In response to the backlash, Mahomes took to Instagram to defend herself, suggesting that her critics have “deep rooted issues” and are simply jealous of her success.
“I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” she wrote. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
