Reviewers have described East Middle School Assistant Principal Kim Lockwood as the "pseudo-villain" of the documentary. Frequently, audience members gasp or groan during scenes in which Lockwood tries to negotiate a handshake between a bully and his reluctant victim, or, while meeting with Libby's parents, downplays the possibility that he's being bullied.
After a free screening of Bully in November at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Sioux City, attended by 1,700 people, Lockwood stood up and delivered what many described as a public apology.
"It's been hell," she said of the aftermath.
Hate mail has streamed in.
She hasn't spoken to the Bully filmmakers since the film's premiere, she said.
"If I end up dead, they'll have to live with it."
Wow...I didn't think I could get loose any more respect for this woman. Not only does she seem to take responsibility for her actions but she tries to make the filmmakers feel guilty? I truly hope this film will get her fired.
