Constance Wu insisted that her film, “Hustlers,” was all about “love” after Page Six revealed that reps contacted multiple outlets to ensure she got top billing in articles about the movie.

We will continue to share and celebrate this story together, as sisters. Thank you to all the fans for believing in us and supporting this film.”
