Keke Palmer sheds light on negative impact of stardom

Keke Palmer has recently addressed negative impact of fame in a new cover story.

Speaking to Self magazine, the Nope actress opened up about the perils of stardom, saying, “It is lonely. How I deal with it is to not centre myself.”

“I think about all the other people who feel weird in the world, because if we take all the glamour out of it, and all the specifics and uniqueness of what it means to be famous, it just means feeling weird,” she told the magazine.

Reflecting on scary heights of her fame, Keke stated, “I think everybody in the world feels extraordinarily alienated, and we feel even more alienated when we alienate others.”

“And that’s what comes with fame,” remarked the 31-year-old.

The Scream Queens star explained, “I’m known around the world and now I’m even less able to connect to the very people that I would want to use my fame to connect to.”

“That was probably the hardest part,” she continued.

Keke noted, “We’re all alone, and we’re looking for a sense of shared aloneness. And I think that essentially as an entertainer, it’s the same thing.”

“There’s a level of being ostracized through fame, but everybody goes through it. It’s not necessarily unique; it feels that way to others and to ourselves at times, but it’s just its own brand of the human experience,” she added.

Meanwhile, Keke is currently busy promoting her new memoir, Master of Me: The Secret To Controlling Your Narrative.
