**COLUMBUS, OH** – A viral video showing a white woman, Michelle Bishop, racially profiling a Black man, Mike Jenkins, at his own Ohio home has sparked outrage and led to a public apology. The incident, which occurred in November 2024, was captured on Jenkins’ Ring doorbell camera.
The video shows Bishop, accompanied by her children, arriving at Jenkins’ home and questioning his residency after initially suspecting he was following her. Despite Jenkins confirming his ownership of the property, Bishop stated, “I don’t believe that.” Jenkins’ wife intervened to de-escalate the situation.
Following the video’s release online, Bishop initially denied being racist on Facebook, offering only a conditional apology for how her actions were perceived.

She expressed regret for her actions and the impact on Jenkins and his family.
Jenkins, a Black real estate developer, took to Instagram to express pride in his calm response to the incident, highlighting his personal growth and ability to maintain composure in a challenging situation.
