An Ole Miss student who allegedly doubled down on making monkey gestures when confronted by three black students has raised thousands of dollars in a fundraiser launched by a well-known troll.
The controversial GiveSendGo page created to support the blonde woman seen in a now-viral Ring-doorbell-camera clip of the hateful behavior had raked in $20,000 of its initial $50,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon.
“She did nothing wrong. She did not assault anyone. She did not break any law. She made noises in a public walkway. The rest is a campus bureaucracy and online mob treating a juvenile stunt as a hate crime because the residents were black,” reads a bio for the GiveSendGo, which was created late Tuesday by a self-proclaimed “independent journalist.”
The man who launched the fundraiser encouraged “segregation” and mocked a black Ole Miss student in social media posts.
His controversial GiveSendGo for the student “is to cover lost income or opportunities, and anything else required so she does not have to fold. No apologies. No ‘I didn’t know.’ No bending the knee.
“Donate so the next girl (or guy) who gets the same treatment has a reason not to issue the scripted statement,” the fundraiser proclaims.
The fundraiser’s goal was later updated to $75,000.
The Post could not confirm the identity of the blonde woman in the video — though online sleuths claimed she is a 19-year-old from a suburb of Memphis.
The three black roommates revealed what their Ring camera did not capture that night, during their first sit-down interview with CBS Mornings on Wednesday.
“We actually went outside and tried to, like, approach them and get them to explain why they did that,” said Jakiyra Metcalf, who shared the clip on TikTok.
The first woman seen in the video, Alaina Kunes, offered both an apology and excuse for the racist stunt, according to roommate Victoria Johnson.
“One girl was apologizing. She was like, ‘I’m sorry, we did that to like four doors.’ And, mind you, we didn’t see anyone else’s door – it was just ours that was targeted. And she was like ‘We didn’t mean any harm,’” Johnson said.
But the blonde offender, who is seen making the hateful gestures next in the video, doubled down on the gimmick.
“She continued to make the gestures after [Kunes] was apologizing – so it was like a slap in the face,” Johnson said.
Kunes is the only one out of the trio of women seen in the video that has publicly confirmed her involvement in the disgusting scene. She released a statement apologizing for her actions on Tuesday, when it was also revealed that she has since voluntarily left the university.
Officials at Ole Miss announced on Monday that they were launching an investigation into the sickening incident.
