Constance Wu
Constance Wu (born March 22, 1982) is an American actress born in the state of Virginia on the east coast of the USA. She has a Taiwanese mother and father, and her parents emigrated to America. Wu is best known for her roles in the ABC comedy series Fresh Off the Boat and the hit movie Crazy Rich Asians.
Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians was a wildly successful movie about Asians living the billionaire lifestyle in Singapore. Constance Wu played the character of Rachel Chu from New York, one of the Asian Americans in the film.
This runaway Hollywood hit upset the status quo in Tinsel town, but in a good way. The success of the movie is a page right out of a fairytale, just like the movie's story. Crazy Rich Asians has so many memorable scenes, which is a nice comment on the talents of the writer not to make a diva out of Rachel Chu.

Controversy in the Asian-American community
When Fresh Off the Boat was renewed for its 6th and final season in 2019, Constance Wu made the decision to write a tweet (Twitter) about the show's renewal. Wu said she was literally crying about it, but not tears of joy. Wu said that she had been experiencing sexual harassment from one of the show's producers, and things had reached a boiling point.
Wu's decision to come forward with her sexual harassment claims was met with big feelings on both sides of the aisle. Many women supported her, but some ultimately chose not to support Wu saying she was ungrateful.
We've all heard the stories of how difficult it is to be a girl in Hollywood, and it can be difficult to talk about it, even during the Me-Too Movement. Being an actress in the public eye has its own pressures and the well-being of one's own story can be difficult to talk about.

Wu's life and Jessica Huang

The memoir Making a Scene
In October of 2022, Wu decided to set the record straight and released her memoir titled Making a Scene, which debuted just one month after her high-profile interview with the New York Times.
The book is an honest account about Wu's story in her own words with her own voice. While everybody won't agree with her, the world now knows about the truth of what happened.
Wu has chosen not to hide from the abuse she experienced. And to her credit, it's not easy to embrace a painful experience as a mom with a child.

Constance Wu net worth
What is Constance Wu's level of wealth? According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Crazy Rich Asians actress has a whopping six million dollars in the bank. If you're wondering what "net worth" actually means, it's the actual cash value of a person after subtracting all debt.
Since Wu has over one-million dollars in net worth, that puts her in the "high net worth" category (ultra-high net worth is over $30 million in assets). Wu is far shy of the billion-dollar status led in the movie, but it's nothing to scoff at when you realize the average American makes less than $50,000 a year.

How could I be a personal assistant to Constance Wu?

Many celebrities hire a childhood friend to be their personal assistant, but that's not always the case. At the moment, it's not clear if Wu has an assistant working for her. Considering how busy she has been as an actress, we suppose that she will hire a personal assistant when she's ready.
When Wu played Laudine Lee on One Life to Live, she wasn't as busy of an actress as she is now. But now that her career has taken off, a person of her stature will usually hire an assistant so they have someone to confide in.
In fact, when Wu worked with fellow cast member Kris Aquino (Princess Intan) on Crazy Rich Asians, Aquino was living the real-life rich and celebrity lifestyle because she had her own entourage of assistants with her on the set.
Also, in a recent interview with AFI, director Jon M. Chu's assistant on Crazy Rich Asians shares stories as well.
