Ole Miss Student Apologizes For Making Monkey Noises Outside Of Black Students House, Saying She Didn’t Know Who Lived There [VIDEO]

The University of Mississippi has now launched an investigation following a video that went viral showing two white women making monkey noises and gestures as they walk past an apartment where Black students reside. The resident Jakiyra Metcalf shared the disturbing footage on TikTok and tagged The University of Mississippi demanding answers, prompting outrage and renewed questions about racial harassment at the University of Mississippi.  One of the students in the video is now apologizing saying that she didn’t know who lived there.

Alaina Kunes, an 18-year-old freshman at Ole Miss, released a statement claiming she had never met the women who lived in the apartment and had no idea what race they were before the November 6 incident.  Kunes insists her actions were not meant to target anyone based on race, however she does admit her behavior was offensive and hurtful. She also claims she would never intentionally make those gestures toward a person of color and says she has personally apologized to the women involved.  Alaina Kunes also revealed that she and her family have allegedly received death threats and harassment since the footage went viral.
