Upcoming Netflix show âGirlbossâ is based on Nasty Gal founder and Girlboss author Sophia Amorusoâs real-life story. And because there are a whole lot of women in her life, the cast of the show also is female-heavy.Â
Seems like a given, right? Well, according to Charlize Theron, who is an executive producer on the series, not everyone took so kindly to the lady-dominated casting.Â
âOn person said to us, âThereâs too many girls in this,ââ Theron told E! News on the red carpet for the âGirlbossâ premiere.Â
Her response was simple: âI was like, âAnd, your problem is...ââ Â
Theron continued, saying that sheâs relieved to finally be at a place in her life and career where she can say ânoâ if a project doesnât feel right.
â[This show] had to be authentic,â she told E! News, âand so if we couldnât do that, I didnât want to do it. And it was nice to have a bunch of girls around me that supported that and we stood strong, and today we have the show that we really wanted to make.âÂ
