Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu opens up on mental health following acting break
"Three years ago, when I made careless tweets about the renewal of my TV show, it ignited outrage and internet shaming that got pretty severe," she continued."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.
"Looking back, it's surreal that a few DMs convinced me to end my own life, but that's what happened." She then revealed that she took time away from filming to focus on herself and explained why she chose to open up about the experience in her book, to help generate conversation and support within the Asian American community.
"It was a scary moment that made me reassess a lot in my life. For the next few years, I put my career aside to focus on my mental health. Asian Americans don't talk about mental health enough. While we're quick to celebrate representation wins, there's a lot of avoidance around the more uncomfortable issues within our community.
