UPDATE: After this story went to press, numerous news outlets and social media users reported on disturbing content discovered on Keaton Jones’ mother Kimberly’s Facebook page, including Confederate flag imagery and statements against “butt hurt” Americans that can be construed as racist and have led some to find her anti-bully sentiment hypocritical.

Keaton Jones MOM is a next level racist who’s posted in many offensive and non remorseful comments towards black people, so how is she preaching about bullying when she herself is a bully ??? lmao people are funny pic.twitter.com/bTnF7BFDGr

Original story appears below:

Meet Keaton Jones, a middle school student from Tennessee who has inspired a wave of encouragement with his heartbreaking viral video.

Kimberly Jones shared a video of her son shortly after she had to pick him up from school. The middle school student was too fearful and upset to go to lunch due to the bullies at his school.

In the heartrending video, Jones describes how the bullies attack him by pouring milk on him and calling him ugly for the scars left on his head from a previous operation.

This is Keaton Jones, he lives in Knoxville and he has a little something to say about bullying.https://t.co/coyQxFp33V

“Just out of curiosity, why do they bully?” Keaton asks in the video. “What’s the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to ’em? It’s not OK. It’s not OK.”

He continued, “People that are different don’t need to be criticized about it. It’s not their fault. They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends.”

After being posted, Kimberly Jones’ video quickly went viral, collecting millions of views across multiple social media platforms.

The viral video struck a cord with many celebrities, including Chris Evans, J.R. Smith, and LeBron James. Evans even invited the teen to the Avengers: Infinity War premiere next year.

Keaton-Don't waste time wondering why a bully would be so mean-They're sad people who think hurting others will make them feel better because they really don't like themselves-They're just jealous because you're so smart & handsome❤️Your friend-mh https://t.co/SUMw3OoCTm

.@lakyn_jones Hey Keaton, bullies are the ones with the problems NOT you. Many are bullied at home and pass it on. Cowards always need an audience. Be strong! I’ll come walk the hall and eat lunch with you anytime. #IstandwithKeaton #Keatonstrong #KeatonJones
