Yes—in Lifetime’s 2024 suspense drama Mommy Meanest, a teenager receiving degrading and threatening texts comes to suspect that the person targeting her is someone close to her. The film is described as inspired by real events, but its characters and events are fictionalized; it is not a documentary or a literal account of one case.
What is Lifetime’s Mommy Meanest about?
Lifetime classifies Mommy Meanest as a 2024 suspense/drama rated TV-14. Divorced mother Madelyn, played by Lisa Rinna, is close to her daughter Mia, played by Briana Skye. Their relationship is strained as Mia spends more time with her boyfriend and prepares to leave for college. Then Mia begins receiving degrading, increasingly threatening messages. Madelyn tries to identify the harasser, while Mia suspects the culprit may be someone close to her.

Delilah Hamlin plays Summer, Mia’s friend. The premise’s central reversal is that the apparent danger comes from within Mia’s family: the film’s harasser is her mother.
Is Mommy Meanest based on a true story?
Lifetime’s promotional feature calls the movie “inspired by true events.” Parade reported that Lifetime described it as inspired by the case of Kendra Gail Licari “and other cases similar to it.” Parade also reported that the film opens with a disclaimer saying, “While this film is inspired by actual events, the characters and events depicted within are fictional.”

It is best described as a fictionalized drama inspired by actual events, not as a true account of Licari’s case.
Who stars in the movie?
- Lisa Rinna as Madelyn, Mia’s mother.
- Briana Skye as Mia.
- Delilah Hamlin as Summer, Mia’s friend.
In Lifetime’s promotional feature, Rinna described her approach to playing Madelyn: “It was really interesting to research what would drive somebody to go to those lengths to keep control of their child.” She also said it was a challenge to avoid playing the character as “over-the-top crazy,” because Madelyn believes she is doing what is best for her child. That is Rinna’s perspective on portraying a fictional character, not clinical commentary on the real cases that inspired the film.
