Keke Palmer: Our Good Morning America spinoff was not canceled because I participated in Black Lives Matter protests

Palmer responded to social media speculation that her protesting contributed to GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke's cancelation. "I want to speak on this simply because I hate the narrative that if you speak your mind as a black person that you will in some way be punished,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I have seen this going around and at first I ignored but in this climate I realized this is a dangerous message to send to our generation and the generation coming up. If anything my speaking out showed the corporations I work with how important my voice is and anyone that has a POV. The reality is I was never signed to ‘SSK’ as one would a seasonal show. This business is dynamic and instead of thinking of me as a ‘series regular’ see me see me as a brand that works with the corporation Disney/ABC News and this particular show I was on is no longer. That does not mean the relationship I have with them dies, that means it evolves."
