The Guardian reported that two white students at the University of Mississippi were captured making offensive monkey gestures in a Ring video that has prompted a school investigation. The report described the footage as "widely panned."
According to the same report, freshman Jakiyra Metcalf uploaded the surveillance clip, recorded from her apartment door, to TikTok on Saturday. The material reviewed for this story begins to describe what the clip shows but does not finish that description.
The report said the two women are reportedly upstairs neighbors of three Black students, one of whom uploaded the video to TikTok. The report's wording on that relationship is qualified, and the material reviewed for this story does not show any independent confirmation of it.
The material reviewed for this story does not name the two students, describe the findings or scope of the school investigation, or state what the university has said about the video. Those details may appear in the full report, which was not available in full for this account.
The report was written by Uwa Ede-Osifo. The account above reflects the report's summary and headline rather than its complete text, and The American Packet has not separately verified its details.
Where the report and other coverage may differ, this account has no second source to compare against, so no discrepancies can be identified from the material reviewed.
