OLE MISS STUDENT’S FAMILY SAYS VIDEO HAS BEEN SHARED WITH UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION

A University of Mississippi student’s Ring camera captured three women walking past her apartment door on Friday, November 6. In the video, two of the women appear to make monkey noises and gestures. The third is seen with them but does not appear to join in.

The student’s mother says her daughter is a freshman and shares the apartment with two Black roommates. She says the women seen in the footage live upstairs from them. The mother called the behavior “disgusting and unacceptable” in a Facebook post and said the family has shared the video with university administration. She is asking what steps the university will take to address the incident and ensure accountability.

The video was posted by student Jakiyra Metcalf, who tagged Ole Miss and called attention to what the camera captured. The footage has spread widely online, with viewers criticizing the conduct and urging the university to respond.

As of the reports available, the university had not publicly confirmed the identities of the women or announced any action. The family says they want answers and accountability.
