At the Houston airport, Keke Palmer spoke out against what she referred to as "breast milk discrimination," standing up for herself and mothers everywhere. The 29-year-old Nope star shared on Twitter that the TSA had threatened to dispose of her breast milk supply during her recent airport experience in Texas.
The Houston airport's discriminatory treatment towards breastfeeding mothers left Keke Palmer feeling disheartened. She expressed her frustration on Twitter, questioning why it is not considered a crime to threaten to dispose of a baby's food. As a new mother to son Leodis, whom she welcomed with boyfriend Darius Jackson, Palmer is experiencing the challenges of sleepless nights but is still overjoyed in her role as a mother. According to an insider, Leo's lively personality keeps his parents on their toes, but Darius has been a significant source of support.
Despite her exhaustion, the Scream Queens alum has continued to stay busy since the birth of her first child. In May, she released her latest album, Big Boss, along with a corresponding film. Additionally, she has lent her voice to both Human Resources and The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder since 2022. Palmer first announced her pregnancy during her hosting gig on Saturday Night Live in December 2022, revealing her baby bump to the world.
"I've been trying to keep it under wraps, but I couldn't resist sharing the news with my fans. Yes, it's true - I'm pregnant! Despite the rumors and speculation, I wanted to set the record straight and be the one to share the exciting news. Although it's been a challenge keeping it a secret, I didn't want anything to interfere with my other projects and commitments. But now that the news is out there, I can't wait to embrace this new chapter in my life. Although some people may have reservations about me becoming a mom, I'm confident in my abilities and ready for this journey."
Palmer and Jackson have been in a romantic relationship since August of this year. The personal trainer expressed his gratitude towards his partner on Instagram, stating that she has been a blessing in his life. Despite the unexpected turn of events during the summer, the couple was able to support each other during their lowest moments and bring their best to the relationship.
