Keke Palmer Says Ryan Murphy ‘Ripped’ Into Her During Angry Phone Call About ‘Scream Queens’ Schedule: ‘It Was Like I Was in the Dean’s Office’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Keke Palmer recently spoke to the Los Angeles Times about her upcoming memoir “Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative,” which includes one story that alleges Ryan Murphy “ripped” into the actor during their time working on “Scream Queens” together.

Palmer played Zayday Williams in the Fox horror comedy, which ran for two seasons in 2015 and 2016. As reported by the Times, Palmer describes in the book “how she’d been given her shooting schedule and arranged to fulfill another business obligation on a day off.

But when that day rolled around, production told her that she was actually needed on set. She decided to keep her prior obligation, which resulted in an angry phone call with Murphy in which he ‘ripped’ into her and told her she was unprofessional.” “It was kind of like I was in the dean’s office,” Palmer told the publication while asked about the incident. “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.’” Variety has reached out to Murphy’s representative for comment.
