- Keke Palmer squashes rumor that ABC fired her fromGood Morning AmericaandStrahan, Sara & Kekefor speaking up about Black Lives Matter.
- Keke dispelled the rumors on Instagram saying,I want to speak on this simply because I hate the narrative that if you speak your mind as a [Black] person that you will in some way be punished. I have seen this going around and at first, I ignored but in this climate, I realized this is a dangerous message to send to our generation and the generation coming up.
- She also said,If anything, my speaking out showed the corporations I work with how important my voice is and anyone that has a POV. The reality is I was never signed to 'SSK' as one would a seasonal show. This business is dynamic and instead of thinking of me as a 'series regular' ... see me as a brand that works with the corporation Disney/ABC News and this particular show I was on is no longer.
- Keke concluded with,Do not believe this lie. Stay courageous and stay true because GOD HAS YOU ALWAYS!
