It looks like the dumpster-diving fashion mogul at the centre of Netflix's Girlboss might have to get used to living in a trash can again -- as the streaming service has cancelled the series after one season.
The comedy-drama, inspired by the rags-to-riches true-life story of Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso, received mixed reviews when it debuted in April. Critics condemned the series for largely glorifying Amoruso, despite the brand mogul being the target of a series of lawsuits in recent years citing the poor treatment of her employees.
Despite being front-and-centre of Girlboss's publicity, and happily posing alongside star Britt Robertson and producer Charlize Theron at the show's premiere, Amoruso has since appeared to slightly regret her involvement in the show in the wake of its cancellation, writing in a series of Instagram stories that the series didn't properly reflect her journey.
How Overfunding Killed Nasty Gal
So that Netflix series about my life got canceled, she wrote. While I'm proud of the work we did, I'm looking forward to controlling my narrative from here on out.
It was a good show, she wrote, and I was privileged to work with incredible talent, but living my life as a caricature was hard even if only for two months. It will be nice to someday tell the story of what's happened in the last few years. Ppl read the headline, not the correction, I've learned.
Girlboss marks the fourth high-profile Netflix cancellation in recent months, following the axing of Sense8, The Get Down and Bloodline. It also comes two months after company CEO Reed Hastings claimed that the service's hit ratio was too high and that they should start becoming more ruthless when it comes to underperforming series.

The show's demise also marks another professional blow for actress Britt Robertson, who has appeared in a litany of bombs or seemingly cursed projects in recent years, among them The Space Between Us, A Dog's Purpose, Tomorrowland, Mother's Day and the Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Longest Ride. Poor girl needs some better luck.When Sophia Amoruso was a dumpster-diving 22-year-old in Portland, the very last thing she probably expected was that, in less than 10 years, she’d become a millionaire CEO. Or that, in the year 2017, Netflix would be rolling out an original show about her life called
, set to drop on April 21, it’s wise to acquaint yourself with Amoruso’s legacy — both its triumphs and its controversies. While the fictional account starring Britt Robertson is pretty sensational, Amoruso’s life doesn’t need too much sprucing up to make entertaining. There are enough twists and turns to keep you hooked until the very last slide.
It just goes to show that life is a long, winding, and unpredictable road. Think of Sophia Amoruso as a millennial Cinderella, weaving vintage rags into veritable riches before our very eyes.

Girlboss Sophia Amoruso Nasty Garbage Person Character
Bestseller written by Nasty Gal’s founder and former CEO Sophia Amoruso, but it’s as stylized and surreal as the six-inch platform boots and lamé jumpsuits Nasty Gal stocks.
Nasty Gal has been plagued with problems. First came the allegations that Amoruso had shifted her efforts from the fashion company she built to promoting her best-selling memoir (and herself); former employees began leaving scathing reviews on Glassdoor. Then, in September 2014, the layoffs (and lawsuits) started.
Amoruso stepped down as CEO of Nasty Gal in January 2015, funding for the company slowed, and even more employees were laid off. By November 2016, Nasty Gal had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; UK retailer Boohoo acquired the company this past February. Of course, none of this is depicted in season 1 of

, which focuses on Sophia (played by Britt Robertson) as she gets her start “flipping clothes” on eBay and, later, launches her own website. Should
Get renewed for further seasons, it’ll be fascinating to see how — if at all — the show portrays Nasty Gal’s downfall.
Paints a fairly flattering picture of Sophia overall. Brash and foulmouthed, the character is flawed — but the audience is clearly meant to root for her throughout, which sometimes feels problematic. Had Amoruso not been personally involved in the project, I wonder if the screenplay might’ve had a little more bite (for the better).

True. In her memoir, Amoruso notes with “zero pride” that she used to steal everything from rugs to books, so it makes sense that
True and true; and yes, she really did take the latter gig for the health insurance so she could have a hernia removed. But at the real-life Academy of Art University, I doubt Amoruso ever had a boss as delightful as Rick (Norm Macdonald), who steals every scene he’s in.
Sophia with many costume pieces for the character, all [of which paid] homage to her look IRL, ” Fisher says. “Her grandmother’s Greek Orthodox silver cross, since Sophia wore that necklace proudly and often back in the day; dozens of brutalist and ‘70s vintage silver rings, as she always had an eclectic mix on each hand; the sleek denim jumpsuit; a turquoise baby cord bomber that I copied right from one of [Amoruso’s] Polaroids; the sexy red denim ‘70s jeans that Britt struts around in at the beginning of the show; a Victorian lace blouse that mirrored a similar piece in Sophia’s closet; a rhinestone-encrusted denim shirt inspired by a recent Instagram of [Amoruso] — those are a few of my favorite examples.”

The first item Sophia ever sold on eBay was a vintage leather jacket she bought for nine dollars and sold for over $600.
