Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has not shied away from engaging with political content on social media this year, and her actions have sparked conversations and controversy. Recently, she found herself at the center of a social media storm after liking a politically charged Instagram post.
The post, which outlined the GOP’s goals for the upcoming election, led many to speculate that Mahomes may support former president Donald Trump. This assumption didn’t sit well with some fans and followers, prompting criticism. However, Mahomes did not back down, responding to the backlash with a bold statement.
“I mean honestly,” Mahomes said in response to her critics. “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.”
Despite the negative feedback, Mahomes remained unapologetic about her interactions with the post. She even liked a comment from one of her Instagram followers, who supported her decision to stand firm in her views. The comment read, “Glad to see you aren’t backing down. We are all entitled to our own opinions and shouldn’t be bullied into submission.”

However, the controversy surrounding Mahomes didn’t end there. On Tuesday night, former ESPN anchor Jemele Hill took a public jab at Mahomes over her perceived political leanings. Hill, known for her outspoken political views, posted the popular “Arthur fist” meme on social media, which typically symbolizes frustration or anger. Along with the meme, Hill wrote, “Brittany Mahomes right now.”
The post was widely interpreted as a swipe at Mahomes and her possible support of Trump, particularly in the context of the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, which had taken place that evening. Hill, a vocal supporter of Harris and a longtime critic of Trump, made it clear where she stands on the political spectrum, and her meme implied she believed Mahomes was frustrated by the night’s events.
So far, Mahomes has chosen not to respond to Hill’s comments, and it seems unlikely she will address the situation directly. While she has been vocal in defending herself in the past, she has remained notably quiet about Tuesday’s debate and the subsequent criticism from Hill.
Though Mahomes has not publicly engaged in further political discussion on her social media platforms, her decision to interact with certain political posts continues to generate attention. For now, it seems she is focused on her family and life with her husband, NFL star Patrick Mahomes, rather than the political discourse swirling around her.
As Brittany Mahomes navigates her role in the public eye, her political interactions may continue to spark debate. But for now, she seems content to let her actions speak for themselves, choosing to stand by her opinions and ignore the criticism from figures like Jemele Hill.
