Keke Palmer is alleging a shocking racist incident occurred on the set of her Fox slasher comedy Scream Queens.

In her upcoming memoir Master Of Me: The Secret To Controlling Your Narrative, the 31-year-old actress described a confrontation with a white costar who is only referred to by a pseudonym, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The unnamed actress allegedly compared Keke to Martin Luther King Jr. during a tense exchange. 

Elsewhere in the memoir, Palmer — who was recently seen in a fat suit for her latest project — recounts an incident in which Ryan Murphy, who co-created and produced Scream Queens, called her out for allegedly being ‘unprofessional.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Murphy and Fox Broadcasting to request comment.

Palmer’s time on the series, which aired for two seasons on Fox from 2015 through 2016, seems particularly difficult, according to her book and new profile. 

She starred on the horror-comedy with a bevy of women stars, including Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Billie Lourd and Jamie Lee Curtis, while Nasim Pedrad, Kirstie Alley, Ariana Grande and Cecily Strong were also featured on the series for a single season.

She writes that the actress referred to as Brenda was upset on set one day due to a conflict she was having with another colleague.

However, when Palmer tried to console her costar and said she hoped that everyone on the show could ‘have fun and respect each other,’ Brenda lashed out.

‘Keke, literally, just don’t. Who do you think you are? Martin F— Luther King?’ the unnamed actress allegedly sH๏τ back.

In her book, Palmer explained her decision to not name the woman, as she thought it would rob her words of power and not make Brenda the center of discussion.

‘I’m not no victim. That’s not my storyline, sweetie. I don’t care what her a** said. If I allow what she said to cripple me, then she would,’ she added defiantly.

The jab comparing her to Martin Luther King Jr. was ironic, as Palmer’s parents had instructed her to follow the Civil Rights Movement icon’s example when she was the victim of microagressions in kindergarten at a private Catholic school.

Another incident described in Palmer’s book involved Murphy, who co-created the series with his regular collaborators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, as well as produced, wrote and directed select episodes.

She wrote about how she had scheduled an unspecified ‘business obligation’ for what was to be a day off on her Scream Queens shooting schedule.

However, Palmer was later told by staff members on the series — seemingly at the last minute — that she had been rescheduled to shoot on what had previously been her day off.

Instead of canceling her plans, she skipped the day of shooting and instead took care of her prior obligation, though it’s unclear if she communicated that decision with the production.

Murphy allegedly wasn’t happy about her absence, and she said that he called her up and ‘ripped’ into her over the behavior.

‘It was kind of like I was in the deans office,’ she said while speaking to the LA Times. ‘He was like, “I’ve never seen you behave like this. I can’t believe that you, out of all people, would do something like this.”‘

Palmer said she apologized to the television producer and thought that everything was settled between them, but days later she spoke with one of her costars who didn’t have as rosy an interpretation of the conflict.

After she told the other woman that she thought she and Murphy were ‘cool,’ her costar said the situation was still ‘bad,’ which Palmer thought was an attempt to scare her straight.

Hollywood productions are infamous for their long hours — most actors and crew members can expect to work 10–12 hours per day, minimum, and its not unheard of for a single shooting day to go as long as 14 or 16 hours — but they also can be erratic, and changing shooting days is not unheard of.

The Nope star added that early on her time on Scream Queens she had hoped to become one of Murphy’s regular stars, such as Emma Roberts, Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange and Billie Lourd.

However, after she skipped the rescheduled shooting date to focus on other obligations, she feared that Murphy had blacklisted her and would know longer cast her in other projects — though it’s unclear if the conflict between the two occurred on the first or second season of Scream Queens.

‘I’m still not sure Ryan cared, or got it, and that’s okay because he was just centering his business, which isn’t a problem to me,’ Palmer wrote in her book. ‘But what I do know is even if he didn’t care, and even if I never work with him again, he knows that I, too, see myself as a business.’

Murphy, via his publicist, declined a request for comment from the LA Times.
