Constance Wu is PISSED.
And it’d seem rightfully so, as Casey Affleck was nominated for an Oscar for his role in the flick Manchester By The Sea, despite having multiple allegations of sexual harassment under his belt. Oof.

In case you forgot, back in 2010, Affleck settled out of court with two women who accused him of sexual harassment while working on his documentary, I’m Still Here. Since both ladies wanted no less than $2 million a piece, it was believed Ben Affleck‘s bro shelled out a pretty penny to get the legal drama dropped!
While it may seem like most of Hollywood has forgotten the upsetting story, the Fresh Off The Boat actress clearly hasn’t as she called out The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for rewarding the controversial actor. Miz Wu took to Twitter and wrote:

I’ve been counseled not to talk about this for career’s sake. F my career then, I’m a woman & human first. That’s what my craft is built on.
