Sounds like Alyssa Milano has a new show coming up on Netflix that she’s super excited to share with everyone. Take a look for yourself …
Ahhhhh! I’m so excited to share this with you!!! The trailer for my new show!#Insatiable | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix https://t.co/dfKCGaOnur
August 10th on @Netflix!

So wait. The entire show is about how this young lady was super miserable and lonely when she was heavier but then she got all skinny and became insatiable and cool? Umm … isn’t this the kind of crap that women who are pro-woman fight against? This looks a whole lot like fat-shaming to us, Alyssa.
And we weren’t the only ones to take issue with the trailer:
I love you @Alyssa_Milano but if we could stop promoting the idea that fat girls are miserable, envious girls who if they were just able to stop eating and starve themselves they would be hot and “that will show them!” So problematic and tbh just over done lazy story telling.

Lazy storytelling. This gal just summed Hollywood up in two words.
Nothing funnier than fat shaming a teen age high school girl. But you’re all about equal treatment of ALL women… umm, yeah. #hypocrite

Ouch.

Amber seems upset.
And if she is looking to Alyssa as a leader in the women’s movement we can see why.

Yeah, sir.
For all that crying you do on a daily basis, this sure looks like some fat shaming show to me. Hopefully they paid you the same as the men, since you don't have equal rights under the constitution and all.

So a show about body shaming is fine for her, just as her use of firearms in movies, her armed guards are fine, but we can't say what she doesn't like and must disarm and trust her to make the world nicer, right? #BoycottAlyssaMilano

Hypocrites are gonna hypocrite.
Alyssa did answer:
We are not shaming Patty. We are addressing (through comedy) the damage that occurs from fat shaming. I hope that clears it up. Also, this article does a good job of explaining it more: https://t.co/WoR8R7TjqR #Insatiable https://t.co/GFkDdsn1uh
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) July 19, 2018
Yeah, because fat-shaming is HILARIOUS.

you are cancelled. my body is not a costume.

Actually pretty damn powerful.
Watched the trailer and read the article, and yet I'm still severely disappointed in @netflix and you for agreeing to do this show. What a disgrace. We need to give better storytellers the chance to create better content. This is pure trash.

We don’t disagree.
A little less fat shaming and a little more policy shaming, please.

Oops, this didn’t age well.
Way to go, Alyssa.
