Hollywood star Chris Evans won million hearts after he invited a bullied boy to 'Avenger's' premiere, after a disturbing video of the frightened and traumatized boy went viral on social media.

This is Keaton Jones, he lives in Knoxville and he has a little something to say about bullying.

Not just the Captain American star, but a number of other celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Gal Gadot, Katy Perry, and many others have voiced their support for Tennessee student Keaton Jones and shared his viral anti-bullying video on their social media accounts.

However the focus soon shifted to Keaton's mother. Social media users dug out some controversial posts of her on Facebook, where is she can be seen waving Confederate flag.

Following this revelation, she was labeled "racist" and "supremacist" by Twitterati.


Not just her, even Keaton faced backlash and was called out for using "racial slurs against black kids".

Meanwhile Keaton's sister has denied all the charges and claimed "her family wasn't racist".

An Instagram account allegedly belonging to Keaton too sprung up overnight. The account-holder too posted an apology for his mum's controversial posts, however the Instagram account has now been deleted.
