Everybody wants a piece of Keke Palmer.

In a new episode of the Decisions Decisions podcast, the actress says she turned down a celebrity couple who propositioned her for a threesome.

“They came up to me very normal, and I respected that,” Palmer said at the 28:50 minute mark. “I respect that they was like, ‘Look, me and my husband, we would love to blah blah blah.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you.’ You know, I wasn't into it, but I was like, ‘Thank you.’”

When the hosts asked Palmer why she wasn’t feeling the couple, she revealed she’s a fan of their work. “I fuck with them heavy,” Keke said. “I respected the vibe that she took.”

Palmer said she’s been approached before, but often, the person asks indirectly.

“They weren't really coming right out with it. Spit it out,” Palmer explained. “Allow somebody to have consent. I don't think there's anything wrong with people's unique relationships. I think we got to stop yucking other everybody's yums. If somebody's in an open marriage, if somebody has a swinging relationship, if somebody has a whatever, let them do that. And you ain't got to be a part of it. But like people have things that work for them.”

The 32-year-old recently went viral when a stranger proposed to her at a SXSW panel with the cast of I Love Boosters. Footage of the incident showed a man bent on one knee in front of the stage while Palmer, Demi Moore, Naomi Ackie, and Eiza Gonzalez were chatting.

"I can't marry you, I don't know you, I'm so sorry," she told the man. "I'm so sorry, sir. No, it's okay. Is this a prank?" she asked. Security subsequently escorted the man out of the venue.
