As The Blast reported, former soccer player Brittany Mahomes recently came under scrutiny after reportedly liking and then swiftly unliking an Instagram post on August 13 from the Republican presidential candidate, which was titled "The 2024 GOP Platform."

Brittany later appeared on the “WHOOP” podcast to discuss how her husband has guided her in managing fame and public 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 to the listeners 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 continued. "So, why does what other people say have to matter at all?”

The post in question outlined several controversial points, including "Keep men OUT of women's sports," seemingly responding to the recent backlash surrounding boxer Imane Khelif, who advanced to Olympic championships amid gender controversy.

Other points included in the post were "Stop the migrant crime epidemic" and "Cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory."

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

The site also notes that the NFLPA directed $45,000 to Democratic candidates and $35,000 to Republicans.

Earlier this. year, Brittany's husband, Patrick Mahomes, spoke with Time Magazine, explaining that he will continue to avoid 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.”

Interestingly, Patrick and Brittany maintain a close friendship with Patrick's teammate, Travis Kelce, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who has previously expressed opposition to Trump by endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 election. This has led to speculation about whether the pop star will back Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

A recent virtual rally called "Swifties for Kamala" featured a star-studded lineup, including Carole King and Senator Elizabeth Warren, but Taylor Swift did not attend.
