Ring camera catches ‘white Ole Miss coeds’ making monkey noises outside black students’ apartment

A Ring camera video shared by University of Mississippi student Jakiyra Metcalf appears to show two women making monkey noises and beating their chests outside an apartment shared by three Black students. The footage has prompted widespread anger online and an investigation by the university.

Metcalf said the women were her upstairs neighbours. The video, dated 6 November 2026, had received more than 11 million views; the women’s identities have not been confirmed. The university condemned the behaviour and said it had contacted the students targeted to offer information, resources and support.
