Sophia Rosing was banned from the University of Kentucky campus after the incident
A college student who went on a drunken tirade using the n-word 200 times will now head to jail for a year.
Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, became infamous in 2022 for her rant that was captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught using the slur at a fellow student and assaulting her.
Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. When she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.
This week, a judge in Kentucky sentenced Rosing to 12 months in custody and 100 hours of community service, according to Lex 18.
…
In the infamous video Spring said that Rosing struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring is explaining what happened to her, Rosing can be heard yelling at her in the background, calling the Black student the n-word and a “b****” throughout the footage.
Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.
This isn’t a joke, I seriously think this will happen.
She’s pretty and blond and an idiot. She’ll be on Fox News as a host shortly after.
At this point, i genuinely trust that could be a realistic outcome. That episode may have been her very own Rittenhouse Moment™ putting her on conservative radars across the country
A whole year? Somebody is optimistic.
Yeah she was probably a good Christian too
The woke liberals are trying to cancel her for the innocent act of being a racist asshole who assaulted a black woman! They’re out of control!
!remindme 1 year
(we need this bot! I have no programming knowledge or skills but I’m going to make this happen one way or another)
there is a way:
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year
I don’t see anything… Does it work?
yes, you get a PM from the bot :-)
It should just post a reply and offer a link for people to also subscribe to the same reminder. But I’m not complaining, just talking in ideal scenarios
I would imagine that is her plan all along
Interesting that the Independent made sure to mention that this student was drunk not once, but twice, as if that were an excuse.
No one says that word when drunk if they wouldn’t be willing to say it out loud in certain company.
Her being drunk is relevant to reporting the truth. They’re not excusing her actions but giving context. As you pointed out, she may never have said these slurs in her open life, but she was probably thinking them and alcohol greased the wheels on her racism.
That’s some serious grease. To go from zero n-words sober to two hundred times drunk?
Nah, it’s pretty normal.
You see it a lot with people who are generally seen as “nice people” when not drunk and then turn into very violent people when the are drunk (a member of my family was like that).
A lot of people run around with pretty nasty issues that they do not act on because of social inhibitions and/or awareness of the social consequences of acting on those, and alcohol lowers those inhibitions and the “think twice before you open your mouth” that makes people take those secondary implications they’re aware of into account - alcohol just takes away the internal overseer that was stopping them to be who they really are.
This is not excusing their actions: when not drunk those people are NOT nice inside, they just act nicer than they are because they know the consequences of doing otherwise and don’t want to feel social shame, or in other words their being “nice” is just a mask and they’ll probably act on those not nice things in their minds if they feel they can get away with it (IMHO, this is why some people who are nice, meek and even submissiness when powerless, turn very nasty when they find themselves in a position of power).
No it’s true. A relative of mine is like this as well, unfortunately.
Mentioning it once is relevant. Mentioning it twice is trying to use it as an excuse.
I think you may be forgetting that if you’re drunk, the consequences can’t get you.
That’s true. Good point.
Ah, but the rhythm will get you. Tonight.
This is from the Romanian penal code so it may be inaccurate for other countries. I am also not qualified to do anything related to law
If you are under the effects of a substance, you can be considered not breaking the law in some conditions
In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.
Anyone else getting serious larval-stage-Marjorie-Taylor-Greene vibes from this mug shot or just me?

Hey you leave them out of this. Ocean Avenue is a treasure.
I’m getting “crazy ex girlfriend” vibes from her. The type that would fake a pregnancy, break out your car windows, and stalk you for years after the fact.
I’m reminded of the “Asians in the library” chick from like 10 years ago or something.

I’m very confused here. She is white, pretty, and went before a Kentucky Judge. How was she sentenced to anything?
/s
How rich is her father?
You’re asking the right questions. Not rich enough, apparently
I guess he was rich enough for 150 slurs, but she had to cross the limit.
Regardless, I would put good money on her being in a sorority.

That’s a bingo
Gotta be able to say “see, impartial.”
3 words: national media attention
Imagine saying the n-word 100 times in an assault on someone and only being halfway done. 😬
how long was the assault? That’s like dozens of hard Rs per minute. What a psycho.
I imagine it was a lot of 'ga’s too.
10 minutes. That’s one every 3 seconds…
Those are all the stifled n-words shes been holding back thus far in her brief lifespan thus far. They all came out at once
How far?
Thusly
Ah now it’s clear, thank you kind patron.
How was this not elevated to a hate crime? That sentance is weak sauce for a racially motivated attack
It’s hard not to just be blunt here. She’s a white girl. Sentencing guidelines and police protocols are different for people matching that description. It’s a known, researched phenomenon.
It’s not unreasonable to say that the police work for non-impoverished, non-overweight white women. It’s noticeable in how quick white women are to call the police and think the police will help with a problem.
Statistically, you are roughly about 1000% more likely to experience police violence if you are not a white woman.
That is apparently determined at sentencing in Kentucky.

So blame the judge.
However, Spring said after the plea hearing that she did not believe Rosing was remorseful.
Yeah, I can look at that mugshot and tell she’s not. Glad (and surprised) she got actual punishment.
Edit: I’m making the assumption that’s the reflection of a bright orange jumper I see at the bottom of the photo, and the typical blandly colored cinderblock wall in the background.
That is the sort of smug little smirk that says, “that n- deserved what she got.” No remorse at all.
💯
The smug satisfaction of someone who knows she has a career as a Fox News anchor or Repub politician on lock.

Eh. Maybe a glass or two. At this level, you’re just fishing around for violent thrills.
I had a family member that invariably turned violent when drunk (but only towards his wife) but wasn’t at all like that when sober.
I’ve also been drunk and several levels and around people at various level of drunkness, have done so in various countries and retain just as well in memory what happens when I am drunk (even at the “end up in hospital from alcohol intoxication” extreme) as when I’m not, though because I also remember well how it felt, I feel no regret for the crazy shit I did when drunk.
From my own observation it’s not normal for most people to seek violent thrills when drunk, though I’ve seen it happen more in certain countries than others, so it might be a cultural thing. Also those who do turn violent when drunk are roughly split into three groups: those who go for violence against equally minded people for the fun of it (which are probably the ones you’re thinking of), those who have pent up aggression and when drunk dump it on some hapless victim (which seems to be this lady) and those acting some power fantasies (i.e. when drunk in a group were they feel safe from reprisals they turn violent but alone they don’t).
Personally I’m fine with the first kind (who am I to judge what consenting adults do to each other, including violence), but the other two are just bullies who normally are too afraid or self-repressed to act on their true nature.
It’s like 4 minutes of straight up repeating the n-word. Besides her racism, how fucked up she was to vomit out that long of a manifesto?
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
Who counted the N words
Hopefully lawyers that can fine her separately for each and every one.
can you get fined for saying a word in a country with the first amendment? how dumb is this even if what she did was wrong its not illegal to say the N word. The assault however she should get in legal trouble for.
The N word proves it was racially motivated.
Probably not, but I would love to see this somehow turned into part of the assault since that barrier was broken here thus making her actions criminal.
No, you can’t get fined for saying the N-word in the US. But, repeatedly shouting it while committing an assault pretty conclusively demonstrates it was a racially motivated assault, and lots of jurisdictions in the US have laws that aggravate a crime or add an additional charge if the crime was motivated by hatred of a protected class.
Those laws can (but almost never are) applied even if the member of the protected class is male, white, etc. I think the last time I heard of someone being given hate crime charges for doing something to a white victim was the 2017 Chicago torture case where the crime was streamed on Facebook. Two black men and two black women were involved, the men received bail of $800k and $900k, the women bail of $500k and $200k - in the end all did plea deals with the men getting 7 and 8 years in prison and the women 4 years of probation and 3 years of prison. Which demonstrates neatly how much sex plays into punishment in the US, since they were all part of the same case doing the same crimes.
I don’t know but they beat me to it.
I suppose it might have been videoed.
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
All that hideousness and just gets a year of jail and 100 hours of community service. Fucking Kentucky pantywaist conservative judge.
I’ll never get the American mindset which considers “used the n-word 200 times” the main offense, the one worthy to be in the headline, while “struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach” is just a minor detail that happens to be mentioned somewhere in the article as an afterthought.
It also only serves to continue fueling the polarization of the right. They point and say “See! They will put you in jail simply for saying words!” And since many don’t bother to open the article, it spreads and spreads and fuels their fear factory.
It feels like “responsible journalism” is a thing of the past in the face of appeasing the Algorithm.
200 times?
Over the course of 10 minutes. That means she said it about every 3 seconds…
