Jackson Mahomes, the brother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is a social media star that has drawn attention to himself through a number of incidents since the start of the season -- the latest of which led to a Kansas City bar lashing out at him for his behavior.
According to the New York Post, Jackson Mahomes arrived at SoT cocktail bar in Kansas City recently with a large group that the bar was unable to seat. Jackson Mahomes, who has a massive following on social media that features over 255,000 Instagram followers, then left disparaging messages about the establishment the internet.
SoT responded to Jackson Mahomes' behavior with a lengthy, now deleted post on social media in which the bar eviscerated the social media star for his attitude.
"We are sorry that we set boundaries that you tried to ignore. Often times people with un-earned status and a sense of entitlement think they are above the rules and will lash out at the employee enforcing them," read SoT's post. "We are sorry we could not seat your very large group. As you probably saw, our bar is very small.
"We are sorry that you have the reach that you do, or at least that you think you do and that instead of using it for something positive you decided to use it to try and crush a small business. We survived a global pandemic, we'll survive your ego."
The bar's post went on to allude to the various mini-scandals that Jackson Mahomes has involved himself in, which range from dumping water on a Baltimore Ravens fan to doing a TikTok dance on a memorial logo for the late Sean Taylor.
In a later post on Facebook, SoT apologized for going too far in their initial response to Jackson Mahomes.
"Social media can be used in so many different ways, & yesterday our team used it to personally attack and question the character of someone we do not know personally," read the later post. "Out of all the ways this situation could have been handled, we did it the wrong way."
Jackson Mahomes' behavior has somewhat become less of an issue for the Chiefs, as the team has broken out of a mid-season slump to once again become a prolific offense and the frontrunner for the AFC West title. Thursday night presents a massive chance for the Chiefs to stake a claim to yet another division title, as they will play a divisional game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
