The tragic story of Aubreigh Wyatt, a 13-year-old girl from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, has become a devastating national flashpoint for the ongoing crisis of youth bullying and cyberbullying. As of December 2025, the central question of "who bullied Aubreigh Wyatt" is complicated by ongoing legal battles and allegations that have captivated the public's attention, moving the conversation from a private tragedy to a public legal and social media spectacle. The case gained widespread attention following Aubreigh's death in September 2023, after which her mother, Heather Wyatt, used social media to share her grief and point the finger at a specific group of girls she claimed were responsible for years of relentless torment. The fallout has since involved two major lawsuits, revealing the immense difficulty in seeking accountability for bullying-related suicide and the complex legal protections for minors involved on all sides.

The Allegations: Who Was Accused of Bullying Aubreigh?
The core of the public's curiosity lies in identifying the individuals responsible for the years of torment. While the names of the alleged bullies have been central to the public outcry, the legal situation has made official confirmation difficult, especially since all parties involved are minors.The "Four Girls" Allegation
Aubreigh's mother, Heather Wyatt, publicly claimed that a group of at least four teenage girls from Ocean Springs Middle School were the primary aggressors. The bullying was described as a prolonged campaign of insults, cruelty, and social exclusion that Aubreigh allegedly endured, sometimes even from her own friend group.The Mention of Molly Noblitt
In some early reports and social media discussions, another 13-year-old, Molly Noblitt, was named and accused of bullying Aubreigh to the point of suicide. However, the legal narrative quickly shifted to the collective group of "four girls" whose parents took legal action against Aubreigh's mother.The Dropped Slander Lawsuit (A Crucial Update)
In a significant development, the parents of the four accused girls filed a slander and defamation lawsuit against Heather Wyatt. They argued that Ms. Wyatt's public claims falsely implicated their daughters in Aubreigh's death, exposing them to harassment and threats. However, in a major update that occurred in late 2024/early 2025, the parents of the four girls *dropped* their slander lawsuit against Heather Wyatt. This dismissal, while not an admission of guilt, removed a major legal hurdle for Aubreigh's mother and refocused the legal battle onto the school district's alleged negligence.The Legal Battle for Accountability: Wyatt vs. School District
The most current and ongoing legal action is Heather Wyatt's wrongful death lawsuit against the Ocean Springs School District. This lawsuit is the primary avenue for seeking systemic accountability for the bullying Aubreigh endured.The Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filing
In February 2025, Heather Wyatt filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Ocean Springs School District, its Board of Trustees, the School Superintendent, and several other individuals. The lawsuit alleges that the school district was negligent and failed to intervene despite being aware of the ongoing, four-year pattern of bullying Aubreigh faced both on and off campus. The core of the claim is that the school district's failure to adequately address the reported incidents of bullying created a hostile environment that directly contributed to Aubreigh's death. This legal action highlights the growing trend of holding educational institutions accountable for student safety, especially in cases involving severe cyberbullying that bleeds into the school environment.Key Legal Entities Involved:
- Plaintiff: Heather Wyatt (Aubreigh's Mother)
- Primary Defendant: Ocean Springs School District
- Allegations: Negligence, failure to enforce anti-bullying policies, and creating a hostile environment.
- Current Status: The lawsuit is ongoing, with court changes and procedural motions continuing into late 2025.
