After reported backlash over an Instagram like on a Donald Trump post, Brittany Mahomes shared a message criticizing adult “haters” on August 24, 2024, then reposted a message about being kind despite political differences two days later. Her August 26 caption said, “Read that again!” The repost came amid the backlash, but the report did not say what specifically it addressed.
What prompted the backlash?
A People report syndicated by Yahoo said criticism began after Mahomes reportedly liked an Instagram post from Donald Trump on August 13, 2024. The report described the post as a graphic about the 2024 Republican platform. The reported like does not establish Mahomes’s intent or how she planned to vote.

What did Brittany Mahomes post about her critics?
On August 24, Mahomes shared a text post about adult “haters,” introducing it with “I mean honestly,” according to the same report. The quoted message read: “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.” The wording criticized haters generally; it did not name a specific person or controversy.
What did “Read that again!” refer to?
On August 26, Mahomes reposted another user’s message: “Contrary to the tone of the world today….you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind.” She added the caption “Read that again!” The report said she did not specify exactly what the message addressed, so it is more precise to describe it as a call for kindness amid the backlash than as a direct statement about the earlier Instagram like.
