In the Event of an Unwanted Fan Encounter: 'No Means No,' they say.
Keke Palmer claimed that a fan approached her multiple times at a bar and repeatedly asked for a picture with her before she filmed the Emmy-winning actress "against my will."
Keke Palmer has spoken out about an inappropriate encounter with a fan.
The 28-year-old actress and singer posted a series of tweets on Saturday detailing a recent interaction. Palmer stated that a woman repeatedly refused to accept that she did not want to take a picture with her. "No means no, even when it doesn't have anything to do with sex," Palmer said in her first tweet. "I was at the bar the different day, also this girl asked me 3 times for a picture, and I politely told her three times that I didn't want [to] take one with her."
Palmer claimed that the woman "still proceeded to film me against my will," noting in a follow-up message that she did not react to her, explaining, "If I went off on her, I would have been wrong, so I just nervously laughed while my privacy was invaded upon."
Palmer continued to write about the fan encounter in an Instagram post on Saturday, where she shared her two tweets and added the caption. "I hated that I smiled, but it's my defence mechanism to laugh or joke in an uncomfortable situation, and it always misleads people," the Scream Queens actress explained.
"I could literally want to scream, but I'm still performing [sic]. The fact that I tell people no at all is therapeutic progress for me, "Palmer went on. "Boundaries can sometimes be so difficult," the Emmy-winning actress continued, "but when you people please or always try to avoid conflict, you let yourself down every time..."
"Good luck to all those who struggle with this regularly," she added before concluding her message with a plea to fans.
