Keke Palmer took to Twitter Saturday to discuss a recent encounter involving a fan who allegedly filmed her after sheย politely declined to take a photo on three separate occasions.
Palmer said she was at a bar when a woman approached her and asked forย a picture several times. The Nope actress claimed she โnicelyโ told her that she didnโt want to takeย a photo, but the fanย โstill [proceeded] to film me against my will.โย
โNo means no, even when it doesnโt pertain to sex. I was at the bar the other day and this girl asked me three times for a picture and I told her three times nicely that I did not want take one with her,โ she wrote.ย โShe still preceded to film me against my will.โ
Palmer said she โnervously laughedโ off the situation, knowing if she were to lash out over someone invading her privacy, it would have placed her in a bad light.ย
Palmer elaborated even further on the uncomfortableย situation on Instagram, admitting that her behavior in the moment wasnโt indicative of how she felt internally.ย
โClearly Iโm still upset about it,โ she captioned the post. โI hated that I smiled, but that is my defense mechanism to laugh or joke in an uncomfortable situation and it misleads people every time.โ
โLiterally I could be wanting to scream, and on the outside Iโm still preforming. The fact that I tell people no at all is therapeutic progress for me,โ Palmer added. โCreating boundaries can sometimes be so difficult but when you people please or always try to avoid conflict, you let yourself down every time.โ
Back in 2020, Palmer alsoย voiced her desire forย privacyย amid speculation that she and August Alsina had dated. After someone posted a black-and-white photo of her and August, asking, โThis you?,โ she responded, โThe theme is boundaries. Everybody doesnโt need to know your business, thatโs not fake thatโs honoring oneโs privacy.โย
Palmer ended her IG post with some words of advice for anyone who asks to take a photo with her,ย but this could be applied to everyone who wants a picture with a celebrity. โIf you ever want a picture with me and I say no, letโs just let that rock,โ she wrote.
