Jackson Mahomes Poses With Brittany Mahomes After Party 'Snub'

Jackson Mahomes has shared footage of himself posing with his sister-in-law, Brittany Mahomes, after a viral video on social media showed him apparently being snubbed by her at a pre-Super Bowl LVIII party.

The Mahomes were on hand to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday, as he and his teammates secured a 25-22 victory in overtime over the San Francisco 49ers at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.

A day before the game, video footage went viral that showed Jackson Mahomes apparently getting denied access to Brittany Mahomes' table as she partied at an event, which The Daily Mail reported was a Future concert.

In the clip, Jackson Mahomes was seen speaking to a member of the event's security team, who shook his head at the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes. The camera then panned to Brittany Mahomes, who shrugged in his direction.

Standing in the VIP area of the event, Brittany Mahomes then proceeded to dance as the music rang out in the venue. Footage of the awkward moment has been viewed on X, formerly Twitter, more than 7 million times.

Newsweek has contacted representatives of Brittany Mahomes via email for comment.

However, it appeared that there was no bad blood between the two on Sunday, when Jackson Mahomes took to Instagram to share footage of himself posing with his sister-in-law ahead of the big game.

In one boomerang clip shared on Instagram, a smiling Jackson Mahomes posed for a selfie as he caught Brittany Mahomes and her two children in the background. He also shared a video clip of himself shouting, "How you feeling, red?" The Mahomes family, including Brittany Mahomes, was seen in the background.

Last year, Brittany Mahomes spoke out in defense of Jackson Mahomes, as he faced a backlash on social media. The 23-year-old social media influencer was accused of sexual assault. He denied the allegations leveled against him. In January, the three felony charges of aggravated sexual battery were dismissed.

Jackson Mahomes was accused of grabbing a woman by the neck and kissing her against her will last February 25 at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in a Kansas City suburb. He still faces one charge of misdemeanor battery. The accuser in that case is not the same as the one in the felony sexual battery case.

Elsewhere, Jackson was criticized on social media after getting involved in the Chiefs' Super Bowl celebrations last year. Many accused him of trying to muscle in on his sibling's spotlight.

Brittany Mahomes came to the defense of her brother-in-law during a Q&A session on her Instagram stories back in April.

After touching on a variety of subjects—including parenthood, anxiety, charity, dogs, cars, and money—she was asked by one follower: "How do you feel about the comments about your [brother-in-law]?"

"They are ignorant," Brittany Mahomes replied. "He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will) you have no right to say s*** about him. So it's best to just shut up."

After Jackson Mahomes' felony charges were dropped, his lawyer Brandan Davies released a statement via email to Newsweek.

"Like I said from the beginning, Jackson has done nothing wrong," Davies wrote. "We had full confidence that the truth of the matter would ultimately be revealed. The defense will reserve further comment until the remaining count is disposed of."
