😳 Keke Palmer Shuts Down Surprise Marriage Proposal From Fan During SXSW Panel

An unexpected moment at South by Southwest had the crowd stunned after a fan attempted to propose to Keke Palmer during a live panel discussion.

The awkward interaction happened while Palmer was hosting an event at the festival when a man suddenly approached the stage holding a small black box. As people in the audience began filming, the man asked the Nope actress for her hand in marriage.

Palmer immediately shut the proposal down.

“I can’t marry you,” Palmer told the man. “I don’t know you. I’m so sorry.”

Despite the fan continuing to plead his case, Palmer stayed calm but firm, making it clear the moment wasn’t going any further.

At one point, Palmer even suggested the situation might be some kind of prank as the crowd reacted to the surprising scene.

However, it quickly became clear the man appeared serious about the proposal.

Security soon stepped in and escorted the man away from the stage before removing him from the building. Once the situation was handled, the panel continued without further interruptions.

The moment has since gone viral online, with many people praising Palmer for keeping her composure during such an uncomfortable and unexpected situation.
