Story summary

The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) launched an investigation after a video showing two white female students making monkey sounds and gestures near the apartment of Black students went viral on social media. The incident occurred on November 6, 2026, around 8:37 PM, as captured by a Ring doorbell camera outside Jakiyra Metcalf's apartment. Alaina Kunes, one of the individuals in the video, issued an apology and stated she was unaware of the racial implications at the time but did not admit to intentional racism. Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Shawnboda Mead condemned the behavior, emphasizing the university’s commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment. In response to widespread backlash, Kunes has withdrawn from the university temporarily. Her family's business, the Wisconsin-based Kunes Auto Group, is now facing legal challenges related to racism claims.
