I know that bulling is a big issue these days. That said, I do not want to fix this for Toria but I am really not sure what to do. I asked Toria if she had spoken to her mom about it. She said she has not. I asked her if she planned to. She said no and asked me not to saying anything to her mom about it.

As for the current situation...Yeah...Know that one. In my situation, we discussed the friends motives, etc...and then I let Courtney decide if she wanted to continue the friendship. She ended the friendship (and a couple more since). She made the decision that people who behave in this manner....aren't really friends. I did keep an eye on the situation (if it had escalated I would have stepped in), but she handled it herself.
That's exactly how I would have handled it. Heck, that is how I have handled similar. My philosophy is that I'm helping my child become an adult and to learn how to handle siutations such as this. There will be more. I take the approach that you can't avoid things, so it's better for all concerned if you learn to navigate through them.
My first teen didn't learn that very well. We're divorced now But my other two learned it well and practice that often with good success.
