Constance Wu Tweet Reaction Left Her Feeling Betrayed
However, Wu later clarified that her tweets were a response to several issues. Earlier this year, Wu said a producer on the show had sexually assaulted her, leading to her wanting to leave. She also gave up an exciting role she was “really passionate about” to continue filming the TV show. Additionally, the Constance Wu tweet reaction caused the star’s mental health to worsen. She attempted suicide after another Chinese actress told Wu she was “a blight on the Chinese American community.”

Thankfully, one of Wu’s friends saved her from this suicide attempt, and she later entered psychotherapy. As such, it is no surprise that the actress was not keen to talk about the Constance Wu tweet controversy soon after it happened. When invited to the Character Media’s Unforgettable Gala, she was initially hesitant to go. According to Wu,
“…sitting there alone, trying not to cry in a public setting, and the whole audience was like, ‘Oh, sh*t!’ They had promised they wouldn’t mock me, and they did it right off the bat. It almost felt like they were setting me up for it. And it truly felt like a betrayal from the Asian American community. A couple months prior to that, I was in the emergency room.”
However, Wu also clarified that Liu spoke to her later about the Constance Wu tweet jokes. He apologized to Liu for the hurt he caused. According to Wu, ” did the right thing, and he apologized, and it was a sincere apology.”

Wu is set to star as Daphne in the Scooby-Doo spinoff show Velma. Additionally, Wu released a memoir earlier this month titled Making a Scene, which was a critical success.
