The Shady Side Of Brittany Mahomes

The Backlash
Following a victorious game for the Kansas City Chiefs in January 2022, Brittany Mahomes made headlines after spraying champagne on fans at the Arrowhead Stadium stands.
“No one is mad she celebrated [...] People are mad because she sprayed the champagne from a HEATED SUIT on people in the freezing cold!!!!” one user wrote on X.
Shading NFL
In September 2020, Mahomes called out the National Football League (NFL) for putting Patrick Mahomes on No. 4 in their annual top 100 rankings.
In December 2022, she once again called out NFL referees for refusing to award penalties to Patrick, who had been repeatedly tackled during a game against the Houston Texans.
Dissing Opponents
When the Chiefs recorded a victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in a January 2023 game, Mahomes took to X, writing “Cancun on 3,” accompanied by a peace sign.
NFL fans took it as a subtle shade directed at Eli Apple, who played for the Bengals. Before the Bengals lost, Apple had tweeted, “Cacun on 3,” followed by a heart emoji.
Defending Allegations
In March 2023, Mahomes’ brother Jackson was accused of physically assaulting a young woman and forcibly kissing the owner of a restaurant in Kansas City.
“He is a human [...] and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will), you have no right to say sh** about him,” Mahomes said defending her brother on her Instagram.
