White University of Kentucky student Sophia Rosing was arrested after viral video showed her drunkenly assaulting a Black student and repeatedly calling her the n-word.

A White student from the University of Kentucky was arrested for verbally and physically assaulting a Black student who was working a desk clerk shift at the school's dormitory.

The intoxicated suspect–a 22-year-old identified by local station WLKY as Sophia Rosing–was initially booked into the Fayette County Jail under the name "Jane Doe."


She was charged with assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of a police officer in Sunday's early-morning racist incident.

Rosing was caught on film wrestling the Black student and repeatedly calling her the n-word.

The assaulted student—a freshman identified as Kylah Spring—explained she initially didn't allow Rosing to enter the dorm because she "did not look like she was a resident" and did not have proper identification.

Rosing, who did not provide the required identification and was very intoxicated, managed to enter the building and stumbled her way to the elevator.

Things escalated from there.

WARNING: racial slurs, violence

Spring contacted her resident advisor as part of a safety protocol after trying to prevent Rosing from entering an elevator.

Rosing started verbally abusing Spring by using the racial slur and ordering her to "do her chores." According to the charges against her, Rosing also punched Spring in the face, kicked her in the stomach, bit her arm and tried to run her over using a nearby shopping cart in the lobby of the building.

When other students intervened to deescalate the situation, they too were attacked.

Spring recorded a video explaining what happened.

Twitter predicted what would happen next.

Rosing would apologize with qualifiers, blame alcohol, proclaim she's not racist then cry victim.


According to the arrest citation, Rosing told officers she "has lots of money and gets special treatment."

The citation also reported she kicked and bit a police officer during her arrest part of which can be seen below.

WARNING: racial slur



The university launched an investigation after the video went viral.

University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto issued a statement saying the actions seen in the viral clip were:

"Deeply antithetical to what we are and what we always want to be as a community."

People noticed a glaring omission from her charges of assault: hate crime.

This was not the first time Rosing caused a scene.

According to Rosing's now private social media accounts she was a student influencer for Dillard's.

The chain has since cut ties with Rosing.

Rosing was scheduled to appear in court on November 7 for her arraignment.

On Monday night, Spring—the young woman Rosing assaulted—spoke at a March Against Racism rally at the University of Kentucky’s library.

The college freshman told the gathered crowd:

"My name is Kylah Spring."
"This is a recurring issue in and around American school systems no matter what age."
"I am deeply saddened by the events that took place, but I am most grateful for justice that is to come.
"And to Miss Rosing, you will not break my spirit."

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
