Before Brittany Mahomes became a Super Bowl wife, a soccer team co-owner, and one of the most talked-about WAGs in NFL history, she was sitting courtside at a college basketball game in 2022, making the funniest face ever seen on national television. The reason? Patrick told her no resting b*tch face. The internet never recovered, and honestly, neither did we.
Throwback: The Brittany Mahomes Courtside Video That Broke the Internet in 2022
It was February 16, 2022. Patrick Mahomes and his then-fiancée, Brittany Matthews, showed up courtside to watch Texas Tech take on Baylor in Lubbock. Cameras caught the couple chatting, and lip readers on the internet got to work immediately. The verdict? Brittany leans over to a friend and says, "Patrick told me no resting b*tch face," right before pulling the goofiest, most exaggerated smile known to mankind. Patrick, meanwhile, had already turned back to watch the game, completely unbothered.
The internet was divided but mostly delighted. Half the comment sections were roasting her, the other half were quoting Le'Veon Bell, who reposted the clip and simply wrote "lol she funny af." Which, to be fair, is the correct take. The whole thing was deeply human: a famous woman at a high-profile public event being reminded to smile, responding by making the least natural smile in human history. Relatable does not even begin to cover it.
Brittany Mahomes Was Already Used to the Heat
What made the moment land so hard was the context. By 2022, Brittany Mahomes was already one of the most scrutinised WAGs in the NFL, and Patrick was only three years into his Chiefs starting career. Every facial expression, every stadium interaction, every Instagram story was being picked apart online. The "resting b*tch face" conversation made total sense when you think about it. The woman could not sit courtside at a college basketball game without the internet turning it into a news cycle. Patrick, knowing that, and apparently giving her a pregame heads-up, is somehow both very funny and very sweet.
It was not even her most controversial public moment at the time; that honour goes to her celebrating a Chiefs playoff win by firing a confetti cannon at Arrowhead Stadium, which somehow became a whole national conversation. The resting b*tch face clip just hit different because it was candid, unscripted, and genuinely hilarious.
Four Years Later, Brittany Owns Every Room She Walks Into
The woman who was getting roasted for her facial expressions in 2022 is now a Super Bowl champion's wife, a Kansas City Current co-owner, and someone who responds to internet criticism with "stay bothered." She did not tone herself down. She just got louder. The resting b*tch face era was really just the origin story, a preview of a woman who was never going to apologise for existing loudly in public spaces, whether Patrick signed off on it or not.
And somewhere out there, that clip still lives on TikTok, still getting stitched and reposted every few months. Some videos are just forever. "Patrick told me no resting b*tch face" is one of them.
