Brittany Mahomes responds to 'gold digger' comments on IG: "I wish I dug and found gold" 

Brittany Mahomes had to come to her own defense after a few fans decided to ask her some nasty questions. During a question and answer session on Instagram, most of the questions posed to her were polite and to the point. Many of them talked about mental health and privacy.

One comment, though, showed why celebrities like Brittany Mahomes face such crippling mental challenges. One person posted, very unkindly, that she was a gold digger. Brittany took it in her stride and knocked it out of the park, replying:

"I wish I dug and found gold."

The fallacy of calling Brittany Mahomes a gold digger

Not only was the person who posted the comment unnecessarily cruel, but he was also wrong.

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes were high school sweethearts who grew up in the same town and kept their flame alive even when they were at different universities. She even alluded to this when asked what kept them humble.

Second, she was a champion soccer player and represented the University of Texas at Tyler. She was even signed professionally by UMF Afturelding/Fram in Iceland, where she played for a year. Brittany Mahomes could have had her own career as an athlete, but she instead sacrificed that for Patrick Mahomes and her family.

Furthermore, due to her soccer interests, she is now a stakeholder in the Kansas City Current women's soccer team. In fact, she was one of the founding members. She was responsible for getting her husband interested in the franchise, and he finally ended up joining her on the ownership team.

Beyond that, she is a personal trainer and fitness entrepreneur. She has sacrificed her sporting career and reinvented herself as an entrepreneur, all while taking care of her family.

While Brittany Mahomes is under no obligation to respond to trolls, she did come up with a befitting reply on this occasion.
