Ruby Gettinger: A 500-Pound Reality Star

at .

A 500-pound woman will be the focus of a new Style Network reality show premiering this fall.

Ruby will follow Savannah, Georgia resident Ruby Gettinger over nine episodes, as she struggles to navigate through life and to lose weight.

Gettinger is a close friend of consulting executive producer Brittany Daniel, who said about her pal:

"Ruby really wants to inspire people. She's so entertaining and hysterical, so it's going to be an inspirational but also a really fun show."

Here's a video of Ruby:
