Dec. 16--When "Scream Queens" star Keke Palmer released the music video for her single "I Don't Belong to You" in October, questions began to arise about her sexuality.
The beginning of the video features Palmer, who grew up in Robbins, in bed with a man but she ends up with a woman at the end of the song.
"The video was to represent the young woman today -- it's not the traditional woman anymore -- and not the specifics of 'Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi?'" Palmer told People magazine in a story posted online Wednesday. "I'm making the rules for myself, and I don't have to be stuck down to one label."
Palmer, 22, rose to fame after appearing in "Akeelah and the Bee" in 2006 and Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, VP." She's set to appear as a Pink Lady in "Grease: Live" on Fox on Jan. 31.
"I don't feel the need to define nothin' to nobody, because I'm always changing. Why say that I'm this or that when I might not be tomorrow?" Palmer said. "I'm gonna follow my own feelings and my own heart."
Ryan Murphy's "Scream Queens" wrapped up its first season last week on Fox.
