She deserved most of the backlash she got for those posts. The fact that she couldn't handle that backlash is not the fault of others.

really dude so you were cool almost committing suicide you are part of the problem no one deserves to be driven to point of suicide you are part of the problem
Her mental deficiencies are none of my business. She said something foolish, with predictable reactions, received that reaction and acted aloof about it. Turns out people don't like divas in any form.
share>Turns out people don't like divas in any form.
how was she acting like a Diva have an ounce a pity your tough guy persona should stay in the 80's you lack empathy and humanity
shut up. you never got the backlash you deserved from your parents to turn you into a human being, I reckon.
share"Crazy Rich Asians" was a horrible pandering movie. I've never seen "Fresh Off the Boat" but it sounds like landmark tv, the first American sitcom to feature an Asian family.
I can understand her regret that her commitment to the tv show stood in the way of advancing her film career.
But what self-entitled twat threatens suicide over it?

really dude just because she is a celebrity doesn't mean she doesn't suffer mental problems like we do really dude she is not self entitled your the one being elitist obtuse asshole
Nah, it sounds like diva was gonna kill herself because she had to honor her contract with "Fresh Off the Boat". Yes, there's some mental illness at play obviously. Oh I'm too good for you now and if I can't move on I'll kill myself.
Frankly if I was a producer I would never hire this emotional basket case again.
You are a producer ... of toxic bullcrap.
shareIf she suffers from mental issues then she could afford a good doctor. Moaning and hoping that dozens of people should lose their jobs so she could try and have a movie career after a moderate hit movie is not a good look and shows she's a very selfish person.
She was a bit player prior to Fresh Off the Boat, and as soon as she got a whiff of success she wanted off to pursue her own endeavors rather than simply working other projects around her tv schedule like so many have done in the past.
Yeah it reminds me of Will Smith working around Fresh Prince, and Michael J. Fox working around Family Ties.
Being dedicated to small projects while taking larger projects on the side goes a long way in public relations, because the public sees that individual as a hard-working go-getter who is committed and reliable. That goes both ways for the public and for those in the business looking for someone reliable to bank on.
Guys like Mickey Rourke and Colin Farrell are great examples of guys who had immense talent and the world handed to them on a silver platter after breaking into the business and then throwing it all away by becoming self-consumed in debauchery. Their unreliability cost them a lot of roles they should have had earlier in their careers. Seems like Wu is heading in the same direction taking a slightly different path.

Men and Women comparsion is misogynistic not comparable dude your flexing our Male dominance in a bad way
that's a good righty ... attack something you know nothing about because of its possible racial associations. what a great member of the MovieChat community
shareHuh? I only know what I read in the article. And what the fuck does race have to do with it? It's more about self entitlement and an irresponsible work ethic.
share> I only know what I read in the article.
Yeah sure ... it's all fake news when its something you don't like,
but you're willing to spew out racial hate when it pressed your racist buttons.
Lol. I never said anything about race or fake news. I just think she's irresponsible. And she should never take on another job until she gets some serious treatment for her mental illness. I won't hire her.
shareasian racism has been on the rise since Covid-19 Was used as scapegoat for it origins in China stop asian hate
shareShe wasn't going to off herself to get away from her contract, dumbass
shareThat's what she said:
"I was afraid of coming back on social media because I almost lost my life from it: 3 years ago, when I made careless tweets about the renewal of my TV show, it ignited outrage and internet shaming that got pretty severe,” Wu writes in a statement.share
I agree with you. These other dudes just have sticks up their ass and some odd "no fault" attitude when it comes to women and minorities - in the name of some form of progressivism, that is actually more destructive than they realize.
share"Crazy Rich Asians" was a fun movie, at least for people who don't dismiss all stories about non-whites as "pandering".
Why, I ask, is it a good thing when the movies pander to you by casting white actors, and a bad thing when they pander to Asians by casting Asians?
I just didn't like the movie, just like I don't like silly rom coms, white black or indifferent, unless they're really clever. This one wasn't.
shareThen why call the movie "pandering"?
Which is of course a douchebro code word for "it wasn't made for me, so I object to it being made".
It pandered because it was promoted as if it was some landmark advance for Asian equality. It wasn't. It was a silly airheaded rom com. I would much rather watch Park Chan-wook's "Oldboy". That's where my tastes lie.
I find movies like "Crazy Rich Asians" and self-entitled actresses like Constance Wu to be insufferable bores. Nothing racist about that.
It actually was a bit of a cultural landmark, a Hollywood movie that was strictly about Asian people, not about a white guy having adventures in Asia or romancing an Asian girls. This was about Asians romancing other Asians, dealing with Asian-American and Asian-Asian issues, presented as if the characters mattered in their own right, and didn't just matter to a white person. That was the change, most Hollywood movies about other peoples and nations have a white "entry character", who's there because for the last hundred years or more, Holllywood didn't believe that white audiences could possibly empathize with a non-white character.
And then, Hollywood realized that most of the world's movie viewers aren't white...
So I won't insist that you like romcoms in general, but you're wrong about the movie having no cultural importance. And it's also a good romcom, if you like romcoms.
I think it really goes to the size of the minority and length of time there has been an established immigrant community in the U.S. There are plenty of all black and all Latino films and tv shows. Asians finally have enough of a base to demand representation. It's not like there's some bias against Asians which is worse than any prejudice against other people of color.
I saw "Crazy Rich Asians" as more of the same falderal targeted at upper class elites. I'd rather watch a rom com about immigrant Chinese textile workers, quite frankly.
Actually, "CRA" was targeted at middle-class viewers who may have thought about marrying or lucking into the upper-class elite. That and the book were a satirical look at the upper-class, written from a middle-class perspective.
And none of this goes to the size of the minority in the US, the Hollywood film industry no longer things only about the US or North American when making their big films, they've finally realized how much of their income comes from Asia. So they're slowly and clumsily trying to appeal more to those audiences, mostly with horrible missteps like "The Great Wall", another white-guy-in-Asia movie. But if the fanboys expect Hollywood to go back to putting them first and foremost, I invite them to look up world population statistics. Do you realize that white men are only 3-4% of the world's population?
Here's a list of the highest grossing films in 2022:
Top Gun? Maverick? Batman? Thor? Elvis? 🤣
Sorry, Hollywood is not pandering to Bollywood or the People's Republic of China.
I see no Indian or Chinese films on this list.
The world has always loved America cinema.
I myself generally don't watch American films. I'm a snob who reads subtitles. 🤣 But the world loves vacuous American movies.
You're completely off base.

Did you check to see whether that site lists revenues from Chinese and Indian films?
And even if they do, which I will not take on faith, that doesn't change the fact that Hollywood wants to sell their product to the Indians and the chinese. Billions and billions of tickets and streaming rentals.
Huh? I posted the stats. What are you taking on faith? That non-Americans won't watch American films because they don't like white people? Show me the money, please, like I've shown you.
If you look at the link it shows worldwide, domestic (U.S.) and foreign totals.
The highest grossing Indian film in 2022 is "The Kashmir Files" at 43 million box office. It didn't make the top 12 list, sorry.

Asians like American films.
Saudi Arabia produces oil. Germany produces beer. Hollywood make movies!
Classic textbook narcissism. For a person as notoriously rude and self-centered as she, a teensy bit of backlash on social media is enough to make her attempt suicide, apparently. 😄😄😄
This is not normal human behavior, this is the behavior of someone so self-absorbed and conceited to the point that any tiny bit of rejection is enough to make them try to kill themselves. Her narcissism and inability to deal with any sort of backlash is the real problem here, not the people on Twitter.
I'm not even entirely convinced she's telling the truth, to be honest. For all we know, it's just a made-up ploy to garner sympathy. Either way, she's a piece of shit.

Instead of admitting handling it badly, she digs deeper and seriously claims "you all misunderstood!"
And then she's surprised people call her out for it.
What a dumb cunt.
PS: People do not commit suicide because of "mean tweets". People commit suicide because other things in life are going horribly wrong for a long time.
I saw the movie, it was OK. Never saw the show. Her memoir is out now, I am glad she got help, and is speaking out about being disrespected by the producer.
shareThis is what happens when delicate people make social media the focal point of their lives. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
