Keke Palmer had her own horror experience filming “Scream Queens.”
The 31-year-old actress claims in her upcoming memoir, “Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative,” that one of her white co-stars — who she refers to as “Brenda” — made a racist remark on the set of the Fox dark comedy series, which aired from 2015 to 2016.
Palmer, per the Los Angeles Times, said the offensive comment was made after “Brenda” clashed with another co-star. Palmer tried to calm “Brenda” down by suggesting that everyone “have fun and respect each other.”
In response, “Brenda” told Palmer, “Keke, literally, just don’t. Who do you think you are? Martin f—ing Luther King?”
Palmer told the LA Times she didn’t reveal her co-star’s identity so that the story wouldn’t be about “Brenda.”
“It was such a weighted thing that she said, but I didn’t allow that weight to be projected on me, because I know who I am,” the “Nope” star told the publication.
“I’m not no victim. That’s not my storyline, sweetie,” she added. “I don’t care what her ass said. If I allow what she said to cripple me, then she would.”
Palmer starred in “Scream Queens” with Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Billie Lourd, Abigail Breslin, Skyler Samuels and Jamie Lee Curtis.
After Palmer’s interview came out, fans took to social media to speculate which of her co-stars made the alleged remark.
One X user claimed it was Michele, 38, and included a screenshot showing that Palmer follows Roberts, Breslin, and Lourd, but not Michele, on Instagram to support her theory.
“That explains why Keke and her didn’t share any screen time in season 2,” another person wrote in response.
Elsewhere in her book, Palmer claimed that “Scream Queens” creator Ryan Murphy once “ripped” into her and told her she was unprofessional on a phone call over a disagreement about her filming schedule.
“It was kind of like I was in the dean’s office,” she said in her memoir. “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.’”
The “Hustlers” actress recalled that she apologized to Murphy, 59, and assumed the beef was squashed — until a few days later when she spoke to one of her co-stars in her trailer.
“I said, ‘Ryan talked to me and I guess he’s cool, it’s fine,’ and she was like, ‘It’s bad,’ trying to make me scared or something, which was a little irritating,’” Palmer shared.
She said that, before the incident, she thought she’d be an actor who becomes a mainstay in Murphy’s projects like Roberts, 33, and Sarah Paulson. However, Palmer believed that possibility was ruined because of their fight.
“Im still not sure Ryan cared, or got it, and that’s okay because he was just centering his business, which isn’t a problem to me,” she wrote in her book. “But what I do know is even if he didn’t care, and even if I never work with him again, he knows that I, too, see myself as a business.”
The Post has reached out to Murphy’s rep for comment.
Palmer’s memoir comes out Nov. 19.
