It’s the kind of Deep South drama that feels ripped straight from a Faulkner fever dream—whiskey-soaked betrayal, family turmoil, and a digital-age scarlet letter.
Mary Kate Cornett, an Ole Miss student, just found herself at the center of social media’s latest morality play, trending on X (formerly Twitter) on February 26 after allegations surfaced that she took a sharp detour on the classic college sweetheart path—right into the arms of her boyfriend’s father.
The scandal has snowballed at breakneck speed, transforming into a full-blown digital spectacle, complete with meme coins and internet sleuths salivating over every new detail.
The bombshell started with a viral post from X user @MAGAgeddon, who claimed Cornett was intimately involved with her boyfriend Evan’s father—none other than Private Banker Erik Solis. The post featured a screenshot of a Snapchat message suggesting Cornett had wrapped up her exams early and decided to take Evan’s younger sister to a basketball game, with none other than dear old dad in tow. That innocent outing allegedly escalated into drinks later that night, where the affair is said to have kicked off.
From there, things only got murkier. The viral thread alleged that Solis, a seasoned veteran in the art of infidelity, reassured Cornett that she wasn’t exactly treading uncharted waters—his history, according to the post, included multiple betrayals of his wife. Word on the digital street is that Evan eventually caught wind of the whole mess, but somehow, he and Cornett patched things up. Meanwhile, Solis’ wife, reportedly aware of the situation, was already eyeing a divorce for unrelated reasons.
Then, as if this tale of seduction and family wreckage wasn’t already chaotic enough, X user @DuragRebel escalated things by revealing that someone had minted a meme coin in Cornett’s honor. Because in 2025, no true scandal is complete without the blockchain getting involved.
X user @Baginpocket joined the fray, posting an alleged screenshot of Cornett’s Instagram profile before she went private. More internet detectives piled on, claiming she had a history of similar behavior, with one particularly damning screenshot hinting at a $150 Venmo hush payment—allegedly a little grease money to keep certain lips sealed.
As of now, none of the main players—Cornett, Evan, Solis, or his wife—have made any public statements, leaving the internet to do what it does best: speculate, meme, and dig for more dirt.
This isn’t just a scandal—it’s a modern Southern soap opera playing out in real-time, where everyone with WiFi gets a front-row seat.
