Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is at the center of a social media storm after seemingly showing support for former President Donald Trump. Brittany, known for her presence as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and a former college soccer player, has been active on social media, where her recent actions have sparked significant controversy.
The situation began when Brittany appeared to like several comments on her recent Instagram post that hinted at support for Donald Trump.
One comment she liked read, “TRUMP-VANCE 2024,” suggesting support for a potential Trump campaign in the upcoming election. Another comment she liked praised her for not backing down from her opinions, stating, “Glad to see you aren’t backing down. We are all entitled to our own opinions and shouldn’t be bullied into submission.” This second comment was also liked by Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

TMZ Sports and the New York Daily News reported on Brittany’s Instagram activity, which quickly caught the attention of her followers and the media. By Wednesday evening, however, it seemed that Brittany had unliked the comments, perhaps in response to the backlash she was receiving.
This isn’t the first time Brittany Mahomes has found herself in the middle of a social media controversy. On August 13th, she liked an Instagram post from Trump that outlined his “2024 GOP platform,” which ignited a wave of criticism from various online communities.
Among the critics were fans of pop star Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. These fans, many of whom are politically active and opposed to Trump, shared screenshots of Brittany’s like condemning her actions.
The backlash Brittany has faced highlights the challenges public figures encounter when they express their political views online. In today’s digital age, where every action is scrutinized, even a simple like on social media can lead to widespread controversy.

The situation also raises questions about the expectations placed on the spouses of celebrities and athletes. While they may not be in the public eye as much as their famous partners, their actions can still attract significant attention and criticism. In Brittany’s case, her support for Trump, whether intentional or not, has brought her under fire from both the media and the public.
As of now, Brittany Mahomes has not made any public statements addressing the controversy. Whether she will choose to clarify her stance or remain silent on the issue remains to be seen. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the powerful impact social media can have on public perception and the importance of being mindful of one’s online actions.
