Why do people hate Jackson Mahomes?
Since 2020, the Chiefs have dominated the AFC division, effortlessly earning their spot in the Super Bowl for two consecutive years. While most headlines focused on the highly-regarded quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, plenty also mentioned the incredibly annoying antics of both his younger brother Jackson and his wife, Brittany.
As for Jackson, most people and NFL fans hate him for the obnoxious and sometimes offensive TikToks he makes every year at the Super Bowl. In the Chiefs' past two appearances, Jackson went out of his way to try and take the spotlight from his older brother by sharing the most cringe-worthy videos for clout.
In May 2023, Jackson was arrested for aggravated sexual battery.
On Wednesday, May 3, several outlets reported that Jackson Mahomes was arrested and booked into the Johnson County jail in Kansas on a warrant for aggravated sexual battery. He was booked at around 7:42 a.m., and his bond was set at $100,000.
According to court records, Jackson's been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of misdemeanor battery. He is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, May 5.
Police have been investigating a February 2023 incident involving Jackson at the Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kan. He was accused of assaulting a waiter and the owner. In separate incidents, Mahomes allegedly shoved a 19-year-old male waiter multiple times and then forcibly kissed the 40-year-old female owner.
Shortly after the incident, which was caught on surveillance video, Mahomes' attorney said he did nothing wrong.
"Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser including the statements of several witnesses," Brandan Davies said in a statement. "We have reached out to law enforcement to provide the fruit of our investigation so that they may have a complete picture of the matter."
