While social media was filled with other actors expressing delight that their programmes had earned extra time on air, Crazy Rich Asians star Wu struck a distinctly different tone.
After news broke that Fresh Off The Boat, a comedy featuring a majority Asian cast, had earned a sixth season on US TV network ABC, Wu, who has starred on the show since 2015, tweeted: “So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. F***.”
The 37-year-old followed it by tweeting: “F****** hell.”
When a user congratulated her on Fresh Off The Boat’s renewal, describing it as “great news”, Wu replied: “No it’s not.”
However, Wu later cast doubt over what had sparked her anger, telling people to “stop assuming”.
Wu tweeted: “That was not a rampage, it was just how I normally talk. I say f*** a lot. I love the word.
“Y’all are making a lot of assumptions about what I was saying. And no, it’s not what it’s about. No it’s not..what this is all about. Stop assuming.”
Representatives for Wu have been contacted for comment.
