Who Is The Woman In The Viral 'Sidewalk Video' Spreading On The Burnerverse? Memes And Allegations Surrounding University Of Miami Student Nikki Capocci Explained

There's a new viral video going around the so-called "Burnerverse," and it's got a University of Miami (UM) student named Nikki Capocci getting called out across social media despite no evidence being brought forth.
The explicit clip (known as the "Miami Sidewalk Video") shows a woman having relations with a man on a public sidewalk in Miami at night, and it's become a massive meme on Twitter / X, but it's also caused the woman's alleged identity to go viral.
So who is Nikki Capocci and what is the sidewalk video exactly? Here's what you need to know about the alleged woman that some internet users are calling the new Mary Kate Cornett.

What Is The 'Nikki Capocci' Sidewalk Video?
On April 9th, 2025, a covertly shot video of a blonde woman engaging in a sexual act with a man on a public sidewalk was posted on Twitter by user @BradMeyers98. Though merely hearsay, some commenters claimed that the woman in the video is a University of Miami student named Nikki Capocci.
Over the next few days, the video and screenshots of it were reposted across social media, making it go viral alongside the rumors about the woman's purported identity.
While people seem convinced that the woman in the video is Nikki Capocci, this has not been confirmed, but that hasn't stopped people from sharing photos from Capocci's social media profiles as a way of shaming her for the incident. Since going viral, Capocci's Instagram page has since been deleted.

Similar to other viral trolling and cyberbullying incidents surrounding the Burnerverse, this current online phenomenon centered on Capocci mirrors events targeting young women like Mary Kate Cornett and Lily Lang, who both became victims of memes and widespread rumors in the last year.

How Is Social Media Reacting To The 'Nikki Capocci' Video?
The video has caused a lot of reactions online in recent days. Some people are sharing all the photos and information about Nikki Capocci that they can find as a way of shaming the woman alleged to be in the video, including photos of her with her family and images taken at the University of Miami.
Others are sharing DMs they've had with people who purportedly know her, including one that claims she's pursuing legal action against the man in the video.
Again, it is completely unconfirmed that the woman in the video is actually Nikki Capocci — as with the many other Burnerverse controversies like this that've spread over the last year.
Besides that, the video has become a meme on Twitter. Some popular examples include a meme comparing her positioning to a Minecraft Spider Jockey enemy and a post reinterpreting the video to suggest that the woman is rescuscitating a homeless man.
