Constance Wu says she 'almost lost her life' following backlash from 'Fresh Off the Boat' Twitter controversy
"Constance Wu is speaking out about her mental health crisis following her 2019 Fresh Off the Boat Twitter controversy.
The Crazy Rich Asians actress took to Twitter on Thursday to share her first social media post in almost three years.
Her break followed a series of frustrated tweets, which she shared in reaction to the renewal of her ABC sitcom, Fresh Off the Boat. At the time, Wu wrote of the then on-the-bubble show’s renewal, “So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh.” Following backlash from her tweets, she explained, “I was temporarily upset yesterday not bc I hate the show but bc its renewal meant i had to give up another project that I was really passionate about.”
In her Thursday post, Wu said she was “scared” to return to social media, but was doing so to promote her upcoming book Making a Scene. She also shared that the backlash led her to attempt to end her life."
