20/20: The Bobby Brown Story: Every Little Step
ABC, 10 ET/PT

Robin Roberts interviews Bobby Brown in a special timed to coincide with the release of his new memoir. If this is actually a news interview that presses him to speak honestly about his life, his career, and the drug-related deaths of his ex-wife Whitney Houston and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, it could be well worth watching. If it’s just celebrity fluff meant to promote his new book, not so much.

Today (Tuesday) at 2:00PM (EDT) on LMN: Girl Fight (2011)

'Girl Fight:' True story based on video beating of Victoria Lindsay

"Girl Fight" is a 2011 true story movie based on the YouTube beating video of Victoria Lindsay also known as 'Tori' Lindsay. The movie originally aired on Lifetime television as a based on a true story movie. All the names and locations were changed. The real story happened in Florida.

Victoria Lindsay's story made headlines in 2008 when a video surfaced on YouTube, which showed 6 girls beating Lindsay while two male teens waited outside the home.

According to sources, Victoria, who was not living at home with her parents at the time, was lured to the home where the girls beat her until she was completely unconscious. Once she regained consciousness, the girls beat her again.

The girl fight beating was so severe that her own parents did not recognize her. In fact, the Lifetime movie version was mild compared to what really happened...
