Patrick Mahomes rapidly gained immense fame, thrusting his entire family, including his brother Jackson, into the limelight. Jackson Mahomes, a regular presence at Arrowhead Stadium and an active figure on social media, faced controversy, notably after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 58 triumph over the Eagles when he encountered legal issues related to a Feb. 25 incident at a bar.
Charges against Jackson Mahomes included one count of misdemeanor battery and three counts of aggravated sexual battery, stemming from accusations of forcibly kissing the bar owner and pushing a 19-year-old waiter. Incriminating video footage appeared to support the allegations, prompting Mahomes’ legal team to collaborate with the police investigation.
While this marked Jackson Mahomes’ first known legal trouble, he had previously stirred controversies, such as apologizing for a TikTok dance filmed on a tribute logo for the late Sean Taylor in 2021. Additionally, he was captured pouring water on Ravens fans during a Chiefs loss a month earlier.
Despite these incidents, Mahomes has remained in the Chiefs’ sphere this season, attending multiple games as evidenced by his Instagram posts. However, as Kansas City progresses in the playoffs, the spotlight on the Mahomes family may intensify.
In a recent development, prosecutors moved to dismiss Mahomes’ felony sexual assault charges in early January. The victim chose not to cooperate with the investigation, citing her decision not to contact the police after the incident. Mahomes’ legal team, expressing full confidence in his innocence, released a statement after the dropped charges. Yet, the legal saga is not entirely resolved, with Mahomes still facing a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly shoving a waiter.
Despite the bar owner not contacting the police directly, she spoke to The Kansas City Star in 2023 about the incident, detailing how Mahomes forcibly kissed her and repeated it after confrontation. The bar’s subsequent closure, attributed to negative attention and threats, adds another layer of complexity to the aftermath. The resolution timeline for Mahomes’ remaining charge remains uncertain, leaving the situation open-ended.
