The actress recently shared details on social media of a fan encounter that left her feeling pretty uncomfortable…
Palmer explained that she recently told a fan “no” when she approached her asking to take a photo with the star but claims that the fan began filming her without her permission.
“No means no, even when it doesn’t pertain to s*x,” Palmer said on Twitter, adding: “I was at the bar the other day and this girl asked me three times for a picture and I told her three times nicely that I did not want to take one with her. She still preceded to film me against my will..”
“If I went off on her I would’ve been wrong, so I just nervously laughed while my privacy was invaded upon,” she wrote in a separate comment.
She then went on to share her thoughts on Instagram, writing: “Clearly I’m still upset about it cause I hated that I smiled, but that is my defense mechanism to laugh or joke in an uncomfortable situation and it misleads people every time,” Palmer said, sharing a photo of her tweets.
“Literally I could be wanting to scream, and on the outside, I’m still performing. The fact that I tell people no at all is therapeutic progress for me obvs.”
She also said that: “creating boundaries can sometimes be so difficult but when you people please or always try to avoid conflict, you let yourself down every time.”
Palmer added: “Good luck to all those who also struggle with this from time to time.”
“If you ever want a picture with me and I say no, let’s just let that rock,” she concluded.
Many people commented on Plamer’s post in support of her decision to decline the photo op, comedian Amy Schumer wrote: “Such a violation. Sickening. I’m sorry that happened.”
While one fan wrote: “People are really out of order! Ughhh.” A third commented: “I would’ve said on her camera ‘you lame as hell why would you wanna take a pic with someone that didn’t want one with you now post that and let the world know how lame u are too.'”
What do you make of her decision?
