Constance Wu has revealed she was raped early in her career during a date with an aspiring novelist.

In her upcoming memoir Making a Scene, Wu recalled the confusion she felt after the incident and how she was able to forget about the encounter for years before it all came flooding back once she achieved success in Hollywood.

In an excerpt of the novel obtained by Vanity Fair, Wu, 40, revealed she initially did not consider the experience assault until years later after filming Crazy Rich Asians.

Wu recalled initially being dazzled by Ty, an aspiring novelist who worked a regular 9-5 job, when he first asked her out.

'When Ty asked me out on a date, it felt like I had been invited to the popular kids' table. He was thirty-six and he was a real New Yorker. Ty was tall and broad-shouldered. He had the kind of skin where you could tell he probably had freckles on his shoulders,' she wrote.

The alleged rape occurred during their second date, when Ty invited her to his apartment after dinner to give her a gift.

Constance ignored a 'twinge of warning in my gut' and entered his apartment, recalling Ty did not appear 'threatening or shady' and she did not want to insult him by having him believe she perceived him as a threat. 

Once inside his place, Ty gave her a 'beautifully wrapped' gift and asked her not to open it until she returned home.

'It was a sweet gesture, and I kissed him to say thanks,' Constance wrote.

The kissing led to 'some fooling around', and Constance 'let him take some of my clothes off and I let myself be touched.'

'He felt me between my legs, and I shyly pushed him away, but he could feel my arousal,' she recalled.

Ty then put a condom on, but Constance told him she was not ready.

'He took off his pants and started putting the condom on—an obvious signal for sex—which I did not want. So I said, "Oh gosh, I'm sorry, I'm not ready to have sex with you,"' she recalled.

Despite her protestation, Ty continued.

'I said it clearly. But he merely smiled, as if he knew better, as if my vagina's wetness was more telling than the words coming out of my mouth. He gently got on top of me and held my face in his hands. He kissed my lips, my forehead, and looked into my eyes. He was being so tender.'

Once again, she told Ty she was not ready, but he still went ahead and did it.  

'I repeated, as seriously as I could, "Really, I'm not ready for sex," my face flushing. 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.

'I didn't fight back. I just... gave up.'

Constance said she decided against fighting back because she didn't 'want to make a scene.'

'And since he was wearing a condom, I rationalized that it wasn't that bad,' she added.

To this day, she still struggles with the fact that she quickly achieved orgasm during the experience.

'It shames and confuses me even today to admit this part: I had an orgasm quickly, something that rarely happens the first time I have sex with someone. I hate that it happened,' she said.

However, she did not indicate to Ty
