While many working actors would probably be thrilled if their TV show got picked up for a year, Fresh Off The Boat star Constance Wu is not happy that the sitcom has been renewed, and has launched into an angry and messy Twitter tirade following the announcement.

Earlier today, when Fresh Off The Boat announced its sixth season via Instagram, Wu commented “dislike” on the post. She then took to her own personal Twitter to write “so upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. Fuck.”

When a fan congratulated her on the renewal, saying “great news”, the actress replied “no it’s not.” She later added a “fucking hell” for extra emphasis:

While the reasoning behind these angry Tweets is not known, Constance Wu is highly in demand as a film actress, having starred in the recent Crazy Rich Asians, and many have assumed she was keen to ditch her TV gig and take on more movie work.

Back in October, in response to a fan who asked why she wasn’t getting more film offers, she responded that she has been forced to turn down a number of recent opportunities, because she is filming Fresh Off The Boat for “9 months out of the year.”

Anyone who loves to start drama knows that you have to be as cryptic as possible when people call you out on it, and Constance Wu is clearly an expert, returning to Twitter a few minutes later to tell us that none of this is about what we think. She wrote:

“That was not a rampage, it was just how I normally talk. I say fuck a lot. I love the word. Y’all are making a lot of assumptions about what I was saying. And no, it’s not what it’s about. No it’s not..what this is all about. Stop assuming.”

She later went on to clarify:

“Todays tweets were on the heels of rough day&were ill timed w/the news of the show. Plz know, Im so grateful for FOTB renewal. I love the cast&crew. Im proud to be a part of it. For all the fans support, thank u & for all who support my casual use of the word fuck-thank u too.”

Constance Wu has starred in Fresh Off The Boat since 2015, and while the show has long been considered to be on the “bubble” for cancellation, the 20th Century Fox produced show was renewed after the recent Disney acquisition of Fox’s assets.
