LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has been under the spotlight following her debut as a model for the latest edition of Sports Illustrated magazine. Stepping onto the stage, she boldly addressed her detractors.

This isn't the first time Brittany has captured headlines. Previously, a TikTok clip featuring her went viral, sparking controversy as some interpreted her actions as dismissive toward a stadium employee. In response, Brittany posted a cryptic message, calling out the trolls and labeling them as 'obsessed'.
