The renewal prohibited her from all the new opportunities that were coming on her way back then.

"I was unsafe at that point. I was in a mental place of just beating myself. And so much shame. And just feeling like — feeling like I didn't deserve to live. Feeling like the world hated me. Feeling like I ruined everything for everyone. Maybe I did for some people but, you know, you make mistakes. Right?"

In the memoir, she alleged that the producer harassed her and exhibited controlling behaviour on the set of the show's first season in 2015.

“‘Fresh Off the Boat’ was my first-ever TV show,” Wu told The New York Times. via Variety. “I was thrown into this world. I don’t have parents in the industry. And because I was 30, people thought I knew what I was doing. It made me paranoid and embarrassed.”
