‘Crazy Rich Asians’ star Constance Wu said the alleged sexual harassment by a ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ producer eventually led to a controversial Twitter moment.In her book, “Making a Scene,” Wu alleges that the producer touched her inappropriately and “controlled her, demanding that she run all her business matters past him and telling her what to wear,” according to the New York Times.
“Once I felt a little bit of job security ... I started saying no to this producer — which infuriated him — but it was OK, so I thought ... I could just keep it inside,” Wu told Meyers. “And as a result, I feel like I was never able to really be myself on set because I’d see my abuser being buddy buddy with everybody else knowing what he had done to me.”‘After a little break from Hollywood and a lot of therapy I feel OK enough to venture back on’ social media, actor Constance Wu wrote in statement.
She also noted that the alleged harassment occurred “before the #MeToo movement” began to shift the culture of silenceIn 2019, Wu drew harsh criticism on social media for complaining on Twitter about “Fresh Off the Boat” getting renewed for a sixth season. The groundbreaking ABC series starred Wu as the matriarch of the Huang family — her breakout role.
Following her Twitter outburst, many accused the “Crazy Rich Asians” actor of being ungrateful for the show that kickstarted her career and made major strides for Asian American representation onscreen. Wu later apologized for her “insensitive” remarks and clarified that she was “temporarily upset” because the “Fresh Off the Boat” renewal conflicted with another project she was “really passionate about.
