In her new book, Keke Palmer says Ryan Murphy "ripped" into her after she took a planned day off on "Scream Queens," which she believes effectively ended any potential long-term working relationship between them. https://t.co/MpUbulkhcD https://t.co/hdoAJpjoBK

In her new book, Keke Palmer writes about being compared to Zendaya when "Nope" was released: “I got people telling me my career isn’t as good as someone else’s because of the complexion of my skin? No, babe, I won’t let you project that onto me.” https://t.co/iBsCof6t4d
