After the Hustlers trailer dropped people here and everywhere were confused over Constance Wu having first billing. Over Jennifer Lopez.
Page Six reported that she "demanded" top billing and that her team has sent messages to sites to put her name first when writing about the movie.
Constance's rep wrote a statement to US weekly:
“Constance had no knowledge or awareness of acts on her behalf of Hustlers to have reporting mirror that of the film’s castings or contractual billings. Representatives associated with her and the film did engage media outlets to correct misrepresentations of the film’s characters and castings in the spirit of calibrating credits to accurately reflect the guidelines set forth in standard legal contracts.”
“While Constance’s character in Hustlers is the key protagonist, any reporting that implies or indicates that she demanded or directed this recently reported initiative is patently untrue and a clear manipulation of facts. She has always been and remains a proud supporter of all her fellow castmates inclusion in the celebration of this film and telling of this story.”
