    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 .

    After her previous plea hearing, her attorney, Fred Peters, told local media how the plea was reached with both sides participating.

    "A lot of things got said, apologies were made and we worked it out," Peters said of the session. "She has had a lot of time to think about what she has done, and she wrote a nice letter of apology."

    However, Spring said after the plea hearing that she did not believe Rosing was remorseful.

    Rosing was banned from the Kentucky campus after the incident.

    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.

    She uses the racial slur approximately 200 times over the course of the video.

    If this is true, she should be made to every day of her sentence. Anyone that attacks & hurts a person needs to do every day & not given credit 1 for 3. She doesn't have an excuse because being drunk is bullshit, she's a racist lil bitch! I'm proud that UK banned her! She's the perfect example of an ignorant, racist lil bitch! I don't think she would be remorseful if she hadn't gone to jail. This is exactly why we can't all come together & be as 1! We all bleed red, so stop the racial fighting & let's all treat each other with respect!

    She got what she deserved! Now, she's going to jail, and she better hope no one in jail remembers her story. But I know one of the guards is going to tell someone. They are going to mess with her every day. Since she likes to fight...it shouldn't be an issue for her. I'm surprised her rich daddy couldn't save her.
