Exclusive: Cast of Netflix's 'Insatiable' defend the show, say fat-shaming allegations are absurd
The cast claims Insatiable is a fun show that's not fat-shaming. They agree there's a conversation to be had, but want the audience to give it a chance
Netflix's new original series Insatiable starts streaming on Friday (August 10), but weeks before the show launched, it was met with harsh criticism and social media campaigns calling for its cancellation. The objection stemmed from the trailer and the comedy's premise: a teenaged girl named Patty (Debby Ryan) who is overweight and bullied, but when she has her jaw wired shut she drops the extra pounds and becomes a beauty queen who seeks revenge on everyone who was ever mean to her. Many claimed 'Insatiable" fat-shamed, although nobody had actually seen the show.
