Recently Lifetime TV aired "Queen Sized" starring full-figured Nikki Blonsky as a fat girl whose name is put on the ballot as a joke for homecoming queen. But she is voted homecoming queen by kids who truly supported her. Queen Sized is based on a real life obese teen who was voted homecoming queen as a joke.

According to the comments posts on the Lifetime TV site (http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/movies/queen-sized), the real-life "Maggie Baker" was about as mean a bully as a high school girl could be. There are numerous posts on the nine-page thread from women identifying themselves as former students of Novi High School, where the real-life homecoming queen, Alexandra (Allie) Burris attended.

Every post in reference to Allie Burris has just awful things to say about her: She was promiscuous, on drugs half the time, picked fights, and was a bully. The movie, they say, gives the impression that the girl the story is based on was some innocent, sweet kind soul, like the Maggie Baker character. One of the posts is by Alexandra Burris's mother -- who doesn't seem to be aware of all the hostile posts directed towards her daughter.

Allie herself finally made a post and denies any of the claims that she was often stoned and created nothing but trouble. After reading her post, you then wonder if there's a group of Novi graduates who all hated Allie because she was obese, and they all decided to post terrible things about her. Or maybe all the vile posts are by one person under multiple registration names.

But then someone posts after Allie and, once again, you are led to believe that this girl was truly a brawling bully who picked fights with classmates (Allie says she was in only one fight ever, with her friend, and that she never had sex with anyone at the school; and admits to smoking pot, but then says, "Who hasn't indulged?").

Can all these women posting all be liars? Or can it all be the clever work of one user under different registrations?
