"Netflix dropped the trailer on Thursday morning, showing Patty (Ryan) as an overweight girl who becomes thin after having her jaw wired shut and becomes the proverbial hot girl out for “revenge,” as she puts it. Milano plays her mother in the series.
The trailer soon became the subject of backlash, with Twitter users arguing that the plot promotes a “harmful” idea that fat women must become thin in order to be attractive and successful.
“So, anyone aware of Debby Ryan’s new movie coming to @Netflix?” wrote one detractor. “It’s called Insatiable, and I have a few problems with it, mainly that it’s essentially fat shaming people.”
Milano responded to the criticism with a tweet on Thursday afternoon, writing, ” We are not shaming Patty. We are addressing (through comedy) the damage that occurs from fat shaming. I hope that clears it up.”
She was replying to a tweet from Twitter user @thecursedempath, who had slammed Milano after her initial tweet sharing the trailer, writing, “Really…..so she wasn’t able to take revenge until she was ‘conventionally attractive’? This is disgusting! You are the face of the Women’s Movement and THIS? Shame on you!”
Along with Ryan and Milano, Dallas Roberts stars in the show from writer Lauren Gussis (“Dexter,” “Once Upon A Time”). “Insatiable” is produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Storied Media Group. The show will arrive on Netflix on August 10."
"She plays Patty, a high schooler who for years was bullied for her weight. But after having her jaw wired shut for a summer, she comes back to school in the fall newly hot. Everyone who used to treat her badly wants to be her friend now, but Patty hasn't forgotten. She wants revenge.
It looks like it's going to be funny, sexy and violent all at once. Should be fun.
The Walking Dead's Dallas Roberts co-stars as an over-the-top beauty pageant coach. Charmed's Alyssa Milano plays his wife.
The series is created and executive-produced by Dexter's Lauren Gussis, which should give you a sense of the tone this could take. Insatiable's 12-episode first season premieres Friday, August 10 on Netflix."

"Description:
She sang her telegram to a Hollywood star—
Now he entertains from afar.
Foe to friend,
Help in our quest to rid this mansion of an unwanted guest.
The Charmed Ones travel to Hollywood to attend a big bash hosted by Kevin Peterson, Paige's old flame. Kevin is holding the party at his recently purchased mansion, which he was able to afford because of rumors that it's haunted! Sure enough, ghostly goings-on begin almost immediately, but everyone believes that Kevin is the one behind the "haunting." He confides in Paige that he is not.
The ghost reveals himself to be Robert Maxwell, a star of stage and screen who vanished under mysterious circumstances in 1926—right after receiving a singing telegram. A friendly ghost, Maxwell just likes having an audience. But when people start to disappear and the house seals shut, the Charmed Ones realize something evil must also be lurking.
It is only with the able assistance of their ghostly ally that they and the rest of the partygoers stand a chance."
""President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said at the summit. On Tuesday, Trump explained that he misspoke during Monday's joint presser with Putin and meant to say there was no reason "it wouldn't be Russia" behind election meddling.
"I said the word would instead of wouldn't...I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself," Trump stated.
Before Avenatti's arrival at the protest Tuesday night, many at the rally held signs with phrases such as, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention," while others called for impeachment. Moreover, a woman beat her drum in rhythm to the chants being made such as "Putin's puppet is a dummy" and "Impeach 45."
In Avenatti's speech, the attorney touched on his disapproval of the events that took place during the summit, stating that Trump had "acknowledged Vladimir Putin as the real President of the United States."
"I, like so many of you, hoped back then that the office would change the man," Avenatti said. "Now I know that it is the man that has changed the office."
Actress Alyssa Milano also made an appearance at the protest to stress the importance of participating in the November midterm elections -- a frequent theme throughout the night. The "Charmed" actress closed her speech with a chant: "Human microphone. Repeat after me! I believe that we will win!""
"The #OccupyLafayettePark protest comes as a response to Trump’s apparent defense of Vladimir Putin at the Trump-Putin summit on Monday. Last Friday, 12 Russian intelligence individuals were charged in the ongoing Robert Mueller investigation.
