Despite the controversy surrounding "Insatiable," the series was renewed for a second season, which continues to follow Patty's story. The show is meant to send a positive message to its viewers that loving one's body is essential in life and that no one has to go to extreme lengths to look a certain way.
In real life, body shaming is evident globally, and celebrities are no exception. Sam Smith recently experienced this as his body transformed through the years. Musician Tim McGraw's daughter, Gracie McGraw, also faced critics who blasted her for being overweight.
