Dan Levy’s mother addresses bullies who ‘made life miserable’ for him ahead of his SNL host gig

She clearly has her son’s back.

Screenwriter Deborah Divine tweeted out a heartfelt message on Saturday, hours before her son Dan Levy made his debut as host of Saturday Night Live in New York City.

Divine, 61, hit out at childhood bullies of her son Dan, now 37, who ‘made life miserable’ for him back in the day in sleep-away camp.

‘This goes out to the bully punks at Camp WTF who made life miserable for a certain cabin-mate back in the the summer of ‘96 – just because he was different,’ Deborah wrote, referring to her Schitt’s Creek star son.  

‘Well, after all these years I have just 7 words to say to you: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”‘ Deborah concluded with obvious parental pride.

She then tagged her son, along with a red heart emoji.  

Later, Levy retweeted the message, adding, ‘Moms.’ along with a red heart emoji of his own.

Dan, whom Deborah shares with her husband Eugene Levy, hosted SNL on Saturday night alongside musical guest Phoebe Bridgers.

And this isn’t the first time Levy’s mother has publicly shared love and support for her openly gay son.

In April of last year, Divine tweeted an adorable message to her son on the occasion of hit series Schitt’s Creek’s series finale.

‘Today I regret every single second of worry back in the uninformed 80’s–wondering how the world was going to treat my brilliant little boy who loved to twirl,’ Deborah penned at the time. 

‘Little did I know that he was going to kick that old world’s ass to the curb and create a brand new one. @danjlevy’

‘This. Love you, mom,’ Levy wrote in response.

Dan, along with his veteran comedic actor father Eugene, 74, are credited with co-creating the hit Canadian series Schitt’s Creek, which swept the Primetime Emmys last fall after the sixth season aired.

All four principal stars, which include Catherine O’Hara and Annie Murphy, won Emmys for their performances, and they are each also nominated this year for Golden Globes as well as Screen Actors Guild Awards.
