Alyssa Milano Defends ‘Insatiable’ It’s About the ‘Damage That Happens From Fat-Shaming’
Alyssa Milano had a secret: She struggled with crippling anxiety.“There was always the threat of someone finding out and being exposed,” the actress tells Us. “Because there’s a stigma attached to mental illness and there’s shame sometimes associated with anything that’s perceived as different.”
But like her Insatiable character Coralee — she hides her trailer park roots — Milano learned to embrace her insecurities. “Coming out, I felt such a sense of relief,” says the Charmed alum, whose social climber befriends newly skinny Patty in the Netflix revenge series. “A lot of Coralee’s growth comes from acceptance of her past. She doesn’t have to hide to show she’s fabulous.”
