Keke Palmer Says ‘I Wasn’t in the Same Conversations as Victoria Justice, Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus’ as a Teen Star: I Was the ‘Black Girl on the Network’
Keke Palmer says as an actor she was never in the same conversations as Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Victoria Justice.
“There is a loss of innocence that comes with the awareness that you’re treated differently that I’d accepted a long time ago,” Palmer said, noting that being othered on television was hardly a new experience for her, as she was the only Black girl in her private school class growing up in Illinois. While Gomez and Cyrus’ series found success on the Disney Channel, Justice’s “Victorious” was a fellow Nickelodeon show. Palmer is currently making the press rounds in support of her upcoming comedy “One of Them Days,” which co-stars Grammy winner SZA.
