Haters back off. Keke’s ain’t got time for your bullsh*t no more!
According to People, on Monday night, Keke and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, stepped out for a New York City date following her surprise pregnancy announcement on SNL.
The pair was spotted at a New York Rangers vs. Saint Louis Blues hockey game at Maison Square Garden, where she and her beau were featured on the jumbotron.
The Nope star rocked a neon green hoodie, a New York Rangers cap, and some large frames for the special date night. She also went makeup-free, which some internet trolls quickly commented on – until Ms. Palmer hit back.
On Tuesday (December 6), Keke took to Twitter to clap back at the haters, writing:
“I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly ’cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real. I’m beautiful in real life because of who I am, not what I look like.”

In a follow-up tweet, Keke continued, “I wish I could bottle how I feel about myself and sell it. Because some people take comments to heart, and these ppl just say anything. I mean, truly, it’s insane to say anyone is ugly, but especially me.”

I don’t know if what I’m going to say is going to be received well, but I saw your profile picture, and because I don’t know when females are wearing makeup and when they’re not, I sometimes feel the need to assume that some females are because they’re in entertainment.

This summer, Keke received global acclaim for her role as Emerald Haywood in Jordan’s Peele commercial hit, Nope. 2022 also saw her launch her podcast, This Is Keke Palmer, via Amazon Music.
Speaking at an interview with Complex in November, Keke said she was drawn to this particular opportunity because of its potential to allow her another venue to “learn and explore” herself in a more personal setting.
