Keke Palmer is catching heat after fans noticed a podcast episode featuring Jonathan Majors quietly vanished before its scheduled release. The Baby, This Is Keke Palmer episode, originally set to drop on April 8th, was previewed on the Wondry app last week. Its description explored the idea of accountability, reading: “Accountability. It’s a loaded word, right? We’re living in a time where we want real accountability—especially for things men have gotten away with for far too long. At the same time, finding forgiveness feels harder than ever, and we’re still figuring out what true accountability even looks like.”

But when the episode didn’t appear on the platform as planned, fans were quick to notice. Instead, Palmer released a new conversation with rapper Kash Doll, prompting speculation that the Majors interview had been pulled amid backlash.

Majors, who was convicted in December 2023 of assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, remains a polarizing figure. Many fans expressed outrage at the idea of him being given a space to speak on a platform hosted by Palmer, while others were curious to hear what he had to say.

Adding to the controversy, audio from a heated exchange between Majors and Jabbari recently surfaced, in which he admitted, “I’d never [been] aggressive with a woman before,” after acknowledging he had strangled her. In a March interview with Complex, Majors alluded to the aftermath of the case, saying, “I was so grateful that I had done my work, you know? And I’m continuing to do my work.”

Palmer has not commented on the missing episode or addressed whether it will ever be released, leaving listeners wondering if the backlash was enough to shut it down for good.
