The Actress Who Plays Badison on OITNB Actually Has a Crazy Connection to Alex Vause

If the COs of Litchfield were to ask the inmates if they've ever felt personally victimized by Badison Murphy, we're pretty sure we'd have a room filled with raised hands, a la Mean Girls [1]. During season six of Orange Is the New Black [2], fans are introduced to a vicious new bully, and although Badison is a far cry from Regina George, they both sure know how to piss off a lot of people [3]. Originally named Madison before dubbing herself "Badison" (and once called Sadison), the small but mighty inmate proves that she'll do anything to be Carol's top dog. With a memorable Boston accent and an obvious lack of conscience, Piper's new bunk mate becomes the centre of a lot of drama [4] in the new season. But with such a strong presence, we can't believe we didn't recognise actress Amanda Fuller [5] from her previous roles.

Not only did Fuller star as Alex Vause's Laura Prepon's younger sister [6], Tina Pinciotti, in That '70s Show, she's had minor roles in some of our favourite shows like Malcolm in the Middle, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 7th Heaven, Scandal, Law & Order: SVU, and more. Fuller played Brittany Murphy [7] in The Brittany Murphy Story television movie in 2014, and swapped out her blue uniform for scrubs as Dr. Morgan Peterson at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in season 8 of Grey's Anatomy [8]. More recently, she starred as Kristin Baxter for five seasons of Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. Read on to see photos of Badison in real life [9], and catch up on all the OITNB season 6 flashbacks here [10].
