Constance Wu says she attempted suicide after social media backlash
"I was afraid of coming back on social media because I almost lost my life from it," the Fresh Off The Boat star revealed

It’s been four years since Crazy Rich Asians elevated Constance Wu—already the star of Fresh Off The Boat, a highly successful sitcom on ABC—into the realms of movie-stardom. But that’s also been a period that’s been paradoxically quiet for the actor, who only recently returned to regular acting with a starring role in Amazon’s The Terminal List.
Now, Wu has opened up about retreating from both Hollywood and social media—and, more shockingly, revealed that she attempted to take her own life three years ago, in the midst of controversy about tweets she made about Fresh Off The Boat getting renewed for a new season.
“It ignited outrage and internet shaming that got pretty severe,” Wu writes, referring to an incident in 2019 in which she greeted news that Fresh would be getting a sixth season renewal with a number of comments that suggested she was unhappy about the news.
