The scrapped episode, originally scheduled to air on the same day, was titled “No Easy Answers: Accountability and Moving Forward,” hinting at a discussion on Majors’ controversial past. Majors has faced significant scrutiny following allegations of domestic violence, which led to his 2023 arrest and subsequent conviction on charges of assault and harassment. Although he has maintained his innocence and is working on a Hollywood comeback, the decision to platform him on Palmer’s Wondery-produced podcast drew immediate criticism. Many fans expressed disappointment, with some calling Palmer “weird” for inviting Majors, arguing that he does not deserve a platform given his history.
Palmer, known for her vibrant personality and candid discussions on the podcast, has not publicly addressed the cancellation. However, the swift replacement with an episode featuring Kash Doll—a rapper celebrated for her resilience and authenticity—suggests a response to the backlash. The podcast, which launched under Wondery, typically explores a range of topics from pop culture to personal growth, with Palmer’s charm and curiosity at the forefront.
