On the first date, Wu described Ty as a man in his 30s who seemed polite and respectable. They then went on a second date with dinner together.

Ty invites Wu to his apartment. They then kiss and physical touch following that becomes excessive. Wu shared that Ty then took the condom.

“That’s a clear signal for sex, which I don’t want,” said Wu, who also explained repeatedly to Ty that she wasn’t ready for sex.

“But he just smiled, as if he knew better than the words that came out of my mouth. He did it anyway,” said Constance Wu.

Contance Wu Just Silent When Sexual Harassment Happens

Sadly, the Taiwanese-blooded woman just kept quiet and gave up. At that moment he told himself not to panic.

“Cool girls won’t freak out. Plus he’s not rude. He just doesn’t listen to me. Plus if I fight him, there’s a risk he might become angry or violent. Can I really fight someone who’s twice my physical size and one decades older than me? In his apartment? I’m already so embarrassed. I don’t want to make a fuss,” he explained.

After leaving the man’s apartment, Wu tried to digest what had happened. No anger, just confusion.

“I just felt weird. Maybe because there was no physical strength. I didn’t feel attacked or coerced and I didn’t feel raped. He just didn’t hear me, I thought,” she admits.

Just realized I’d been raped following so many years

Wu buried that dark experience. Having this bitter experience made Constance Wu vocal regarding issues of sexism, gender equality and calling for an end to the rape culture.

“Thinking how lucky I was to never be raped,” she thought at the time.

But that thought changed following shooting the film Crazy Rich Asians in 2018. He only realized that Ty had raped her.

“I had just woken up from a nap when consciousness hit me like a flood. Ty raped me, and I didn’t do anything,” she wrote in her book.

Wu wondered why it took her more than 10 years to realize she had been sexually assaulted. But it was clear that she had been raped.

“I don’t approve of that sex. Maybe it’s not violence, but rape. Period,” firmly Constance Wu.
