Is here and the new Netflix series is getting as much scrutiny as the Girlboss it’s inspired by, controversial Nasty Gal creator Sophia Amoruso. Our fictional Sophia (Britt Robertson) has already been called cartoonishly brash, a classic asshole genius, and a manic-pixie-jackass. All of this is true. But, if you stick around through all of season 1’s 13 episodes, you’ll realize there’s a lot more going on underneath all that bluster and vintage clothing.
When we first meet Sophia in Girlboss, she’s simply a caricature of everything we’re told is wrong with millennials, and then some. She’s self-obsessed, always late, and has a crippling case of Peter Pan Syndrome. On top of all of that, she also steals, has a misplaced sense of superiority, and is rude in ways that hint she’s never spoken to another human being.
Then, episode 4, Ladyshopper99, happens. This is the moment we see Sophia go from a sketch of countless awful qualities held together by rocker-chic duds, to a deeply sad young woman with a real history. A big part of that is thanks to a dinner conversation between Sophia, her artist friend Nathan (Cole Escola), and his mom (Nicole Sullivan). Nathan and his mom couldn’t have a closer relationship, which finally gets Sophia to open up about her own family, which includes an MIA mother and a (sometimes understandably) critical dad.

, she explains, starting to get a far-off look in her eyes. I have this eBay thing, which I think is pretty cool. But, I know that [my dad] would just find a way to make it seem like I was doing it all wrong. I’m not even gonna mention it to him until I can buy…really everything that Barbie has.
Then, Nathan’s mom gives Sophia the kind of hug that nearly brings tears to her eyes. It looks like the first time the budding fashion mogul has received any maternal love in years. That’s when we realize Sophia is still haunted by demons from her childhood. She doesn’t act like a monster because she’s a natural Garbage Person as she’s called later in Girlboss; she’s thick-skinned because she still feels abandoned.
This plot point becomes even more obvious when Sophia goes nuclear and tells her best friend Annie (Ellie Reed) she’s essentially done nothing to make Nasty Girl the nascent success it is. Of course that’s a lie — Annie does all the hair and makeup for the eBay photos and essentially manages the business — but our resident narcissistic girlboss can’t see that. Sophia was deserted once by someone she loves, so she’s convinced herself she doesn’t need anyone else, that she's a one woman army. Again, this is totally incorrect.

Is able to start reversing Sophia’s most self-destructive tendencies is to go right to the source. For the Christmas episode, Garbage Person, Sophia eventually tracks down her mom Kathleen (Alice Ripley), who’s a down-on-her-luck aging actress. Despite the mother-daughter pair’s longtime emotional and physical distance, they have the same scream-first, apologize-never attitude. While Sophia has been celebrating this behavior for the entirety of the series, her mom acts as a Ghost Of Christmas Future, revealing the sad, lonely life her daughter could have if she doesn’t get her act together. It’s no surprise Kathleen’s troupe is performing
When Sophia returns to San Francisco she's not a totally new person, but she finally has enough humility to ask Annie to forgive her. So, yes, Sophia is sometimes a manic-pixie jackass. But she's also the kind of nasty gal you'll end up rooting for if you're paying attention.

Sure, she's been mentioned on occasion, but it seemed like a topic Sophia preferred not to share with many people. It was revealed in Episode 7 that her mom walked out on her and Jay when Sophia was just 12 years old, but Episode 12 found mother and daughter reunited thanks to an impromptu holiday adventure. But who plays Sophia's mom on Girlboss? Alice Ripley was the one who took on the complicated role.
Viewers were first introduced to Sophia's mom, Kathleen, when Sophia showed up in Wichita, Kansas and caught her performance in an amusing retelling of Charles Dickens'

, so her locals are pretty legit. Her character had the same aspirations for making it big in the business, though, sadly for Kathleen, they had yet to come to pass.
By the end of the episode, Kathleen was back to uprooting her life when she ended up not getting the lead part she wanted in the next production. And while she wanted Sophia to come with her (the two of them shared quite the bonding experience — they even stole a Christmas tree!), staying with her mom made Sophia realize how she didn't want to run away from her problems. She was going to face them head on. It didn't matter that eBay had suspended her account... she was going to create her own company and let the chips fall where they may.
So even though their reunion together was short lived, Ripley's character served a very important purpose of giving Sophia the clarity she needed to make her next move and launch Nasty Gal. It's hard to say if we'll ever end up hearing from her again (should the series come back for more seasons), but either way it was nice to see them together and understand a bit more about Sophia's past. It paved the way for a very bright future.

By Sophia Amoruso, you have to be willing to let the series grow on you. It’s funny. It’s filthy. It’s outrageous. It’s heartwarming.
When we first meet Sophia she is hard to take. One wonders what her best friend Annie (Ellie Reed) and her boyfriend Shane (Johnny Simmons) even see in her. Sophia is all over the place, she does crazy stuff, she goes off on people, she’s flat broke and eating out of dumpsters.
