The Kansas City Chiefs traveled to New England last weekend for Sunday’s rematch of the AFC title game, and they left Gillette Stadium with a huge 23-16 win.
The game was a frustrating experience for New England fans who booed the home team off the field at halftime and witnessed some downright awful officiating. But that doesn’t excuse the behavior that Patrick Mahomes’ girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, described dealing with at Foxborough.
Matthews and Mahomes’ brother, Jackson, were seated together at Gillette Stadium, and according to Matthews, Patriots fans recognized them immediately when they sat down and made it a mission to harass them at the game. This was how she described it on Twitter (NSFW language).
As soon as we sit down, drunk dude “hey everyone this is patrick mahomes girl and brother, let’s give them shit”
This shall be fun 🙄— Brittany Matthews (@brittanylynne8) December 8, 2019
Eventually, fans got upset that Matthews stood up during the game, and someone evidently threatened to call security on Matthews.
This place is horrible, people already yelling every time I stand up, am I not aloud to stand up for football game?😲🤔

I was told if I stand they will call security and kick us out, can’t stand for your team? Some fans y’all are 😂🤔

As the game unfolded, the apparent harassment forced security to respond and move Matthews to a “safe place.”
Gillette security came and got us and moved us to a safe place 🙌🏼 that’s how you know it was bad🤔🤔

She added a postgame update on Instagram.
Matthews wrote:

Update: Gillette security cane (sic) and got us said we have cameras everywhere and we have seen you getting harassed so we are gonna move you to a safe section!
Matthews’ Instagram Story would show her and Jackson watching the end of the game from a suite.
