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.
Girlboss: Season 1, Episode 1
, 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.

However, since the series was commissioned, Nasty Gal has filed for bankruptcy – but Amoruso is channelling her business instincts into new projects. After publishing her memoir #Girlboss in 2014, she's launched her own new media company called (yep, you guessed it) Girlboss.
So, what else do we need to know about Netflix's new 13-part comedy, released on Friday 21 April? Find out more about its story and lead actress right here.
32-year-old US entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso is the founder and former CEO of Nasty Gal. In 2002 after dropping out of college, she started selling vintage clothes on eBay in an effort to turn a quick buck.

The story of Sophia Amoruso is that, in her early 20s, we have this girl who is this broke, anarchist, pissed-off-at-the-world college dropout, ” Girlboss series creator and Pitch Perfect writer Kay Cannon says. She ultimately finds her passion of selling clothes online. ... six years later, (she) has a personal net worth of $180 million-plus and 350 employees.
Nasty Gal had struggled for years, so, sadly, this was less of a shock, she wrote in InStyle earlier this April. We’d been through multiple rounds of layoffs and lawsuit after lawsuit and couldn’t keep up with the ever-changing retail model. After putting my own money into the business in 2015 and handing over the keys to a veteran CEO, I decided to play to my strengths and focus on what mattered most: the brand. I worked on big-picture strategies and partnerships. I gave it hell. But it was already too late.
However, based on the #Girlboss brand she's started another company, a community and media company for women that focuses on redefining success, called surprise – Girlboss.
Netflix Is Turning Sophia Amoruso's '#girlboss' Autobiography Into A Comedy Series
Amoruso has also been a key part of the new series with Netflix, meeting with star Britt Robertson ahead of filming and serving as executive producer alongside Hollywood star Charlize Theron and creator Kay Cannon.
Girlboss star Britt Robertson admits she knew nothing about her clothing line or her brand when she auditioned for Netflix's latest comedy. It was only after she got the part that she met Amoruso.
It was weird, Robertson says. It was like a combination of what I had learned about her and from her, but also it is a fictionalised version; we’re not trying to mock or imitate her.
New Netflix Series Inspired By #girlboss Is Coming Soon
Robertson moved to LA from North Carolina aged just 14, picking up small parts in a range of TV series and movies, including Law & Order, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Tangled Up In Blue (alongside Robert Downey Jr).
