On Monday (September 26th), Vanity Fair published an exclusive excerpt from Constance Wu‘s forthcoming book titled Making a Scene, in which Wu opens up about being raped by an “aspiring novelist” named Ty early in her career.
The Hustlers actress said the assault happened on their second date. When Ty invited her up to his apartment, she wrote, “I felt a twinge of warning in my gut, but I ignored it — he didn't look threatening or shady in any way, and if you had been there, you would have agreed.” As the pair became intimate later that night, Wu told him she wasn’t ready to have sex with him yet. Even as she repeated this, Ty didn’t listen.
“He smiled at me again like I was a baby kitten, held me close, kissed me, gently moved my legs apart, and then he . . . did it anyway,” she wrote.
