Palmer disclosed that she had spent years repressing her sexuality, keeping it hidden from her family. However, as she reached a turning point in her life, the actress decided to explore and accept her feelings, acknowledging that this was a crucial step towards finding love and happiness.
In the interview, Palmer revealed “I experienced a time in my life when I questioned whether I could truly be authentic and just be myself. It was a moment of overthinking things,” Palmer shared with co-hosts Raven-Symoné and the wife of the “That’s So Raven” star, Miranda Maday.
“I realized that this overthinking wasn’t even a reflection of who I am. Why was I putting myself through this unnecessary worry? Eventually, I reached a point where I wanted to live life on my own terms.”
