NFL Star Patrick Mahomes' Wife Hits Back At 'Haters' Amidst Donald Trump Support

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recently came under fire online for reportedly liking, and then unliking, an Instagram post from former President Donald Trump dated August 13.

Not only has she responded to the backlash, but the former soccer player has also doubled down on her political stance by linking to another comment involving Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

In the wake of ongoing online criticism, Brittany Mahomes has received support from her husband, Patrick Mahomes, and now says she is unfazed by the backlash and will continue to stand by her views.

The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is facing backlash after apparently liking, and then quickly un-liking, an Instagram post from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in recent days.

Following the backlash, Brittany Mahomes shared how a piece of advice from her husband helped her overcome negativity on social media.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model—who recently faced criticism for “liking” a political post from Donald Trump on Instagram—went on the “WHOOP” podcast, where she discussed how her hubby has guided her in handling fame and attention.

“I think the main thing that he always told me is like, ‘Stop caring about what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you,'" she explained before admitting that “social media used to get me a lot” but now she doesn’t “give a f-ck about what people have to say about me anymore."

“And I think he’s helped me get to that point where I’m strong in who I am, I’m confident in who I am and I’m confident in mine and his relationship -- and I’m confident in our life," she added. "So, why does what other people say have to matter at all?”

On August 13, Donald Trump shared a post on Instagram titled "The 2024 GOP Platform," which outlined several controversial points, including "Deport pro-Hamas radicals," "Cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory," "Keep men OUT of women's sports," and "Stop the migrant crime epidemic."

Brittany allegedly liked the post, sparking a wave of backlash.

Following the criticism from social media users, the fitness trainer took to her Instagram Stories, clapping back at the hate. "I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood," she wrote. "There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well."

After making her debut in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Brittany Mahomes opened up to the outlet about her experience, describing herself as “unapologetically always myself in any setting,” despite the media scrutiny and criticism from NFL fans.

“Be confident in who you are and be unapologetically yourself,” she told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “People are going to love you or hate you, but finding your values and what makes you ‘you’ to be the best version of yourself is what really matters."

"Whether that’s health and wellness, being a great wife or mom, or career goals, being the best version of you is the most important thing you can be," Brittany added.

In April, Patrick Mahomes told Time that he would refrain from publicly discussing his choice of candidates.

“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president,” the quarterback said. “I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.”

Patrick and Brittany are close friends with Patrick's teammate, Travis Kelce, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who has previously voiced opposition to Trump, endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 election. This has led many to speculate whether the "22" singer will support Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

After finding out that Brittany allegedly liked one of Trump's posts, Swifties took to social media and bashed the NFL quarterback's wife. "hey taylorrrr umm i think it’s time to drop her, her friends, and that meathead boyfriend," one user wrote.

"Taylor Swift never gonna be seen with Brittany Mahomes again," another said.

Brittany has not publicly endorsed any presidential candidate and does not follow Trump on Instagram.
