The idea of an "economic blackout"—a 24-hour boycott of consumer spending—has gained traction in recent times, fueled by social media activism and growing discontent with corporate influence on society. 

Social Media Erupts Over Alleged Ole Miss Scandal: The SEC Burnerverse’s Latest Obsession

 Every day, the internet picks a new main character, and today, it’s an Ole Miss student caught in a whirlwind of drama, rumors, and memes. If you’ve been anywhere near Twitter in the past 24 hours, you’ve probably seen the story flooding timelines: a young woman from Ole Miss allegedly got a little too close to her boyfriend’s father.

What Happened?

The scandal broke when a viral Snapchat message made its way across social media. According to the message, the girlfriend—who we won’t name for privacy reasons—was attending a youth basketball game with her boyfriend’s dad and his younger daughter. After dropping the little sister off at home, the two reportedly decided to grab dinner and drinks together. And that’s when things allegedly took a turn for the scandalous.

Details are still murky, and as with any internet-fueled drama, speculation is rampant. However, the message claims that the two ended up hooking up, and somehow, the boyfriend found out. While most would expect an immediate breakup, the wildest part of the story is that the boyfriend supposedly decided to stay with her, despite his dad’s betrayal.

Fallout & Internet Frenzy

The SEC burnerverse, a network of anonymous accounts that thrive on sharing rumors and drama from Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools, has gone into overdrive with this one. The situation, now dubbed “Daddygate”, has taken over social media, with the girl’s name reportedly trending #1 in the U.S.

On-campus reactions have been just as intense. During an Ole Miss baseball game, the student section was allegedly chanting the girl’s name, solidifying her status as a campus legend—whether she wanted it or not.

Meanwhile, Twitter is flooded with memes comparing the father to Bill Belichick, known for his much younger girlfriend, while others are roasting the boyfriend for staying in the relationship. The dad, for his part, didn’t escape unscathed. Reports suggest that his wife is now divorcing him, not just because of this alleged incident, but because of previous infidelities.
