The Crazy Rich Asians star is opening up about her “traumatic” time on the family sitcom.
“I eventually realized it was important to talk about because I did have a pretty traumatic experience my first couple years on the show and nobody knew about it,” Wu toldstaff writer Shirley Li at the festival. She added that her decision to speak out about her experiences on the show did not come easy and that she was “pretty resistant” to writing about what happened, which is what the book’s final essay, “You Do What I Say,” is about.
When the show first began, the producer was particularly controlling over Wu, demanding that he have a say in both her business matters and wardrobe choices. In 2015, at a sporting event, he allegedly put his hand on Wu’s thigh and grazed Wu’s crotch, an incident she brushed off at the time. Eventually, during’s second season, Wu felt more empowered to stand up against the producer, and the two stopped talking after she refused to attend a film festival with him.
The family sitcom, which aired on ABC in 2015 and continued for five seasons, launched Wu into stardom in the role of “tiger mom” Jessica Huang, with the show itself making waves for Asian American representation. But it was precisely the fear of jeopardizing the show’s historic reputation that kept Wu from speaking out against the producer for so long.
