Roughly a week after Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, incurred the wrath of leftists by liking a post by former President Donald Trump, she bluntly said, “Honestly, I don’t give a f*** what people have to say about me anymore.”
Trump had listed on Instagram “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
At the time, she fired back at critics, “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood” on an Instagram Story.
Appearing on the Whoop podcast, Mahomes stated of her life with her husband, “Yeah, I think we got kind of thrown into the fire together, and I think that’s what helped us, you know, do so well in the life that we are is that we did it all together. And he is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports. So I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did. So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at, you know, managing those things and blocking people out.”
“And doing all that, doing all that type of stuff. So having [him] beside me, kind of guiding me and coaching me through it has helped a ton, and I think that’s kind of how we’ve gotten to where we’re at now.”
“What’s been a piece of advice that’s helped you manage all of it?” she was asked.
“I think the main thing, you know, he always told me is like, stop caring what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you,” she answered. “And so I think social media used to get to me a lot, and now it’s just like, ‘Honestly, I don’t give a F-*-*-* (spelling the word out) what people have to say about me anymore, and I think he’s helped me get to that point to where I’m strong in who I am; I’m confident in who I am. I’m confident in mine and his relationship and I’m confident in our life. So why does what other people say have to matter at all?”
