Bama Rush Influencer Izzy Darnell Shocks Fans With 'Fooled Y'all Again' Video

Influencer Izzy Darnell has sparked widespread discussion online after posting a video that appears to reveal her withdrawal from the highly publicized 'Bama Rush' sorority recruitment process. The video, uploaded on August 16, 2025, shows Darnell on a beach, initially displaying a paper with a name, followed by one marked 'BID,' which she then tears. An on-screen caption states, 'Haha fooled yall again.' The content has led to a flurry of comments, with many viewers questioning the authenticity of her participation in the rush, suggesting it may have been primarily for content creation and brand partnerships. One commenter stated, 'Obvi this was the plan all along and she filmed this a while ago. She used rush to get to a million and for content. Exactly what I thought she would do. Good for her. Tiktok is her business. She doesn’t need/want a sorority and that’s ok. It’s not for everyone.' Another expressed disappointment, saying, 'She just made a mockery of the whole Greek system that many of us have lived and grown to love.' Darnell's video has quickly amassed over 4.3 million views, with 178,800 likes and 2,147 comments, highlighting the significant public interest and debate surrounding the 'Bama Rush' phenomenon and the role of influencers within it.
