Brittany Mahomes has often proved to be a divisive figure on social media due to her posts about Patrick Mahomes’ NFL career. But this time, the former professional soccer player has landed herself in a photoshopping scandal after being accused of doctoring photos posted online.
Mahomes is now facing online hate after commenters suggested she had edited photos of herself – similar to the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, who apologized after she was caught editing a family photo back in March. Posting a series of images of herself and with two female friends, Mahomes, 28, changed outfits to pose in front of the camera.
In one photo, she can be seen wearing a pink plaid dress, a pink belt, and a simple diamond necklace. In others, she modeled a sequined pink crop top, with the caption: “The glam shots deserved their own moment”. But clearly not everyone agreed with her view, with nearly 200 comments on the post – the majority of which chastized the mother-of-two. One user wrote: “Photoshopped to DEATH”, adding nine laughing emojis to summarize their disapproval.
Another said it was “photoshopped to Hell and back, lol,” and a different user commented. “These are definitely Photoshopped.”
A fourth commenter said: “How many pictures can one take and post of their own self. Are you 16? Just strange and screams narcissistic traits…just sayin”
With her reputation taking a hit, Mahomes may remind herself of her way of dealing with online criticism after she was announced as a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated in February. Brittany featured on the cover of the SI and as part of her interview, she imparted some wisdom on those who choose to criticize the way she looks.
