Bad Chemistry

A new still from Jordan Peele’s Nope (Universal, 7.22), and particularly (l. to. r.) of Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer and Brandon Perea.

Palmer, of course, has become world famous over the last three weeks (or since 4.20) as the woman whose adverse reaction to a physical prank by Being Mortal costar Bill Murray — i.e., his allegedly yanking her pigtail in a nyuk-nyuk, joking-around way — led to production on Aziz Ansari‘s film being suspended.

Nobody knows for a fact that Murray’s offense involved pigtail-pulling, but if it was about that (and I know nothing at all) there’s a whole thing about black girls being extremely sensitive about white people touching their hair.
