'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.
In May 2019, Wu shared a series of tweets complaining about ABC picking up her hit TV show “Fresh Off the Boat” for a sixth season. After many accused her of being ungrateful for the series that boosted her career and made major strides for Asian American representation on the small screen, Wuand explained that she was “temporarily upset” because she had to give up another project she was “really passionate about.
“It was a scary moment that made me reassess a lot in my life,” Wu continued on Thursday. “For the next few years, I put my career aside to focus on my mental health. AsAms don’t talk about mental health enough. While we’re quick to celebrate representation wins, there’s a lot of avoidance around the more uncomfortable issues within our community.was the time to avoid me or ice me out.
Since the “Fresh Off the Boat” controversy, Wu has remained relatively quiet on the internet aside from the occasional promotional appearance. Before sharing her latest update, she had wiped all of her social media channels completely. Her bio on Instagram is now simply a link to the Simon & Schuster summary of her book, which comes out Oct. 4.
