Daniel Levy had a big weekend. He hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time (the mainstay sketch show’s 900th episode) and starred in a Super Bowl commercial for M&M’s, but it was his mom, Deborah Divine, who stole our hearts. In a tweet leading up to Levy’s SNL appearance, Divine took the opportunity to give the proverbial middle-finger to her son’s childhood bullies.

“This goes out to the bully punks at Camp WTF who made life miserable for a certain cabin-mate back in the summer of ’96 — just because he was different,” the proud mom tweeted after her son absolutely killed it on SNL. “Well, after all these years I have just 7 words to say to you: ‘Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!'” 

Divine’s tweet was flooded with comments from parents whose children were also bullied, particularly parents of LGBTQ children. “Love a mom with a grudge list of people who were mean to their kid,” replied Twitter user @Kjerstieb. “I have mine and it will go with me to my grave. My queer kid is amazing. Just like yours.”
