Story summary

In late February 2026, Lane Kiffin, the head coach of the LSU Tigers, was set to return to Oxford where he previously coached at Ole Miss. Around this time, his daughter Landry Kiffin, a senior student still attending Ole Miss, became the target of harassment on campus. Students hung vulgar bed sheet banners accusing her of having sexual relations with a former Ole Miss player. In response, Landry took to TikTok and denied any involvement with the player in question, expressing frustration at being targeted by people she had never met. She emphasized that these actions make her feel like "a punchline of a sexual joke" and hoped others would realize there is an actual person behind such jokes. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between LSU and Ole Miss fans following Kiffin's move to LSU.
