An Ole Miss student caught on camera making monkey noises outside a black student's apartment claims she was unaware of her neighbor's race.

A video of three white college girls at the University of Mississippi circulated earlier this week, showing them walking by an apartment building, making monkey noises and beating on their chests.

The behavior was caught on a Ring camera and posted online. Jakiyra Metcalf, who's also a student at the university, shared the footage online with the caption: 'What do we have to say about this?'

Metcalf wrote in the comments that the incident unfolded outside her apartment, and she later realized the three girls were her upstairs neighbors. The complex is off-campus, but the university said it leases student housing there.

Tasha Bolton, Metcalf's mother, shared online that her daughter is a freshman at the school and lives in the unit with two other black students.

Alaina Kunes, the first girl who walks by the camera in the video, has now said that she did not know who lived in the apartment or the tenants' races.

'I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures toward a person of color,' she said in a statement to Action News 5. '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,' she continued.
