“Crazy Rich Asians” star Constance Wu said she attempted suicide three years ago after backlash for tweets she wrote about her show “Fresh Off the Boat.”
Actress Constance Wu, known for her lead roles in “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” said she attempted suicide three years ago after receiving backlash for tweets she wrote about the hit TV show.
Wu, who played family matriarch Jessica Huang on the show about a Taiwanese-American family living in Florida in the 1990s, expressed some frustration about the show’s continuation. Wu later apologized for the comments and clarified them, saying that she loved the show, but would be forced to give up a project that she was “really passionate about” in order to keep playing her role, Buzzfeed reported in 2019.
“When a few DMs from a fellow Asian actress told me I’d become a blight on the Asian American community, I started feeling like I didn’t even deserve to live anymore,” Wu confessed. “That I was a disgrace to , and they’d be better off without me.” Wu, 40, who was born to Taiwanese immigrant parents in Virginia, had a breakout film role in “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018 and another lead role in the film “Hustlers” in 2019. She currently appears in the “The Terminal List” series on Amazon Prime.
