Brittany has been a vocal supporter of Patrick and Kansas City since he was drafted in 2017, attracting both the support and ire of football fans.
In October 2021, she tweeted "Refs are never in our favor," and — after some commenters hit back — followed up with, "I said what I said. Y'all so mad."
The following season, she called out referees for not calling a foul against her husband, writing, "Im confused, we are allowed to tackle quarterbacks like that now? Got it. The inconsistency is BS"
Replies ranged from "Someone hand her a box of tissues" to "I completely agree."
In February 2023, after she was ridiculed on "The Joe Rogan Experience" by Rogan and Shane Gillis, she appeared to respond on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, "Something about grown men talking s--- about someone's wife is real weird..."
She later tweeted, "Actually grown ass men hating on women in general is pathetic."
Some online commenters have also turned on her behavior at games. In January 2022, she shared a video of her celebrating the Chiefs' overtime win over the Buffalo Bills by spraying Champagne onto the crowd from her box.
However, not everyone in her comments voiced the same excitement, with one X user saying there's "nothing cool" about spraying Champagne on the people below, and another calling the move "immature."
But others defended her, writing, "People clearly didn't see your Instagram where you said that fans literally requested it [emoji] Keep being you, Britt!! Don't listen to the haters."
Brittany responded to the criticism with a few more posts of her own, including, "I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week" and "Hate is a very strong word to just be thrown at someone you don't even know."
