s authority, asking, “Kiki, what are you doing? Who do you think you are? Martin Luther King Jr. or something?”
‘Scream Queens,’ which aired on FOX from 2015, was a popular comedy-mystery series that followed a group of wealthy college students navigating a series of murders. The show, created by Ryan Murphy, known for ‘Glee,’ boasted a star-studded cast including Lea Michele, Emma Roberts, Abigail Breslin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Grande, and Skyler Samuels.
Despite the gravity of the incident, Palmer claims she chose not to be affected by ‘Brenda’s’ words, stating, “Her words were heavy, but I decided not to let them impact me. I know who I am.” She explained that she withheld the individual’s name to avoid giving power to their hateful comments. Palmer strongly emphasizes, “I’m not a victim. This isn’t my story. What she says doesn’t matter. If her words hurt me, then I’m playing into her hands.”
This revelation comes amidst a broader conversation about racial justice and equality in the entertainment industry, prompting further scrutiny of the experiences of actors of color in Hollywood. Palmer’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the subtle and insidious ways in which racism manifests in various environments, even within the glamorous world of entertainment. As Palmer’s memoir prepares to be released, the entertainment world waits to hear more about her journey and the challenges she faced navigating a complex and sometimes hostile industry.
