“[We’re] either seen as the model minority or as the help — somebody who doesn't matter and is a second-class citizen,” the show's creator said.
Jan. 31, 2022, 10:22 PM UTCÉlodie Yung, star of the TV show “The Cleaning Lady,” said it’s a role that feels close to home for her.
“The Cleaning Lady” was created by Miranda Kwok and is the first primetime drama on Fox to be created by, produced by and starring an Asian woman. It follows Thony De La Rosa, who lives in Las Vegas. She stumbles onto the crime world when she is hired to be a cleaner for the mob. She can’t say no because she is undocumented, and she needs the money to care for her son, who has a life-threatening autoimmune disease.
“[We’re] either seen as the model minority or as the help — somebody who doesn’t matter and is a second-class citizen,” Kwok said. “There’s a lot of stereotypes around Asian Americans and around immigrants, and around Asian immigrants.” Thony’s backstory in the show also matches Yung’s: The character’s father was a doctor in Cambodia, who died during the Khmer Rouge.
