While NFL fans are convinced Jackson Mahomes is nothing but an attention-seeking TikToker, Gracie Hunt believes he is only being a supportive younger brother. “I think Patrick Mahomes has a wonderful family — from Brittany to Jackson. They are wonderful people and we are so blessed to have them as part of our organization and are huge rocks in Patrick’s life,” Hunt said during a recent interview with Fox News. On the backlash that Jackson so often receives online, Hunt urges critics to extend more grace to the younger Mahomes. “I do think that we live in a culture that’s often quick to criticize and slow to forgive. But I think we need to be one that’s quick to forgive and slow to criticize,” she said.
Luckily, Hunt is not the only one who thinks trolls should cut Jackson some slack. In January 2022, Patrick’s wife, Brittany Matthews came to Jackson’s defense after internet users made fun of the 22-year-old for allegedly wearing a jacket that misspelled his last name as Mahoms instead of Mahomes. “Y’all are ignorant,” Matthews wrote in response to a now-deleted tweet. “At least make sure your facts are straight. This is just not necessary AT ALL! There were plenty other photos to look at to confirm before you post stupid s*** like this. Y’all have no sense if you think this is accurate. Be better.”
