Constance Wu Walks Back Negative Response to ‘Fresh off the Boat’ Series Renewal
Written by SOURCE on May 11, 2019
It’s been a rough day for Constance Wu.
The Crazy Rich Asians star raised eyebrows Friday night with a series of profanity-laced tweets:
Though Wu didn’t reveal the source of her frustration, the messages were posted shortly after her sitcom Fresh off the Boat was renewed for season 6—an announcement Wu wasn’t too pleased about.
“Congrats on your renewal! Great news,” one fan commented.
“No it’s not,” she quickly replied a since-deleted tweet.
The 37-year-old actress also took to Fresh Off the Boat’s official Instagram to express her displease, simply commenting “Dislike” on the show’s season 6 announcement.
After fans began expressing their support with the hashtag #FreeConstanceWu, the actress returned to Twitter in an attempt to clarify her statements. Wu told her followers to “stop assuming,” and suggested her tweets were not related to Fresh Off the Boat.
Wu will star in the upcoming crime comedy Hustlers, alongside Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, and Julia Stiles. She is also expected to reprise her role as Rachel Chu in the Crazy Rich Asians sequel.
