Shannon Thornton On The Need To Extend Grace To Keyshawn And Women Like Her
At the conclusion of the first season of P-Valley, Keyshawn, played by actress Shannon Thornton, had a decision to make. She could stay with her abusive boyfriend Derek or be with the club’s protective bouncer, Diamond. Sadly, she chose Derek. And with the onset of the pandemic shortly after, Keyshawn has had to live with the ramifications of her choices. Watching all of this unfold has been particularly interesting for Thornton who brings Keyshawn, aka Miss. Mississippi, to life on the Starz drama.
We had a chance to speak to Thornton about her character, the new season, and what she wishes audiences understood about victims of domestic violence. See what she had to say below.
Did you feel any pressure coming into the second season?
SHANNON THORNTON: I didn’t feel pressure. I was more excited than anything because we had waited for two years to see a script or anything so my imagination was running wild with the ideas of where this season would go. I think we were all thirsty for a script. So as soon as Katori threw us a little morsel, we just sopped it up. I’m really so, so excited for fans to see how this new season unravels.
