Keke Palmer recently shared an intense moment from her time on Scream Queens, recounting how creator Ryan Murphy confronted her after she missed a day on set—despite it being her scheduled day off. According to Palmer, Murphy was visibly upset and accused her of unprofessionalism, even “ripping into her” for not showing up. Palmer recalled Murphy saying, “I’ve never seen you behave like this. I can’t believe that you, out of all people, would do something like this.”
This unexpected reaction surprised Palmer, especially given her dedication to her role. The incident left her feeling misunderstood and caught off guard, as she had assumed her time off would be respected. Palmer’s experience sheds light on the pressures and high expectations actors often face, even on days when they’re technically off-duty. Her story has sparked discussions about the demanding nature of the entertainment industry and the need for clearer boundaries to support actors’ well-being and respect their personal time.
