Mary Kate Cornett, a University of Mississippi student, and her boyfriend, Evan Solis, are speaking out against false rumors that went viral online. The rumors allege Cornett had a relationship with Solis's father. Both Cornett and Solis have vehemently denied these claims, calling them "unacceptable" and "unequivocally false." Cornett specifically criticized Pat McAfee, Antonio Brown, and Barstool Sports for amplifying the rumors. While Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy denied involvement, McAfee's show and Barstool personalities did discuss the rumor. Cornett has started a GoFundMe page, stating she's been the victim of a "deliberate and coordinated cyber attack" and has hired legal and forensic investigators. She and her family have filed reports with the University of Mississippi campus police, local authorities, and the FBI. Cornett expressed hope that this experience will help others who face similar online attacks.
