As TJ's friend, it is important to be an upstander or ally for the following reasons:

If you don't take a stand against the mean comments, TJ might feel like you were part of it or that you don't care about his feelings. Being an upstander will show him that you are there for him and that you have his back.
2. Showing empathy might help TJ not to be discouraged by others: By showing empathy and support, you can help boost TJ's confidence and resilience. Knowing that he has someone who believes in him and supports him, despite the mean comments, can help him not to be discouraged by others' opinions.
