The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brittany Mahomes, recently responded to the backlash following her actions at the AFC Championship game by posting a subdued message on social media. Brittany took to Instagram to express her feelings after receiving backlash from some fans for what appeared to be disrespectful gestures toward a stadium employee as she left M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, where her husband’s team won and advanced to the Super Bowl 2024.
She shared a quotation that appeared to address the circumstances on her Instagram Story: “I view rumors as a compliment.” Your fixation is evident from the fact that you’re writing my name on tables that I don’t sit at. Continue to bother. Although she could not provide any context for the comment, it appears that it was her way of responding to criticism that she had seen online.
The incident in question was caught on camera by CBS and posted to TikTok. In the video, Brittany can be seen asking them how to leave the stadium while making a gesture that some may find rude. Online viewers commented on this, claiming that Brittany seemed to be acting superior.
The younger brother of Patrick Mahomes, Jackson Mahomes, who has recently had a reduced social media profile due to legal issues, was also included in the film.
In the midst of intense scrutiny, Brittany’s post suggests that she doesn’t care about the unfavorable attention. Anticipated to make a big appearance at the forthcoming Super Bowl, the Mahomes family—known for their close-knit support during games—will highlight their unity in the face of both public and private obstacles.
