A Kentucky fan has issued an apology after directing a racial slur at Tennessee fan late in last night’s loss at Rupp Arena.

The fan’s actions were caught on video by at least two other fans.

Here’s the apology via LEX 18:

LEX 18 reached out to a spokesperson for the athletics department on Wednesday. Although they did not release an official statement, they did say they were investigating the incident and there would be consequences. The woman is not a season ticket holder.

After LEX 18 posted the video, a woman identifying herself as Ashley Lyles issued an apology for her behavior.
