Got A Point? Keke Palmer Highlights The Value Of “Individualism” In Romantic Relationships

Keke Palmer Highlights Value Of "Individualism" In Relationships
Share

Keke Palmer is reportedly in the middle of a custody battle and restraining order with her son’s paternal family. But the longtime actress has remained hush-hush on those headlines on her public platforms.

Instead, Palmer has given fans a peep at her booming career, life with Leo, and even her thoughts on love and partnership. On Jan. 22, Keke Palmer hopped on X, formerly Twitter, with her POV on the value of “individualism” in romance.

She clarified that she’s “no relationship guru,” adding a cold sweat emoticon.

However, she wrote:

“…I believe that love should honor individualism even in partnership. If I’m not good as an individual how can I be good in union? If love means compromising my passion, ambition or dreams then it’s not the love for me. Because if I lose myself, I will eventually lose you too or worse, blame you.”

As previously reported, Keke Palmer split from her son’s father, Darius Daulton Jackson, in October, citing multiple forms of abuse. In November, she filed a restraining order against Darius. A judge granted the order, barring Darius, at the time, from approaching Palmer and custody and visitations with Leo.

Since then, Darius has claimed Keke was the abusive instigator of disagreements. Since then, his brother, ‘Insecure’ actor Sarunas Jackson, has filed a restraining order against Palmer and her mother, Sharon. He cited alleged threats and harassment, requesting protection and that Keke Palmer pay his legal fees related to the filing.

As mentioned, Monday wasn’t the first time Keke Palmer has spoken about relationships since her split with Darius. In November, she highlighted “generational toxicity, trauma reenactment, and abuse in relationships” on her podcast ‘Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.’

This next episode is a therapy session in itself. On the podcast, I’m speaking with @drdrew about generational toxicity, trauma reenactment, and abuse in relationships. Listen now to #BabyThisisKekePalmer wherever you get your podcasts. pic.twitter.com/X1EojSyd4A

Social Media Reacts To Keke Palmer Offering Relationship Thoughts

After The Shade Room reposted Keke’s X post on Instagram, the roomies weighed in on her non-guru thoughts.

Some folks seemingly agreed with what Palmer had to say.

xotanye wrote, “That part. How you gone win when you ain’t right within.” 

ruthhgrace added, “The ones that get it, get it.”

charliejewel_ wrote, “This is why I say people should seek therapy individually before going as a couple.”

themeganbaca said, “Not everyone who is attracted to your light wants to see you shine. They are just drawn in like flies. Someone who is for you will not require you to dim yourself to make them more comfortable.” 

baymamiray wrote, “I would have to agree honestly. Some women go berserk because they are too focused on the man. It’s nice to have your own life outside of the relationship. Give me some space to miss you.”

Meanwhile, others in the comment section shared their POV of how she handled her ex-relationship.

iiirdparty wrote, “You had a relationship you let single people on the internet destroy.”

fefothevoice said, “You had a shot you chose the streets.” 

obp_yeayouknowme wrote, “Keke. You should’ve just left it at the first sentence.”

spinmoverondoe said, “Taking relationship advice from someone that’s in a DV case is crazy to me.”

khvlfvni said, “Is losing yourself not wearing a see-through dress for another man?”

When this article was published, Keke had not reacted to the mixed reactions to her X post.

Keke 'Keep A Bag' Palmer Remains Booked & Busy Amid Public Issues With Ex-Boyfriend

Despite public disputes with her son’s paternal family, Keke is living up to her social media nickname. Sis is keeping her bag flowing amid the drama.

In early November, she was named the host of the 2023 Soul Train Awards, which aired on Nov. 26 on BET.

Meanwhile, this month, Palmer made history with her second Emmy win. She won for “Outstanding Host for a Game Show” for hosting NBC’s series ‘Password.’ The win marks the first time in 15 years that a woman has won the title. Palmer is also the first Black woman to be nominated in the category and take the W.
