Things are going much better for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes after avoiding a three-game losing streak with a win over the New England Patriots last week. However, his wife, Brittany Mahomes, is dealing with an influx of online trolls.
Brittany shared a strong message on her Instagram Stories on December 19. “Recently there has been A LOT more rude ass people on here, Waaaay more then normal…
“I’m not sure where yall came from, but you should probably go back to where you came from… please.”
The Kansas City Current co-owner, who shares two children with Mahomes, Sterling, 2, and Bronze, 1, didn’t specify what sparked the influx of “rude” people. The timeline matches up with her blossoming friendship with Taylor Swift, who’s dating her husband’s teammate and best friend, Travis Kelce. Becoming a regular presence in Swift’s orbit has thrust even more media attention on Brittany.
However, Brittany’s message also comes on the heels of Mahomes getting slapped with a $50,0000 fine for criticizing the refs after Kansas City’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs, along with numerous other teams, have fallen victim to egregious calls from the refs this season. However, Mahomes losing it over a legit offensive offsides penalty, and the reason he gave for his anger, earned the two-time Super Bowl MVP some vitriol on social media.
Amid Mahomes’ fiery outburst after losing to the Bills, Brittany backed the quarterback up. Before Mahomes walked back his comments on the ref’s call, she shared a photo on her Instagram Stories calling the ref “MVP.”
After Mahomes expressed regret over his outburst, Brittany shared photos from Arrowhead and wrote, “Riding with 15 always❤️.” The comments on that post are full of hateful messages.
