Netflix is defending its controversial upcoming original series, **Insatiable**.
The show has been accused of "fat-shaming."
Netflix's original series VP Cindy Holland has addressed the controversy.
"The creator [Lauren Gussis] felt very strongly about exploring these issues based on her own experiences, but satirically, in a very over the top way. Ultimately, the message of the show is that what is most important is you feel most comfortable." Cindy Holland
She said the issue of "fat shaming is in the DNA of the show."
Holland added that it was a topic that Netflix's PR team could address better.
The series is set to premiere on the streaming service August 10.
An online petition to cancel the show had over 200,000 signatures by Monday afternoon.
