Brittany Mahomes fires back at social media trolls: ‘Go back to where you came from’
The last few days have been anything but merry and bright for Brittany Mahomes, who has had enough with a sudden rise in nasty comments on her social media accounts.
Over the last few days, people have even taken a couple of shots at the young Mahomes children, a breach of even the lowest bar of social decorum.
Mahomes, married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is co-owner of the KC Current women’s soccer team.
“Recently there has been ALOT more rude a** people on here, waaaay more (than) normal,” Mahomes wrote on an Instagram Story Tuesday. “I’m not sure where yall came from but you should probably go back to where you came from … please.”
Or, in the words of a Mahomes follower responding to an unkind comment about the kids on Instagram: “Shoo now.”
Mahomes has been in a white-hot national spotlight this season since befriending Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The two women are now often seen together at Chiefs games, and Mahomes and other NFL wives have partied with Swift in New York City.
Mahomes, 28, and Swift, 34, just shared a suite at the Chiefs-New England Patriots game at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, where at one point the pop superstar lifted Mahomes off the ground in a moment of unbridled celebration. The Chiefs won 27-17.
Many of the latest negative comments on Mahomes’ Instagram appear to be from women, her followers noted.
“WOMEN — you have to stop leaving negative comments on other women’s pages. It is so pathetic, so please just do not say anything if you have nothing positive to say. Blows my mind that grown women have to be reminded of this,” one fan wrote.
“I’m so sorry Britney you don’t deserve these ridiculous comments.”
The trolling appears to have blown up after Patrick Mahomes was fined for criticizing officials and “unsportsmanlike conduct”during the Bills game on Dec. 10.
Brittany Mahomes also expressed her displeasure over the disputed offside call on Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney.
She posted a picture of a ref on the field with the word “MVP.” The penalty reversed a Toney touchdown in the final minutes, and the Chiefs eventually lost.
In recent days the animosity toward her spilled over onto an Instagram photo she shared last week of herself with Patrick, their children, Sterling, 2, and Bronze, 1, and Santa. Thousands of followers hit the “like” button.
But over the last few days, people have dropped a few comments mocking her and the kids. “I feel bad for your children when they go on YouTube in 10 years and see how foolish their mother acted at Dad’s work,” one wrote.
On Sunday, Mahomes posted her ritual pregame picture on the sidelines. Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, left a gushing comment about her outfit: “Beautiful! Love the coat!,” Hunt’s daughter, Gracie Hunt, has the same pregame ritual of posing for photos near the field.
But Mahomes’ photo sparked criticism from people bothered by the fact that she was on the sidelines at all.
“She also kisses (Patrick) before each game,” one supporter schooled that particular commenter. “It’s their thing so sorry it bothers you!”
Another supporter advised Mahomes that it is ”time to turn those comments off on your page sis!
“It’s amazing to me the things people will say to someone else nowadays while sitting on their a**es behind their phone/keyboard. … like the fact that people get so mad over where you go, what you do, or what you wear (especially when they don’t even know you) is bonkers AND creepy to me. Keep doing you Brittany!”
