Cynthia Campbell appeals her conviction for aggravated battery, a violation of OCGA § 16-5-24. In her sole enumeration of error, Campbell argues that the evidence was insufficient to sustain her conviction. Finding no error, we affirm.

Viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict,1 the evidence shows that on July 16, 2000, Campbell attended a cookout at which the victim and his current girlfriend were present. Campbell and the victim had dated for a short period earlier, but had not dated since January or February of 2000. After the cookout, the victim, his girlfriend, Campbell, and several other friends went to Charlie’s Bar and Grill “the club”. The victim was apprehensive about taking Campbell to the club because Campbell had been telling his current girlfriend lies about him. After arriving at the club, the victim had a conversation with Jennifer Holder, one of the other women in the group, and expressed his dislike for Campbell and the reasons behind the dislike, i.e. that she was telling his current girlfriend lies about him. Later in the evening, Holder told Campbell that she needed to watch her back and that Campbell had no friends. After the conversation between Campbell and Holder, Campbell went to the victim’s girlfriend and asked her permission to speak to the victim.
