Just days after a Tennessee mother shared a video of her son Keaton, a student who tearfully spoke about being bullied, the family is facing new attention over photos from her social media.
According to TMZ, Keaton’s mother, Kimberly, has faced backlash since the video went viral. Many celebrities reached out to support the boy, and some offered gifts. Since then, photos reportedly found on Kimberly’s Facebook page have drawn criticism, including images of her and friends holding or displaying a Confederate flag.
She also reportedly shared a post about two weeks after the Charlottesville rally telling people to stop crying and complaining. It is unclear what she was referring to, and Baller Alert has not verified the posts independently.
Separately, some people online have questioned a GoFundMe account set up in support of Keaton. MMA fighter Joe Schilling publicly claimed the woman he was in contact with just wanted money, but it was unclear whether that person was actually Kimberly. At the time of publishing, Kimberly had not publicly responded to the criticism.
