This story also includes descriptions of rape and sexual assault.shows a side of herself the public hasn’t seen, one different from her groundbreaking roles in the romance drama “Crazy Rich Asians” or sitcom “Fresh Off The Boat.
“I'm very grateful for it because it was a healing in a way for me to look back on mistakes and events in my life with curiosity and empathy rather than my old patterns of judgment and shame,” Wu says, “which is a lot of what the internet does to public figures.” What people didn’t realize, Wu says, was the sexual harassment and abuse she suffered at the hands of an Asian-American producer on the show.
Although “Fresh Off the Boat” garnered acclaim throughout its six-season run, it also attracted some accusations of stereotyping. Wu disagrees. Stereotypes are harmful when they’re reductive, she says, but they do exist. By refusing to play these stereotypes, Wu says she worries it reinforces the idea that some of those attributes, like having an Asian accent, are inherently shameful.
