Two months ago actress KeKe Palmer axed her interview with actor Jonathan Majors after fierce social media backlash surrounding his domestic violence conviction [click here if you missed that].
Keke explains why she did it...
From Variety
Palmer said the team behind her podcast pulled the Majors episode “based off of the reaction” of having Majors on as a guest, adding: “People felt it was insensitive. I always want to be respectful and understand where everybody’s coming from. If they’re not going to feel like they’re going to receive anything good from the interview, then okay, cool. But I sat down with the brother for us to talk and let him be heard. I mean, people sit down with serial killers.”
“I’m not comparing him to a serial killer,” Palmer continued. “At the end of the day, I felt as a journalist, I’m supposed to talk and let the public decide how they want to feel. But that didn’t get a chance to happen. I wish them all the best. I really want to say that because I don’t judge nobody because I don’t want to be judged. So at the end of the day, I’m happy for Meagan. I’m happy for them. Maybe one day, we get a chance to put [the podcast interview] out. I’m not sure.”
