Constance Wu Attempted Suicide After ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ Tweet Backlash
14.07.2022 - 23:31 / variety.com
Zack Sharf Constance Wu returned to Twitter for the first time in nearly three years to announce her new book, “Making a Scene,” and to reveal she attempted suicide following the backlash that erupted against her in 2019. Social media was outraged at Wu after she expressed frustration over her ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” being renewed.“I was afraid of coming back on social media because I almost lost my life from it: 3 years ago, when I made careless tweets about the renewal of my TV show, it ignited outrage and internet shaming that got pretty severe,” Wu writes in a statement.
“I felt awful about what I’d said, and 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. That I was a disgrace to AsAms, and they’d be better off without me.
Looking back, it’s surreal that a few DMs convinced me to end my own life, but that’s what happened. Luckily, a friend found me and rushed me to the ER.” Back in 2019, Wu reacted with frustration over the news that her ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” had been renewed for another season.
The actor tweeted at the time: “So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh.
F—-” and “F—ing hell.” When a user congratulated her on the renewal, calling it “Great news,” Wu commented back: “No it’s not.”Wu went on to clarify her comments, saying she was upset in the moment because the “Fresh Off the Boat” renewal meant she’d have to turn down a passion project. She noted her television role had become “easy and pleasant,” and she was looking for further challenges, which she felt the new project would have provided.“It was a scary moment that made me reassess a lot in my life,” Wu
