*An old interview of Wendy Williams chopping it up with Keke Palmer about her conflict with Trey Songz has resurfaced, and fans are praising the actress for how she handled the messy talk show host.
In 2017, Palmer accused Songz of using “sexual intimidation” to coerce her into his music video shoot, and then released the video publicly without her consent.
As reported by dailydot.com, when Williams asked Palmer about the incident, the “Scream Queens” star noted that the daytime diva had already talked about the situation on her show.
“I would have loved to turn on your show, and saw you be a little bit more compassionate and a little less accusatory,” Palmer said.

Williams said she couldn’t be compassionate, Palmer fired back with: “The gag is, you wasn’t there.”
When Williams pointed out that singers often film music videos at parties to save money, Palmer explained, “It’s normalized, and that’s my problem,” she said.
“Forget about what you say to me, the thing is we’re then telling girls it’s OK for them to be in weird and awkward and potentially sexually harassing environments, and they should endure it and not say nothing about it. That’s why I said something about it, because look, it happens to me too. It happens to all of us. Just because I’m in Hollywood doesn’t mean we all as women endure that.”
Palmer added, “We have to start saying no when things don’t feel right” and Williams interjected, “But why didn’t you just leave?”
“Because I was nervous,” she explained. “Honestly, you guys. Think about your first time that you were in a situation where someone challenged you sexually. You don’t know how to act. And it was very, very nerve-wracking. You know how it is. You know. You’re a woman of power. How many times have you been tested? In situations of how you can stand on your own and not fall at the hands of someone else.”
Williams said she was “the girl who would always leave.”
“And I did leave,” Palmer responded. “But I mean if I hid in the closet for a couple seconds what the hell.”
As the old clip is finding new life on Twitter, fans are expressing their delight over Palmer’s claim responses to Williams’s questions.
Palmer previously shared her side of the story on social media, and took legal action against Songz but they were able to bury the hatchet, and the video was eventually taken down. Songz is now being sued for sexual assault by an anonymous woman in Georgia after previously being hit with felony domestic violence charges by a woman named Andrea Buera.
