At the time, Wu - who starred as an Asian American mother in the series (right) - stated that she was 'so upset' it had been renewed, sparking a firestorm of backlash. The actress, who went on to achieve worldwide fame after starring in Crazy Rich Asians, says the hatred she faced drove her to the brink of suicide. In a new interview with Good Morning America, Wu spoke out about the backlash, saying that she was 'essentially canceled for coming off as ungrateful'. Wu released a new book today, Making a Scene, in which she says she was sexually harassed by an Asian American producer on the ABC show. She told GMA she stayed silent about it because she did not want to 'stain the reputation of the one show Asian Americans had to represent themselves'.
