A lawyer for Mahomes denied the allegations.

"Jackson has done nothing wrong," Brandan Davies said at the time. "Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser, including the statements of several witnesses. 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."

Mahomes also came under fire in October 2021 after doing a TikTok dance on the Sean Taylor memorial logo that was on FedExField for a game against the Washington Commanders. Both Matthews and Mahomes have faced an overwhelming amount of criticism online. 

In February, Matthews spoke out on social media after Joe Rogan and co-hosts on his podcast made comments about her and Jackson Mahomes. 

"Something about grown men talking s--- about someone’s wife is real weird," Matthews said.
