Huge Twist in Keke Palmer-Might-Be-Getting-Canceled-Over-Jonathan Majors Mess

Keke Palmer has scrapped the Jonathan Majors interview from her podcast but a preview clip is still floating around the internet.

It looks like Keke Palmer, the β€œInternet’s Favorite Cousin,” is doing her best to make sure that she keeps her title. In case you have no clue what’s been going on, last week Keke Palmer was dragged by the internet after viral pop culture news source Pop Crave announced Jonathan Majors was set to appear on her podcast, β€œBaby, This Is Keke Palmer.” But, Pop Base, another pop culture news source, announced the interview that was supposed to drop yesterday has now been replaced with an interview with Kash Doll instead.

Though Keke Palmer never addressed the rumor, it was confirmed by the fact that the episode showed up on the actress’s official podcast page. And, according to The Daily Beast, there was even a preview clip for the interview on TikTok. The video has now been deleted, but has been reposted onto X captioned, β€œThis is so embarrassing.” 

The replies under the post were just as outraged as when the interview was first announced, but there were a handful of fans who came to her defense. Like this one user who wrote, β€œHot take: real journalists and talk show hosts sometimes talk to the β€˜villains’ or people on the wrong side of historyβ€”like when Gayle King interviewed R. Kelly. It’s about capturing the full picture: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don’t have a problem with @KekePalmer.”

But this type of defense was few and far between as the majority of the timeline kept their original stance against the episode.

β€œDid she even address it? Or just pretended it didn’t even happen? Gross,” qrote one user in the replies.

β€œShe’s weird for even inviting him” added another.

And yet, another user said that the backlash was bullying for a β€œgood cause.” And though Keke Palmer has not come out to address anything it looks like the internet’s collective dragging has led her to sweep the episode under the rug.
