Keke Palmer has called out Houston Airport for allegedly being threatened with the confiscation of the breast milk she’d pumped.
On Monday (June 12), the outraged singer and actor took to Twitter to address the situation, calling out those who “ruined” her mood.
“Breast milk discrimination at the Houston airport ruined my mood,” Keke Palmer began. “I should’ve popped my tit out right then because the discretion and comfort of pumping is thwarted with threats to throw out over 16oz my babies food?!?!!! Why is that not a crime??”
She continued: “I’M A MOTHER for crying out loud [crying emojis]”

In February, Keke Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Leodis Andrellton Jackson.
In an Instagram post shortly after his birth, Keke shared a few photos of their bundle of joy and explained what the first 48 hours of being a new parent looked like for their household.
“Hey Son!!!” Keke wrote. “1. Only 48hrs of being parents! 2. Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favorite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God! 3. The baby love Rolling Ray, cause purrr. 4. ‘I’m not hiding the world from my son, I’m hiding my son from the world.’ Hahaha 5. I’m just playing, my baby face is on this slide.”
She then revealed her son’s name, joking: “Born during Black History Month, with a name to match! LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.”

Palmer previously confirmed rumors of her pregnancy during her Saturday Night Live hosting debut last December. “There’s some rumors going around. People have been in my comments saying: ‘Keke’s having a baby,’ ‘Keke’s pregnant.’ And I want to set the record straight. I am,” she said in her opening monologue before revealing her baby bump.
The multi-hyphenate then appeared on The Tonight Show and accidentally revealed that she and her partner were expecting a son by speaking on his possible astrological signs.
Up next for Keke Palmer – who was recently crowned Best Supporting Actress by the New York Film Critics Circle for her role as Emerald in Jordan Peele’s Nope – she will star alongside Sacha Baron Cohen in the forthcoming film, Super Toys.
The two will play “groovy ’70s toy sales reps on a life-and-death mission to save themselves, their marriage, and their live-wire 12-year-old daughter while on the road in Middle America,” according to a press release.
