Constance Wu is opening up about the vitriol she endured following the 2019 renewal of her sitcom 'Fresh Off the Boat', claiming she considered suicide during the reaction.“Hi everybody. I haven’t been on social media in almost 3 years. Tbh, I’m a little scared, but I’m dipping my toe back in to say I’m here and while I was gone I wrote a book called Making a Scene,” the 'Crazy Rich Asians' actress said in a long message released on Twitter on Thursday, July 14. All of her previous posts on her account seemed to have been removed. Wu explained to her followers that her online experience was "hard to talk about", which is why she was afraid to return to the platform.
