Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media, prompting a response from the institution\u2019s leadership. Sophia Rosing arrested as assault video goes viral on TikTok In an online statement, University of Kentucky president Eli Capilouto said: \u201cEarly this morning, an incident involving violence against our students, racial slurs and offensive language occurred in one of our residence halls. One of the victims was a student employee who was working an overnight shift at the front desk. \u201cTo be clear: we condemn this behavior and will not tolerate it under any circumstance. The safety and well-being of our community has been \u2014 and will continue to be \u2014 our top priority.\u201d The University also posted further statements on Twitter, stating that Student Success teams will offer support to victims who were subject to this behavior. As seen in footage posted by Huff Post\u2019s senior front page editor Phillip Lewis, the student was swinging at a colleague, who maintained a professional manner despite the encounter. WKYT has also reported that Rosing\u2019s LinkedIn page shows she was working as an influencer on campus in a program by College Fashionista and their parent company, Her Campus Media. Since the arrest, they immediately cut ties with Sophia. A statement reads: \u201cToday we learned of a video involving a College Fashionista member physically and verbally assaulting two Black women. At Her Campus Media and College Fashionista, we vehemently denounce this abhorrent behavior and do not condone racism or hate in any form. We unapologetically stand in support of BIPOC communities and affirm that Black lives matter. Full stop. \u201cImmediately upon being informed of the incident, we removed the member from our community and terminated her affiliation with any of our programs.\u201d She faces multiple charges, including alcohol intoxication in a public place, disorderly conduct, 4th-degree assault, and 3rd-degree assault (of a police officer). Her bond has been set at $10,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
