Crazy Rich Asians actor Constance Wu has opened up about many dark secrets about her life in her recently released memoir 'Making A Scene'&nbsp;in which the actress&nbsp;has talked about being sexually assaulted by a senior producer of her superhit sitcom 'Fresh Off The Boat', and a suicide attempt&nbsp;among many other bombshell revelations.&nbsp; 
 
Now, after the release of her memoir, Wu recently appeared on the famous Red Table talk show of Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, where she pulled some curtain back about the hatred she received after she tweeted how disappointed she was after the hit show 'Fresh Off the Boat' was renewed for the sixth and final season. 
 
''So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. F_k,” she tweeted in 2019.&nbsp; 
 
The renewal prohibited her from all the new opportunities that were coming on her way back then.&nbsp; 
 
Opening about the same on the show, Wu said, as per People, "After reading these DMs from an Asian actress, I just got in this state. Like my palms are still itching when I think about it." 
 
The 40-year-old actress added further, "A friend who had come to check on me pulled me over from climbing over the ledge and dragged me into the elevator and took me into a cab and took me to a psychiatric emergency room where they checked me in and I slept the night on a cot in the waiting room in the psychiatric E.R. in New York City under observation." 
 
"Then there were two counsellors the next morning who talked to me," she said. "I had to be in therapy with a psychiatrist and psychologist every day for a while." 
 
The actress also revealed how all the backlash affected her mental health deeply, talking further, the actress added, "It was helpful. I needed it," Wu admitted.

"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. &nbsp; 
 
“‘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.” 
 
She also revealed how the producer controlled her, such as “demanding selfies and that she should run all her business decisions by him.''

''I kept my mouth shut for a really long time about a lot of sexual harassment and intimidation that I received the first two seasons of the show. Because, after the first two seasons, once it was a success, once I was no longer scared of losing my job, that’s when I was able to start saying ‘no’ to the harassment, ‘no’ to the intimidation, from this particular producer.

"I loved everybody on that crew, and I loved working on that show, but it had that history of abuse, that it started with, and even though I handled it after two years, I was looking forward to a clean slate."

Constance Wu reveals she was sexually harassed by 'Fresh Off The Boat' producer

After taking a break of nearly three years, actress Constance Wu, who is popular for her role in 'Crazy Rich Asians', has returned to Twitter to announce her new book titled 'Making a Scene'. In her tweets, she also revealed that she attempted suicide after she faced online backlash in 2019 over her tweets on the ABC sitcom 'Fresh Off the Boat'.

Sharing a screengrab of a long note, the actress revealed that she was afraid of returning to social media platforms because she almost lost her life because of 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 wrote in her statement.

“I felt awful about what I’d said, and when a few DMs from a fellow Asian actress told me I’d become a blight on the Asian American community, I started feeling like I didn’t even deserve to live anymore. That I was a disgrace to AsAms, and they’d be better off without me. Looking back, it’s surreal that a few DMs convinced me to end my own life, but that’s what happened. Luckily, a friend found me and rushed me to the ER," she added.

The actress revealed that the scary moment made her reassess a lot of things in her life. She decided to put her career aside for a while and focus on her mental health. "Even my tweets became a subject so touchy that most of my AsAm colleagues decided that was the time to avoid me or ice me out. I’ll admit it hurt a lot, but it also made me realize how important it is to reach out and care for people who are going through a hard time,” she wrote.

Speaking of her new book, she shared that she wrote it to reach out and help people talk about the uncomfortable stuff in order to understand it, reckon it and open pathways to healing. &nbsp;

At the end of her statement, Wu wrote, “After a little break from Hollywood and a lot of therapy I feel OK enough to venture back on here (at least for a little bit). And even though I’m scared, I’ve decided that I owe it to the me-of-3-years-ago to be brave and share my story so that it might help someone with theirs.”

Back in 2019, Wu wrote some harsh tweets about her ABC sitcom 'Fresh Off the Boat'&nbsp;getting renewed for another season. At the time, Wu had shared that she is&nbsp;upset right and is literally crying over the news of her sitcom's renewal for another season.&nbsp;
