Girls Gone Wild: Texas Cheerleaders Terrorize Town

This is a partial transcript from “On the Record,” January 4, 2007, that has been edited for clarity.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: All right, is it a real-life case of mean girls meets girls gone wild? One red-hot scandal is rocking a Texas town. Well, hang onto your seats. The “Fab Five,” as they were known, ran wild. These five cheerleaders were known for raising hell across a suburban Dallas high school. There were dirty photos of the girls, too. They put them on the Internet. And the “Fab Five” ringleader: the daughter of the school principal.

Joining us from Dallas, Gretel Kolach, Newsweek’s special correspondent. Greta, any update in the last 24 hours on this continuing saga? I guess there’s a lot of national attention on it.

GRETEL KOVACH, NEWSWEEK: No, it continues to percolate. Well, now we have some of the other McKinney High School students who claim to have been terrorized and bullied coming out on different TV shows, saying that you know, slogans were spray-painted on their house and they were — her house was toilet papered and she had to transfer schools. And so, one of the parents I spoke to said, “My daughter, who was one of the so-called ‘Fab Five,’ never had any problems with other students.” And I think there has been information surfacing that, yes, they were popular, they were attractive, but many students resented them because they saw them as being above the rules and it wasn’t a good situation.
