Question about Kimberly's plan! Help!

I watched the movie a while ago so maybe I am forgetting something, so bear with me. I understand that Kimberly's plan was:

-Get role of Anne Frank
-Lose role of Anne Frank by making "money-grubbing Jew shyster" crack in front of everyone
-Brittany gets Anne Frank role
-*Mr. Anderson embarasses Brittany in front of everyone*
-Kimberly promises Brittany they'll get revenge on Mr. Anderson

And so on...my question is, how did Kimberly know that Mr. Anderson would do something to make Brittany feel so uncomfortable and terrible that she would agree to partake in the scheme? Kimberly made it seem like she had it all planned out, but I can't imagine how she could have guessed that Mr. Anderson would embarass Brittany in the way that he did. Thanks.

Just guessing, because it wasn't really spelled out in the movie itself. She knew Mr. Anderson and his methods from first hand experience. She knew of Brittany's tendency to overreact under pressure. She couldn't have predicted the actual event that would blow Brittany's mind, but she knew there would be one.

I agree. She didn't know. Mr. Anderson just walked right into it and she ran with it.

Yeah, that's what I think - notice how when Brittany starts unbuttoning he shirt Kimberly leans forward and sits up more.
