Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany slams 'haters' for backlash over liking Trump's post
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brittany Mahomes took to Instagram to criticize her "haters," calling them immature adults, after receiving backlash for liking a Donald Trump post about his 2024 campaign platform.
The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brittany Mahomes, defended herself in an Instagram story on Friday, August 23, about ten days after liking a post from Donald Trump.
Brittany Mahomes addresses criticism after liking Trump's post
“I mean honestly,” Brittany Mahomes wrote in the story. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood."
“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.
Mahomes, 28, did not specify the exact reason behind the criticism, but her response appears to address the backlash she faced after liking a social media post by Donald Trump.
The Instagram post shared on August 13 outlined the "2024 GOP Platform," which included proposals such as deporting "pro-Hamas radicals" and banning men from participating in women's sports.
This post sparked an immediate backlash from Taylor Swift's fanbase, known as the "Swifties."
Mahomes' social media account did not display any criticism, indicating that she may have removed any negative comments from her posts, according to the New York Post.
It appears that Mahomes has since retracted her 'like' from the controversial post and was no longer following the Republican presidential nominee by Friday evening.
This social media episode follows just months after her NFL superstar husband, Patrick Mahomes, made headlines for choosing not to comment on the presidential race.
