As parents of Longwood students headed back home after a long parent’s weekend, students prepared to “turn up” in order to relieve stress. One such student was that of Rebecca Kinkade, a resident of Frazer Hall who reported being “totally wasted” on Saturday night. However, this story took a dark turn when eyewitness reports claimed they saw Kinkade consume very little alcohol.
On Saturday September 19 Kinkade was spotted stumbling, dancing and laughing while walking up and down Buffalo street. Sources close to the scene reported this statement of Kinkade.
“Omg I am totally wasty pants right now,” said Kinkade. She went on to say, “Should I text Jeff? I am going to text Jeff.”
The ‘Jeff’ she is referring to is none other than Jeff Bock, a freshman at James Madison University, and according to Kinkade’s Facebook page he’s her ex-boyfriend. Bock confirmed that Kinkade did reach out to him on Saturday night around one in the morning.
“Yeah she was texting me, she seemed pretty drunk I guess. All of her words were misspelled which is weird cause autocorrect usually fixes but, yeah, whatever,” said Bock.
While Kinkade continues to stand by the story that she was intoxicated, some sources close to her feel that the level of her alcohol intake does not add up. Kinkade’s friend Sarah Fips reported only seeing Kinkade consume two Mike’s Hard Lemonades, which contain only five percent alcohol per bottle. Kinkade’s other acquaintance, Patrick Morrison, reported even less, only one and a half Mike’s Hard Lemonades.
“So she had finished half a bottle when she started pretending to slur her words and asking the house dj to play ‘Anaconda’ on an endless loop. I mean I love Rebecca but who was she kidding?” said Fips.
“Seriously she didn't even finish her second drink,” said Morrison, “but I had like… a whole Four Loko so I was definitely pretty messed up.”
On Sunday morning, September 20, Kinkade was spotted in Dorrill Dining Hall at noon. Those who saw her said she seemed to being exhibiting the classic signs of a hangover. Kinkade was seen wearing oversized sunglasses indoors with her hair thrown up in a messy fashion. She was overheard telling the group that she was dining with that she “totally vommed last night.”
Kinkade’s roommate, Liz Garett, claimed that Kinkade came home around three in the morning and read quietly before going to bed. Garett said there was no sign of any vomiting that had supposedly occurred. When asked about these claims Kinkade declined to comment.
