Wu claimed she at first viewed him as a friend and mentor, but she then became fearful about what would happen if she didn&#8217;t oblige. &#8220;&#8216;Fresh Off the Boat&#8217; was my first-ever TV show. I was thrown into this world,&#8221; Wu told The New York Times.

It made me paranoid and embarrassed.&#8221; In 2015, the production team member touched Wu&#8217;s thigh at a sporting event and later grazed her crotch area. A later argument during Season 2 of &#8220;Fresh Off the Boat,&#8221; which ran from 2015 to 2020, led to Wu cutting ties with the production team member in question; the argument was over whether or not she would accompany him to a film festival.

I try to make myself out to be a pretty normal person who has flaws like everybody else. I'm not really into the actor memoir where it's like, 'I overcame the odds, and I'm this person who was humble and just kept working. I was the victim.' It's less black and white than simply victim and perpetrator.&#8221; Wu addressed racism in Hollywood, as well as being told she was a &#8220;disgrace to Asian Americans&#8221; and a &#8220;blight&#8221; on the community.

I think the Asian community in Hollywood is still hyper-focused on positive representation, which to me is an illusion. Whole, human representation is more complex. And I think it's interesting to me how, at that time, when I most could have used their help, they were the people who shamed me.&#8221; Wu currently stars in "The Terminal List" and the upcoming film "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile." She also stars in "East Bay," writer/director Daniel Yoon's portrait of the son of Asian immigrants living in the Bay Area and undergoing a coming-of-age crisis.
