Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is in some deep water with fans as well as PETA. Mahomes shared a photo from her vacation, where she was playing with a dolphin during a swim on Monday.
PETA had something to say on the matter.
“We know you love companion animals, but we hope to see you extend your compassion to marine life too.” PETA wrote in a long comment under Mahomes’ Instagram where she posted the photo.
“In the ocean, dolphins swim up to 60 miles each day, but when used for entertainment, they’re confined to small tanks or pools. Many dolphins develop painful conditions, such as stomach ulcers, and some die prematurely from the stress conditions of extreme captivity. Not to mention, many illnesses can be passed from dolphins to human visitors including viral, fungal, and bacterial infections such as salmonella.
“These types of interactions are dangerous for them AND us.”
Fans were just fine blasting Mahomes on their own, but because PETA is actually more disliked than just about anything on Earth, fans did an about-face and started to take the side of Brittany.

Mahomes isn’t one to shy away from public scrutiny, which has been the case since social media has been paying attention to the entire family with the emergence of Patrick Mahomes.
With the Chiefs defending their home field against the Bengals this past January, Brittany Mahomes wrote “Cancun on 3,” with a peace sign emoji. It was the tweet Bengals corner Eli Apple used when Cincy knocked the Buffalo Bills out of the divisional round a week prior.
She also caught backlash for coming to the defense of her brother-in-law, Jackson Mahomes, amid the investigation of him allegedly shoving a waitress and forcibly kissing the female owner of a Kansas restaurant.
The Mahomes’ have been together since high school and ended up marrying last year. They have two children together.
