Keke Palmer Said THIS TV Moment Gaslighted Millenials: Ashley Tisdale Involved?

Keke Palmer gained popularity in the late 2000s because of her iconic portrayal of True Jackson on the Nickelodeon series "True Jackson, VP."

Her reign during the era of teen sitcoms, alongside Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Miranda Crosgrove, Jeanette McCurdy, and even Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato were something that Millennials and Generation Z kids have watched religiously.

In a recent Tweet by Palmer, she reposted a clip that would recall some happy (and angry) memories for some that have watched the clip before.

Palmer quote tweeted a now-viral clip that features a scene on an episode "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" where Hotel Tipton was conducting auditions for a "High School Musical" remake, a Disney Channel original movie that one of the series' cast members was also a part on.

The clip featured Maddie, played by Ashley Tisdale, who iconically portrayed Sharpay Evans in the film franchise.

Cole, who was playing Zack, asked Maddie what role she was auditioning for. To which Maddie immediately and characteristically said, Sharpay.

"Hello, Sharpay. People say I just look like her," Tisdale said in the clip. Zack then brushed her off, saying that he did not see it.

During the auditions, Maddie played an iconic Sharpay Evans song,

"Bop To The Top," where she was shushed after just a few lines before being told that she does not look like the part.

Palmer saw the now-viral tweet and quote tweeted it, saying that it was "Millennials first taste of gaslighting," prompting reactions from her 2.2 million followers on Twitter.

Fans echoed the "pain" and "annoyance" that their younger self back then, screaming to their TV screens that Maddie was actually Sharpay.

Turns out, the gag still lives up until now.

"Yikes! The whole thing was painful," a fan tweeted.

"no cuz the emotional pain that this episode took me through???? i can't ever trust people the same till this day," another user jokingly recalled.

"When I tell you I use to live for these gag moments when the characters break character to Be themselves or to mention themselves third party as if they aren't said person," someone shared.

Both Palmer and Tisdale shot to fame after their performances on their respective shows. Tisdale's character Sharpay had a spin-off movie with Austin Butler, while Palmer was cast in various TV series and movies, showcasing her vocal abilities and comedic wit.
