Kaylee Timonet dancing video viral “I felt like my life was over. Everything I worked for since I was little, always worked really hard at school. Being student of the year, at least having a chance at it, has always been my main goal. I’m starting college this January. I’m done in December so it was a shock.”
An investigation is underway by the Livingston Parish School Board after a Walker High School senior had her scholarship retracted and her student government president title stripped by the school after video surfaced on social media of her dancing at a homecoming after-party, UWK has learned.
The video in question shows Kaylee Timonet, 17, dancing behind a friend “twerking” at a private party where Timonet’s mother was present on Sept 30, 2023.
Timonet is senior and beloved by the student body at Walker High School, according to numerous students who spoke to UWK on the basis of anonymity.
She has a 4.0 grade point average and represents the school in numerous clubs. Prior to the video being released, Timonet was the student government association’s president. That role has since been stripped.
She remains the Beta Club president. The teen tutors kids and was just awarded outstanding volunteer in the Baton Rouge area.
UWK has also learned that the school’s principal Jason St. Pierre was not at school Friday. The investigation reportedly centers around his meeting with Timonet and actions he took against her.
