Keke Palmer Reflects On Relationships Post Darius Jackson Drama: "Misogyny Came At Me Hard And Quick"

In the wake of a tumultuous chapter with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, actress and singer Keke Palmer took to her podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer, to share candid insights into the misconceptions she harbored about relationships. The revelation follows Palmer's recent accusations of domestic violence against Jackson, a saga that has now taken an unexpected turn. On Tuesday's podcast episode, Palmer admitted to having a somewhat positive view of relationships. Shaped by the loving and respectful dynamics within her parents' marriage. She described her father, Larry, as a figure who embraced her mother's opinions and decisions with a nonchalant, "Go on ahead, Sharon." However, she says the harsh reality of misogyny hit her quickly as she begin dating for herself.

"So misogyny came at me hard and quick, with the quickness," Palmer said. "I grew up in a house where my mom would say, ‘This is what it needs to be.’ And (my father) Larry would be like, ‘OK, Sharon. Go on ahead, Sharon.' So, for me, when I entered outside of my household and I saw that everybody doesn’t really respect their wives or even women in the way that my dad respects my mom, it (was) a pretty rude awakening."
