A new Netflix series has come under fire.
A petition popped up online attempting to cancel **Insatiable**.
The creators of the petition say the series appears to be "fat shaming" girls.
The firs trailer for the new Netflix comedy was released last week.
It follows a young woman who becomes thin and gets "revenge" on former bullies.
?This series needs to be cancelled. The damage control of releasing this series will be far worse, insidious and sinister for teenage girls, than it will be damaging for Netflix in their loss of profit.? Change.org petition
The stars, Debby Ryan and Alyssa Milano, have responded to the backlash.
?As someone who cares deeply about the way our bodies, especially women?s, are shamed and policed in society, I was so excited to work on Insatiable because it?s a show that addresses and confronts those ideas through satire. We?re not in the business of fat shaming. We?re out to turn a sharp eye on broken, harmful systems that equate thinness with worth? I hope fans will wait and watch the show before passing judgment.? Debby Ryan
