Black Ole Miss students say they immediately confronted classmates who made monkey noises - and one kept doing it

Key Points:

Black Ole Miss freshmen Jakiyra Metcalf and Victoria Johnson were harassed by three white women making racist monkey noises outside their apartment, with only one, Alaina Kunes, apologizing afterward.
Kunes, who has since left the University of Mississippi, admitted her actions were insensitive and harmful, issuing a public apology and citing death threats to her family as a reason for dropping out.
The second woman involved refused to stop making racist gestures despite Kunes' apology, according to Metcalf, who confronted her about the disrespectful behavior.
The university’s vice chancellor for student affairs condemned the incident as "deeply troubling" and confirmed an active investigation, emphasizing that such behavior contradicts the institution’s values.
The identities of the other two women in the video remain unknown, and Kunes is the only one to have publicly acknowledged her involvement.
