She got canceled because she expressed what she thought and felt about the renewal of that series? Geez, people are insane. I'm having a hard time understanding where the issue lies there. You go, Constance! You're a blessing, not just in AsAm community, but all Asian communities in general.

I don't think people understand how powerful SHAME is in some societies, especially Asian and Eastern cultures. We are conditioned to believe our worth is defined by how honorable we are in the eyes of our families and communities, and if we do anything that they don't approve of, we are shamed, we are threatened with being shamed or bringing shame to our people. And it can in fact drive someone to suicide or to consider it. Just because there is no physical harm or threat to someone, or their problem is not medically diagnosed as mental illness and they're not directly being mentally and emotionally abused by someone, does not mean that what they are going through is not serious. People who grew up in more free western cultures don't understand this. Update: Wow, I just saw all the likes and comments from two weeks ago and I’m so glad if this comment makes you feel heard, and if it could in a small way help anyone overcome this illusion of shame that we were conditioned into. I also feel so heard myself from all your reactions and comments, I did not expect that, although I know many people go through that. I have myself had to internalize and process this since 2010 when i went through something, which would seem simple and manageable to people outside my middle eastern culture (and generally for people in the west), but for me it caused me so much mental and emotional pain that was suppressed, that I developed eczema rashes for about six years afterwards, and that’s when i realized the power of shame. Now I see that the thing that I felt shame about is actually not something to be ashamed of, so much that you might be really shocked if you knew what it was, and it didn’t even have to do with anything that might be considered promiscuous or sexually rebellious, not even close. But it is blown out of proportion by many people in my community and the society where I grew up. It took me years to heal and to get rid of feelings of shame, and realize it was all put into my head by other people, that it was passed down through generations. Because once i reached a point where this pain was crippling me, causing me depression and anxiety, I almost snapped and that’s when i decided ENOUGH, other people’s opinions of me are not worth this pain. That pain gave me perspective at the same time, and it sounds strange but it was what allowed me to overcome insecurities and shame that i realized i had, not just since 2010, but way before that while growing up. What also helped me was to take care of my health and diet and learning to say no and not suppress my feelings. While I was healing and starting to feel better about myself, I found a book titled “When the Body Says No” by Gabor Mate and it really resonated with my experience. Edit: I also want to add that I agree with someone else’s comment - that western culture has its problems and downsides, and asian/eastern cultures have a lot of positive things, such as in my case, my family will band together to support my professional and creative goals for example. And also that this can happen everywhere and that it is mainly certain fractions of society. For example, not all the other people my age who i went to school with and who grew up in the same country and society went through this conditioning into shame, because their families, extended families, and social circles around them were different. At that point in 2010 when I went through that situation, the brainwashing was mainly coming from certain individuals on my mom’s side of the family, and because they had so much influence over my mom, it affected our life, and she also had to suffer from their comments, over many years prior to 2010. But i know that she couldn’t be supportive of me because she was trying to do her best with what she knew and how she was herself conditioned, because although she and i disagree on certain things and she’s much more conservative than my generation, she was always still ahead of her family. Thank you all and much love ❤️🙏

i hate social media so much Shes such a sweetheart and shes the reason i even watched fresh off the boat

“I was canceled for not being the Asian people wanted me to be.” I feel this deeply. It’s a shame that we shame one another for not being “enough”, as if any of us could quantify what that looks like. The crab mentality has got to go. 🙏🏽

Man, people make mistakes. This is why social media is toxic. There's no room for mistakes.

The gang mentality of human nature is shocking. I feel for her. Wow

Read her book and the bullying and sexual harassment was god awful, not to mention being raped and not feeling like you could a knowledge it, let alone report it. Beautiful girl, don’t ever stop “making a scene” ❤

Literally had no idea people were canceling her. She's always been good from what I understood!

i didn’t realize this happened to her. i hope she gets better.

She is so sweet. I can’t believe she went through this. Social media is so toxic. Cancel culture is so stupid

This is such a raw, genuine conversation. I cried with her. Thank you for not leaving this world, Constance. You have so much more life and love to give.

I am so proud of her for being vulnerable and honest about the struggles that she experienced. I am so sorry that this happened to her. This really explains why we don't have Crazy Rich Asians 2 yet. I hate this happened to her, but I am thankful she had a good friend who helped her get professional help.

I didn’t know she was going through this. I love her as a actress and a person. I hope she gets justice. ❤

I wish Constance Wu all the best. I'm glad she had the chance to tell her own story. Storytelling is a great and effective way to heal and help others who go through the same struggles feel noticed, heard, recognized, acknowledged, and not alone.

How can people be so mean. She is not just an amazing actress but she is also a normal person with emotions and feelings. The fact that one of the producers tried to sexually harass her is just shocking! I hope that Constance sees that she has so many fans and followers. I am Scottish but my mothers family are greek descent so not Asian but I believe in kindness towards others. I am so glad she did not do the unthinkable. The world would be so much smaller without her! I have been dealing with PTSD for more than 15 years and ive thought about ending my life but I am so greatful for having some really amazing people around me! LOVE YOU CONSTANCE WU 💚❤

I've always loved her! This made me cry. So glad she got helped and speaks up now. You go Chica!

My heart broke when I heard Constance's story. Stand strong, Constance. We got you. 🙏🏾

I can understand her relief at leaving FOB because she was sexual harassed there. There is so much cruelty in the words "nobody wanted you, I'm the one who got you this" from a person in power and control of your livelihood. It is so sad that she could not feel safe at a place that meant so much to her and her career. Stay strong! You are loved

Dang, that was super raw! Thank you Constance for being so vulnerable. Took a lot of courage. Being Asian-American myself, I am pretty aware of how harsh our "own" can be, a little too harsh if you ask me. Glad to see you are finding peace. I'm gonna go buy your book! :)

Poor Constance. She’s such a strong woman. I’ve loved her since I saw her in crazy rich Asians and wondered why I hadn’t seen her since. She’s such a good actress and I hope things continue to get better for her here on out.

Something she said reminds me of "shame talk." She said the man who harassed her does so much for the Asian community and SHE didn't want to bring shame on the community by turning him in. The truth is that HE is bringing shame on the community and covering it with his "good works." She is so brave and courageous to share her story and I am so proud of her! But no matter how much good HE does, he will always be a blight on the Asian community.

Wtf… I had no idea that she was going through all this. I feel her pain and frustration. As an Asian American woman I can completely understand and believe that a large part of the Asian community has shamed and shunned her for speaking her mind. She didn’t even tweet anything bad!!! She just wanted to express her down moment like any other effing human. As a female Asian American I felt like I was raised to fit into this mold to be obedient and please my elders no matter what. You are not allowed to speak back and whatever the elder says is final. It’s gross and creates unhealthy individuals and relationships. Time to stand up and speak up against it. That actress that DMed her has HUGE issues and she needs major help. I can’t believe she said all those things to her.

I'm so glad she spoke out and pray she recovers incredibly well from this! The people who put you in a box and put pressure of broken social constructs on you are wrong and always will be.

“We’re all so much more than our…Tweets.” So many people on the Internet need to hear this. Constance Wu is a great person, I hope she’s feeling better.

This is so sad. I watched Fresh off the boat growing up and loved it soo much. As an African American immigrant, that show resonated more with me than blackish. Constance feels like a mother to me, which is crazy cuz I didn’t realize she was so young. It’s so upsetting to see that she went though those struggles behind the scenes and in real life. She’s an amazing actress and human being and I hope her life gets better now that she’s gotten the bravery to speak up and seek help.

This girl needs to be listened to. Everyone has pain. Why are people so mean to people online. Little do they realise or care the effects it had on this girl.

Oh gosh- I am just hearing about this. I’m so sorry Constance! We love you. My wife (Asian American) and I loved FOTB and CRA and were always looking for more of you! Stay strong!

Thanks for sharing! It's crazy what goes behind the scene. We stand with you Constance!

She literally worked her way up and she’s really a nice person. I hope she makes a comeback

She doesn't owe anyone anything... I'm glad she's still here to tell her story, I'll be reading her book!

Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry that you went through all of that Constance! You have such an amazing talent and I loved you in Crazy Rich Asians. You did such an amazing job in the portrayal of a strong yet genuinely empathetic girl. I thought what beautiful expressive and kind eyes you have! I hope that you can realise what an extraordinary human you are and as I have learnt with my own girls struggles, sadly, jealousy and envy are often behind cruel and unjust criticism! You have a light within you girl and don’t let anyone try to extinguish it! Especially not you! Huge comforting and reassuring Hugs sweetie! xx

It’s sad to hear she went through all this. I love her movie and drama. Hope she recover from the sadness.

I really want to know who sexually harassed her. She's probably not the only one. It will continue until that person is addressed. I hope she continues to thrive in her career and have truly supportive friends and family around her. Bless you, Ms. Wu.

I believe her. I hope she gets the justice she needs. She has opened the door for so many people and has changed so many lives.

i didn’t even know this happened. you can tell her tears are genuine. you can’t replicate it.

She is just so stunning, radiant and talented. Pretty much my favorite actress. Sending love to her.

Oh my goodness I had no idea this was happening. So grateful she has the courage to share her story. So important and comforting. ❤

in the asian culture, honour respect and grace is taken very highly. so when she was called a disgrace i felt that. i feel so bad because she didn’t deserve any of the negativity for just voicing out her opinions. i’m glad she’s doing better and hopes she gets all the happiness she deserves. this world is just cruel and toxic.

I am so sorry for all you have been through! You're a great actress, thank you for all of your work.

Thank you for being so brave in sharing your story and I’m sure you will be a great and loving mum. Good luck for all your future projects! ❤

I am so proud of Constance and her bravery for living, seeking help, speaking out about topics that are so challenging and personal....but affect so many.

I didn't know she's been through so much:( She is so brave to share her story.

Actually, I join all other Asian Americans who regard her as a national treasure and want to do whatever we can to protect and honor her. She is not only honest and sincere, she is very brave.

I experienced this recently as well because of bullying from a fellow Asian-American at my workplace. The comments from multiple people on social media (but especially this person) also sent me careening to the edge. It’s not anywhere as bad as what Constance went through, with her visibility and the public appetite for negativity. We need to do better.

I was sexually harassed for three months, I was ultimately diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. I finally reached out for help after suffering in silence, with countless mental breakdowns. There is hope, I am so glad that she got help!

Many persons suffer so much in silence. I appreciate her for speaking out. Never never never ground your value, your worth, your reason for living in culture, job, others etc......love yourself even if no-one stands or sits beside you.

Thank you for telling your story.

Omg. I had no idea that any of this had even happened. I am so sorry, Constance. Whoever said that to you is so ignorant and rude and they are unforgivable in my book. I’m shocked. I’m not Asian, but I’ve always admired you and your work. I hate that you were made to feel this way. Gosh, I don’t even know what to say. You are so lovely and brilliant and you are loved. I’m so glad that you are here. The world is a better place because you are here, and because you’ve realized your calling, and because you are speaking out and sharing your heart with us. I promise you that many, many people feel the same way that I do. Please don’t ever become discouraged. Or please remember these words if you do. You did not do or say anything wrong.♥️♥️♥️

I’m just so glad she’s doing better. She is one of my favorite actresses. Her tweets use to make me laugh so hard before I left Twitter. I use to get so excited and cheer on whenever she clap back at people and call things out. That producer is so wrong for what he did. And I hope she knows that what he said isn’t true, she did not get that role because of him. She got that role because she’s an incredible actress and deserved it. That character could not be played by anyone else but her. She is the reason that show was successful not that toxic abusive producer. Without her I can’t imagine that show being as successful as it was. Period. Jessica the character is what made it entertaining, good and relatable, and that was all Constance Wu. I watched for Constance and millions of people watched to see Constance act as the character Jessica. That producer is an abuser, and what abusers do is make you feel small, not talented, and not capable of anything, but clearly it was all about his insecurities because she’s more talented than he could ever be. He tried to take her power by making her feel small because he didn’t want her to know she was more powerful than him.

This poor girl. God bless her! May she find healing and strength. I hate social media. I hate that strangers can affect people to that point.

Constance, your life is so precious!! I’m so glad you’re still here with us. You matter!! I wasn’t hurt by your tweet (I’m Asian American). You shared your own feelings and opinions. You are absolutely entitled to that!

Omg this made me cry 😢. I didn’t know she was going through this. People are ridiculous if they spend their free time bullying and harassing other people. I hope she finds healing.

This is why you should never ever be quick to judge. You don't know what people are going through. A tweet or post or whatever re. something that comes off as "distasteful" could have a valid backstory. We don't know what others' stories are. She was terrified to go back to work because she was being sexually harassed. What a horrible experience already and when she expressed not wanting to go back to the show, nobody even considered to ask her WHY.

So glad she spoke out and is still with us. Social Media has destroyed so many lives. Keep fighting Constance!

I’m glad she is speaking out with her story. I hope she names-drops one day. These haters need to be exposed so future actors/actresses won’t experience what she has experienced with them.

I can’t believe the hell she was put through! She’s a brilliant actress. What she tweeted did not deserve the extreme over-reaction. After living through sexual harassment, rape and clinical depression I am really grateful she is opening up about everything and helping countless people with her honesty and courage. Never give up. 💗🙏🏻👼🏻

Man there is major issues with with mental health in the Asian community that needs light and addressing.

If people could show compassion and not judge. The world would be so much better. I stand with her in this.

So brave, so honest, and so talented that we didn't even know any of this was happening while filming these hits. Thank you, Constance, for coming out and speaking about these issues, as they are omnipresent everywhere in our society. Those who have a platform like yours have the opportunity to talk about these issues and the progress they make from their journey. It helps EVERYONE by removing the stigmas and letting us know we're not alone during these very low times. Thank you for living.💚

WTF…why did people treat her so badly. We love her. It’s crazy the things we didn’t know. Her fans would have told her how much we love her.

I feel so bad for her. I’m not Asian but I know how much social pressure and anxiety lives within the community, I can’t even imagine how traumatic this must have been. To feel like your entire community hates you 😢 I just wanna give her a hug

Thank you for speaking about your experience. I hope you feel heard, understood. I believe we need calling in others, not calling out!

Such a beautiful human. Thank you for speaking up!! You make the world better.

You don't know what goes on behind close doors - had no idea Ms Wu was going through so much. I hope she's taking life one day at a time and she's going to be a beautiful and graceful mum ❤

I’m so blown away by her. She’s so strong and inspirational. I hope we continue to see her boom!

❤❤❤ a genuine interview

She’s so inspiring. I hope she feels better soon and she’s so strong ❤

I'm so so happy she spoke out about what she's been going through. I never would have known all this was happening to her. We love you, Constance Wu💗

Upsets me how much pain she went through. I’m so glad she’s better now and she’s still here to share her story

I hope she is doing good now. I'm sorry that she went through all that.

Some how I missed all this and it's heart breaking! I was wondering why I hadn't seen her in anything recently. I hope she's doing better I love her! ❤❤❤

I remember watching the cast of Crazy Rich Asians do a buzzfeed quiz. Everyone pointed out how quiet she was despite the rest of the cast laughing and talking. Everyone said that she was snooty especially after a TikTok video made by someone. And now seeing this it all makes sense why she was the way she was back then.

To those who aren't familiar, the concept of preventing "losing face" is a _huge_ deal in Asian countries, especially in China. People will go huge lengths to make sure their family or close friends aren't negatively impacted by their own actions, and this literally means supressing most personal opinions, wants, ideas, aspirations, etc. Losing face means your entire family will lose face too.

She’s brave and strong considering all she’s been through in life.

Looking forward to reading your book Constance. I think you're great, awesome and courageous.x

This is crazy, I didn’t even know she was gone. And this all happened. She’s amazing and I wish the best for her.

I feel her and I’m glad she got out of it and made it through! So happy she is still here to talk and express her feelings!

People are SO cruel. It's so easy to judge behind a laptop. NO ONE deserves that hate and harassment. My heart goes out to her. Praying she is getting justice.

You are so strong! I admire your kindness and honesty:)

I didn’t know she was going through all this. This breaks my heart. I hope things get better for her. Bullying is not ok. Don’t be shy, tell us who said these awful things to you. You are successful and making it. They can say all they want but know your worth. We are behind you ❤❤❤❤ I would love to see you do more movies and grow in your career. Thank you Constance

Dang. I’m so sorry this happened to her. I remember this tweet and shaking my head, but I didn’t think it was THAT big of a deal. We love you girl. Praying for you - that the you be restored.

Come back, Constance. We love you. You’re not alone. We see you❤

This is heartbreaking 💔,,, she's such a good actress ,has a great smile ,,so sad she went through this 😢

Thank you for having the courage to speak up! We support you!

Glad she’s sharing her story and that she’s better now. That’s heartbreaking to hear.

You are awesome! You have brought me so much joy over the years and everything you do you shine so bright don’t let anybody bring you down please! We all have bad days. Nobody’s perfect, but you’re pretty damn close! ❤

Holy Shysssnick. Like parallel except not in Hollywood here…teaching. I’m in the 3yr try to get help phase and writing book. Thank you for this. Thank you. ❤

She is brave for owning her story and sharing it. Looking forward to seeing her in more roles.

Damn i really feel for her imagine being cold shouldered, boycotted, and bullied because of one mistake or disagreeable comment that you made WOW . Then to go through being assaulted sexually is even more scary and disturbing 😳

Great interview glad Constance is doing better

Wow, I had no idea. I'm so glad she is still here with us. ❤

I love Constance. I have always supported her and admired her craft. I feel so sad for her that she had to go through all that. So relieved for her that she was able to get help, and now, to tell her story. Will always support her

That poor lady. I hope she can find healing and peace. She's so lovely, and she deserves to be able to live her best life like everyone else.

Damn she's strong. Keep going you are beautiful, talented and there's no other as you. You are special, keep shining 🤗♥️ from India.

I love her acting so much. Her comedic timing is so good

Goodness, it's so crazy how mean some people can be without realizing that they could be pushing someone over the edge. Constance Wu, you are brave and strong, your story will definitely help others who are also struggling.🖤

She is a fantastic and charismatic actress who has good camera presence. I feel sorry for her going through this as am a fan of her work. Kudos to her for remaining dignified and fighting on.Being cancelled by your own people, ethnicity and community to the point of depression is unforgivable and unforgettable. This is the point we need to elevate from our ethnicity and focus on humanism if we are "cancelled" and to be the example of strength and not being labeled and stereotyped by entertaining the negativities surrounding.

She’s so strong! Don’t give up Mama, you’re doing a GREAT job! ❤

That’s so sad 😞 and so brave to talk about her battles though and I pray for peace. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Being an Asian I am a big fan of the fresh off the boat series. I felt betrayed when I heard she hated the show. How could she hate a show that got her acting career started? The ungratefulness is what got me. But I didn't realize how much the criticism shattered her as a person. She definitely doesn't deserve being treated like that. You know, the asian community should stand up together rather than subjecting her as a scapegoat of the racism and discrimination on us.
