After facing criticism for including the actor on her program, Keke Palmer replaced Jonathan Majors appearance on her podcast with Kash Doll.

The show was originally scheduled to air on Tuesday, April 8, under the title “No Easy Answers: Accountability and Moving Forward with Jonathan Majors”, according to information online.

The official description on the podcast video reads as follows:

“Accountability. It’s a loaded word, right? We’re living in a time where we want real accountability—especially for things men have gotten away with for far too long.

At the same time, finding forgiveness feels harder than ever, and we’re still figuring out what true accountability even looks like. 

Today, we’re sitting down with Jonathan Majors to talk about what life has looked like after being convicted of harassment and assault. 

This conversation isn’t here to give you all the answers—it’s complicated, it’s messy—but hopefully, it brings us a little closer to understanding the complex emotional landscape of the time we’re living through.”

As word got out on social media, a lot of people were upset with the 31-year-old for giving Majors access to her platform.

This is because, in December 2023, the former Marvel star attacked his ex-girlfriend in a car, leading to his conviction for assault and harassment.

Also, Majors acknowledged strangling his partner in 2022 on recordings that were made public earlier this year.

Even though Keke Palmer did not reply to the criticism, the podcast decided to replace Jonathan’s interview with a brand-new episode called “Keepin’ It Chalant with Kash Doll.”

An X user claims that the Jonathan Majors episode was unannouncedly deleted from the paywalled Wondery+ page after a week of availability.

Additionally, the social media account posted “cliff notes” purportedly taken by someone who listened to the conversation.

which was about his marriage to actress Meagan Good, the previously mentioned guilty verdict, parenting, and child sexual abuse were all referenced in the bullet points.

The note-taker finally referred to the conversation as “word salad” and mentioned his most recent appearance on the Sherri Shepherd Show.

However, below are some reactions from X.
