“So upset that I’m literally crying”
Constance Wu is being mocked after it was announced that Fresh Off The Boat will be cancelled after season 6.
In May, Wu came under fire for expressing her frustration that the Asian American TV show had been renewed for another season.
“So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. Fuck,” Wu wrote in one message.
“Fucking hell,” she wrote in another.
Now that Fresh Off The Boat won’t be returning after season 6, people have taken to social media to mock how happy Wu must be feeling.

However, not all reactions were insincere. Wu’s costar Randall Park, who plays Louis Huang, expressed his appreciation for the show in Instagram. “For six seasons, I got to play a man of many dimensions: a loving father and husband, a friend, a boss… I got to laugh, to cry, to sing, to dance, to be a real human being,” he wrote.
Ken Jeong played Louis’s brother Gene, is also saddened by the cancellation. “Thank you so much @FreshOffABC for galvanizing the Asian-American Community into a living breathing organism. If it wasn’t for #FreshOffTheBoat there would be no #DrKen or #CrazyRichAsians. I Love You So Much,” he tweeted.
