University of Mississippi student Mary Kate Cornett said she has “no idea” how a false internet rumor alleging she slept with her boyfriend’s father that went viral in February originated. During a sitdown with NBC News that aired on Wednesday, Cornett recalled hearing from friends that a rumor had spread on YikYak, an anonymous messaging-based app, about a college student at Ole Miss and in her Kappa Delta sorority, who was sleeping with her boyfriend’s father.    Cornett’s name and photo were then attached to the rumor, and it became a topic of conversation on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Feb.
