How do you know that?
When we first see Benny she is reacting to Andy’s friend. The friend who started a fight with her. The most she did in the scene was make a face and say “oh look” to her friends. She didn’t go out of her way to speak or antagonize Andy or Andy’s friend.
If she was supposed to be the bully, it wasn’t filmed that way. Andy was the bully. In the first scene with Steff, it was Andy again who took it down the road of evil. She didn’t have to react that way. Again, Andy was the bully. When Andy confronted Blane in the hallway, she was the one who got violent. Andy was the bully.
So what was Hughes trying to say about Andy? Considering his public statements, I don’t think he saw how everything truly played out even though he filmed it. It was all subconscious.

Um, well Blaine basically ghosted Andie days before prom and then tried to lie and say someone else asked him and he forgot. He humiliated her. I think I’d be a bit pissed too. Did we even watch the same movie? Lol
There was clearly some sort of division between the wealthy and poor students. How about at the party Blaine and Andie attended? Andie walks past that girl and she made a crack about Andie’s clothes. “This isn’t a dinner party, honey”. Who was the bully then?

I'm not saying Blaine, Steff and Benny are right. I'm saying Andie took it a step further.
Blaine was wrong and what he did was horrible. But that doesn't give Andie the permission to screech at him in the school hall and physically push him around. That was crazy.
The girl at the party was just some girl. The real hint was that she KNEW Andy. Which meant she had run-ins with her before and Andy gave as good as she got. At least Andy controlled her loud mouth throughout that scene. One of the very few times she did.
