Problem Statement

Many people use the social network "BWM". It is known that: By choosing any four people of that network there always is one that is a friend of the other three. Is it then true that by choosing any four people there always is one that is a friend of everyone in "BWM"?
Note: If member AA is a friend of member BB, then member BB also is a friend of member AA.
