Sophia Rosing, a 22-year-old racist white student of University of Kentucky has been arrested and charged after video shows her attacking a Black student and calling her a “n***** b****” in an incident early Sunday that has since gone viral.
Sophia Rosing, was arrested at a campus residence hall around 4 a.m. on charges of assault, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and assault on a police officer, according to online arrest records.
According to New York Post, her bond was set at $10,000. As of Monday, it was still unclear whether or not she has been or will be expelled from the university.
Video shows a highly intoxicated Rosing, stumbling into the university’s Boyd Hall, where Kylah Spring was working at the dormitory’s front desk.
Spring explained in a TikTok video that she tried to check on the woman, but was instead physically assaulted and called a series of disgusting racist slurs.
“Could you stop, please?” Spring asked Rosing after she tried to take a swing at her, one video shows.
“Nope,” Sophia Rosing replied. “You’re a n***** and you’re a b****.”
Spring, somehow remaining calm throughout all of it, replied. “Oh Jesus Lord, I do not get paid enough for this.” “I got this all on video,” another voice off-camera said.
Another student attempted to help Spring place Rosing in a seat, prompting her to start swinging on them. Rosing kicked Spring before trying to push a shopping cart at them, additional footage shows.
In her TikTok video, Spring said Rosing punched her several times, bit her arm and kicked her in the stomach.
Amidst the assault, Rosing told her to do her chores, adding “it’s not my fault that you’re Black.”
“The girl starts saying things like ‘Do my chores,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re Black,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re ugly,’ and at this point she’s like singing the n-word,” Spring said.
Police eventually arrived on scene and cuffed Sophia Rosing, who continued to use the n-word while refusing to provide the officers with her name.
“Hey, guess what? You’re going to jail,” the arresting officer told Rosing.
Sophia Rosing denies being racist
She also reportedly kicked and bit a police officer, leading to a charge of assault on a police officer.
She has since apologized for her actions, writing she “lost everything” and has to “fear for her life” since the incident went viral.
“I understand an apology may not help but I am not racist. I was under the influence (and) I lost everything literally and now have to fear for my life. God forgives me, please understand,” Sophia Rosing wrote.
However, she had been kicked out of an area bar recently for using racial sluts according to a tweet, with a photo of her being tossed by a bouncer making the rounds on social media.
