I had to overcome that and be honest about my experiences because the hope is to help people who are feeling isolated and alone, and in this place where I could have used help back then, and I didn’t have it. And writing was healing to me because you don’t have a physical wound when you have an emotional trauma. And it was really healing and helpful to me in a way that I didn’t realize. I think it’s more important to be honest and true, then it is to be a positive role model. I found that putting words on a page, it was like having a witness, like having a scar, having something that showed that this was a real thing. I recognized that the message I was trying to get out meant more to me than my fear of social media. I think it made it real for me in a way that I didn’t realize would happen. And I think trying to repress that abuse for five years, in order to preserve everyone else’s jobs, the reputation of the show — being such a beacon for Asian-Americans — you don’t want to dirty and sully that one shining beacon, inevitably came out in “Making a Scene.” I think the book provides, not excuses, but context to it. I didn’t actually want to include it, but it was about my experience on “Fresh Off the Boat” and how the first five years I was sexually harassed and intimidated. I just sort of let my mind and my heart tell me what I wanted to write. Because of that, I don’t try and make myself out to be the coolest person or the best person. The contempt made Wu feel “helpless and desperate,” leading to a suicide attempt in 2019.
