Keaton Jones' mom, Kimberly Jones, is catching heat today after Facebook posts surfaced that some believe paint her as racist.
Keaton's story of being bullied at a Union County, Tennessee middle school went viral after his mom posted a video online of him emotionally describing being tormented by classmates, Friday, December 8.
Celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Redman, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Millie Bobbie Brown, Mark Ruffalo, Delanie Walker, Ryan Seacrest, Chris Evans and many more have been quick to express support for Keaton.
His mother, on the other hand, is feeling the wrath of the internet.
TMZ reports Kimberly's Facebook page included “several photos of herself and friends displaying the Confederate flag” and a post that starts, “Dear butt hurt Americans” that TMZ says was written 2 days after a neo-nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A GoFundMe page called "Stand Up for Keaton," which had raised $58,249 over the last 2 days, is no loner accepting donations. A spokesperson for the site told TMZ it needs to verify whether Kimberly is the beneficiary. Thus far, they haven't been able to reach her.
Keaton didn't get to choose his family and certainly doesn't deserve what has happened to him at school. Hopefully, there will be a happy ending for the kid.
