Ole Miss student’s doorbell camera recording sparks outrage

The footage reached far beyond the apartment door. A doorbell camera recording posted by Ole Miss student Jakiyra Metcalf shows racially offensive gestures outside a Black student's apartment, prompting an investigation by the University of Mississippi.

Good Morning America's report opens with the recording, which captures chest-beating and monkey noises. ABC News correspondent Faith Abubey explains the racist meaning of the behavior and sets out the university's response.

University spokesperson Jacob Batte condemned the conduct as offensive, hurtful and unacceptable, saying it conflicts with the institution's values. The report also includes archival footage from a separate campus racial incident in May 2024.

GMA's Short drew about 188,000 views in 14 hours, far beyond its usual first-day audience for the format. Its comment section was also much busier than usual, with calls for disciplinary action and questions about the university's response.

Abubey reports that officials have contacted the students targeted in the recording and offered support resources. The segment reports an investigation, not a disciplinary outcome.
