Ole Miss investigates video showing women making racist gestures outside student apartment
The university says it is investigating the clip and has reached out to the students targeted as the video drew millions of views online.
- On Friday, Nov. 6, University of Mississippi student Jakiyra Metcalf shared Ring doorbell footage showing three women making monkey noises outside her apartment, drawing about 9.5 million views on TikTok.
- Condemning the behavior as "racist harassment," former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho argued that racism is a "conscious, active decision to weaponize history" rather than accident.
- Denying involvement, Alpha Phi's University of Mississippi chapter stated online rumors caused "real distress" to members and urged the public to stop circulating false identifications.
- Ole Miss officials are investigating the incident, which spokesperson Jacob Batte called "offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable," though FERPA protections limit what the school can publicly disclose.
- This incident recalls a May 2024 controversy involving a student mocking a Black graduate, echoing the university's difficult history with race dating back to 1962 as Metcalf awaits findings.
