The mom of a black Ole Miss freshman who filmed white co-eds making racist monkey noises and gestures outside of their apartment revealed Wednesday that she hates that one of the students has withdrawn from the campus.

The unidentified parent expressed regret over Alaina Kunes’s decision to terminate her studies at the University of Mississippi — just three months after starting at the Oxford, Miss., university.

“I hate that she withdrew from the school,” the parent told CBS Mornings. “You see what I’m saying, because the course of her life, that’s going to affect her too.

“That’s somebody’s child, so that bothers me because I don’t like to see kids – you know, you just started, these babies, they’re 18. So I hate that for the young people. I wish people [would] be mindful and just think.”

Kunes, an 18-year-old Wisconsin native, cited safety and harassment concerns for dropping out after identifying herself as one of the three white women in the now-viral clip.

However, one of the three freshmen who live in the residence claimed Kunes’ move was right for “her peace and safety.”

Kunes issued a groveling apology via the law firm, Gardiner Koch Weisberg & Wrona, after fessing up to being one of the women involved.

“To the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize,” she said.

“Before the incident on November 6, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race, however, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful. I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures toward a person of color.“I have apologized to the women and I pray they will forgive me. I can never truly understand the pain I have caused them and it was never my intention.
