Ole Miss student, who is from Wisconsin, leaves university after viral doorbell video
Alaina Kunes apologized after the clip drew national criticism, and the university said the behavior was deeply troubling and remains under investigation.
- Tom Hennessey launched the 'Stand With Lauren' GiveSendGo campaign to assist student Lauren Mayfield, raising over $18,000 toward a $20,000 goal following backlash from a viral video.
- The controversy stems from November 6 Ring camera footage shared on TikTok by resident Jakiyra Metcalf, showing three students making offensive gestures and animal noises outside an apartment occupied by Black students at the University of Mississippi.
- On November 10, freshman Alaina Kunes, 18, publicly apologized, describing her actions as 'insensitive, inappropriate and deeply harmful,' and confirmed she has withdrawn from the University of Mississippi.
- The University of Mississippi is actively investigating the 'deeply troubling, hurtful, and unacceptable' behavior, while the Black Student Union demands disciplinary actions proportionate to the race-based harassment.
- Hennessey faces criticism for making financial support conditional on Mayfield not apologizing, explicitly reserving the right to cancel the fundraiser if she 'bent the knee' or disavowed his support.
