Just days ago, I was watching one of the interviews of The Hustler and I was thinking to myself
“This Constance lady is actually very calm and quiet!
What diva attitude were these people talking about?”
fast forward to almost a week later, when this headline “Constance Wu is an even bigger
diva than Jennifer Lopez” became a hot topic!
So I am here to clear things up once and for all!
Let’s find out if Constance Wu is actually a DIVA or not!
Ok!
So I started reading about Constance Wu not being sure if I wanted to take her side or
not because this whole diva thing has been around for quite a while but then something
changed!
The more interviews of her I read and watched, the surer I was that people are just trying
to make things hard for Constance because they are not used to an Asian-American lady
having power and being outspoken!
Constance is one of those stars who has been through a lot!
She comes from a financially poor family and knows how it feels like to wait tables trying
to make ends meet!
She has even been in so much debt that they stopped giving her credit cards!
Despite all of this, she did not give up on her dream of being an actress and just like
all the fairytale movies, this hardworking lady finally got her breakthrough which was
the role of Jessica Huang in Fresh Off the Boat series!
With playing the suburban wife and mother of three she caught the attention of pretty
much everyone!
E! named her a breakout star of the 2014-15 television season and she received many nominations
for her role such as The Critics' Choice Television Award and Television Critics Association TCA
Award.
And the same success got her the role in Jon M. Chu's adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians which
turned into a HUGE success and broke all kinds of records!
Just to give you an idea, the movie became the highest-grossing romantic comedy in a
decade with over $238 million gross.
And it also received many nominations such as Golden Globe Award, Critics' Choice Movie
Awards, and won the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Comedy!
And now she is in Hustlers being a former stripper with JLo!
Now, the whole DIVA drama was only around with a couple of comments here and there but
it actually exploded after Constance found out about the renewal of Fresh Off the Boat
for season 6!
I guess I can say that she is a little too dramatic.
She even admitted it herself that her reaction was just off!
I mean, if you are angry, just go ahead and call a friend.
Don’t go put dislike on Instagram or tweet how pissed you are on twitter!
But I guess she was just very frustrated cause she had to let go of another opportunity she
had that she was so looking forward to it!
As Wu said it herself in her apology letter, she had this moment of heat where she got
upset and expressed her frustrations publicly just because she is still not used to being
a role model!
She didn’t even know people pay this much attention to her tweets!
But of course, things did not end there!
She remained in the minds of some people as an ungrateful, pretentious, and unappreciative
actoress and now that there are some rumors about her being a DIVA on the set of Hustlers,
those people are on the I-Told-You-So mood!
One of the sources said that “[Wu] is a pain in the f*cking a**.
She just won’t agree to do anything.
She refuses to do interviews, she won’t have visitors on her sets.
It’s like a cliché.
She is very talented – but all signs are pointing to a difficult diva.” and another
source about her attitude on the set of the Fresh of the Boat said that she is the most
hated person on the set!
That “She’s a total piece of work.
She thinks it’s OK to treat people badly and say out loud whatever comes to her.
She’s the new Katherine Heigl, and if she’s not careful, her movie career will go in the
same direction – downhill.”
Things got so out of hand that rumors suggest that she was even more of a DIVA than Jennifer
Lopez!
I mean, are you kidding me?!
Why are you trying to make it look like there is always a catfight when there are two or
more leading ladies in a movie?!
Lorene Scafaria, the director of the movie did not stay quiet and expressed how disappointed
she was in this headline saying she found it an insult to her set and her team!
Jennifer Lopez also defended Constance saying during that 29 days that she was on the set,
Constance was nothing but nice to her and all the crew!
Since then, so many other people have stood up for her on social platforms and I, with
my team, also decided to create a video just to show our support!
True, what she said about Fresh off the boat was insensitive and she even accepts it but
people are really blowing things out of proportion and I believe the problem is that we are just
not used to having an Asian-American woman who is this outspoken, talented, pretty, successful
and HUMAN at the same time!
Alright!
I said what I had to say!
Now, it is your turn!
What do you guys think?!
Do you believe that Constance Wu actually has DIVA attitude problems?!
