Girl Fight is a television film that premiered on Lifetime on October 3, 2011. Inspired by true events,[1] the film revolves around a bullied and troubled 16-year-old girl who tries to fit in with a popular group of girls, leading to a brutal beating upon joining the clique.
The film was inspired by a 2008 beating in Florida; a video of some of the beating, released by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, was used heavily by the news media and the story caused nationwide public outrage.[2][3] Additionally, Anne Heche and James Tupper, who play Haley's parents, were a couple in real life until their split in 2018.
