Lane Kiffin’s daughter targeted by ‘vulgar’ bed sheet taunts hanging at Ole Miss before rivalry showdown
LSU head football coach Lane Kiffin’s daughter, Landry Kiffin, said she was hurt after being the target of inappropriate taunting and sexual jokes ahead of his return to Oxford.
Landry — who is a student at Ole Miss and the girlfriend of LSU linebacker Whit Weeks — explained in a TikTok video that she was sent photos of banners with vulgar messages about her and someone she had never met that were hung on houses around Oxford.
“I opened my phone this morning to pictures of banners on houses around Oxford posted on different accounts saying really inappropriate things about me and with somebody that genuinely I have never met in my life which makes it even more frustrating to say the least,” Landry said.
“I think that turning a girl into the punch line of a sexual joke because you’re upset at somebody someone she’s related to should not be OK. I understand emotional are high this week and people are upset but I am my own person.
“I’ll just never understand how someone can feel good about themselves putting such vulgar things about a girl on a giant banner hanging from their house. I feel like that’s really mind-blowing to me. I just hope people realize there is an actual person behind the jokes that they make.”
Landry did not name the person she was linked to in the banner.
She added that she’s loved her time at Ole Miss, which made the matter more upsetting.
“Let’s do better,” she wrote in her caption.
Kiffin will return to Mississippi for Saturday’s game after he bolted to LSU in November and took six assistant coaches with him.
Police presence is expected to be heavy for the rivalry showdown in Oxford.
Kiffin — who agreed to a seven-year contract with LSU that will pay him $13 million annually — announced he was taking his talents to Baton Rouge in a social media post following the Rebels’ 38-19 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State on Nov. 28.
Since then, Kiffin discussed his exit in a Vanity Fair feature — and he was embroiled in legal battle as the SEC sued LSU over the coach’s plan to roster two former NFL players this season.
The federal court matter ended when LSU and Kiffin backed down from adding former pro players.
The Tigers targeted Kiffin in their coaching search after firing Brian Kelly in October.
In six seasons in Oxford, Kiffin led the Rebels to a 55-19 mark.
