Was It Really That Bad?
In a word, yes! On Saturday, Constance Wu tweeted, “So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. F-.” She followed it up with additional tweets that contain so many curse words we can’t repeat them here. And she also responded with “Dislike” to the official announcement that her show had been renewed.
Most people are happy when they still have a job, especially in the entertainment industry. But Wu later clarified (read: did damage control) that she was just disappointed because she wouldn’t have time to work on another film project.
Her apology only made things worse. She repeatedly described working on Fresh Off the Boat as “easy,” which is just a wee bit condescending. She said that she wanted “artistic challenge over comfort and ease.”
