The Fresh Off The Boat star has not shied away from sharing her difficult experiences in the entertainment industry. She’s opened up about having suicidal thoughts following backlash from her TV show and also spoke out about a producer on the series sexually harassing her. She’s also responded to critics who have called her out for dating white guys as an Asian woman in interviews. “They make this assumption that every single one of my boyfriends has been white based on the one boyfriend they’ve seen on my social media, who is the boyfriend that I was dating when I first started my account, all the way up until after,” she said during the Vulture Los Angeles Fest in 2018, per IndieWire. “I am completely okay in my choices and why I make them — I’m very confident in that — so if somebody needs to target me in order to be part of a longer journey about how they feel about themselves or their place in the world, I think that’s fine.”
