Jackson Mahomes' accuser regrets police involvement, claims business suffered: Report
The Jackson Mahomes arrest saga might be nearing an end, but the regrets might linger for a while.
Back in February, weeks after his brother Patrick won the Super Bowl, Jackson allegedly grabbed a restaurant owner in Overland Park and kissed her without her consent. Aspen Vaughn called the police to inform them about the assault. Jackson was charged with three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery and a fourth misdemeanor count of battery. He was later released on a $100,000 bond.
But with the pair set to return to a Johnson County courtroom on Friday, Vaughn has expressed regret over the fact that she called the police in the first place. During an interview with FOX reporter Malik Jackson, she said that she's still not happy with what transpired that day, but that the aftermath has affected her business.
“What happened that evening we don’t condone it – it wasn’t OK, but in the same aspect we have our lives to live and to go on, and I feel like a lot of people just made assumptions and came after us,” Vaughn said.
Vaughn told FOX that, since the Jackson Mahomes incident, she lost up to 75% of her business.
"We’ve had gas pipes cut. We’ve had the AC pipes cut from the outside, you know – you name it – it’s pretty much happened," she said.
What does Jackson Mahomes do for a living?
Jackson Mahomes has made a living off of social media. The 22-year-old has over one million followers on TikTok, 36,000 followers on Twitter and over 200,000 followers on Instagram.
The brother of Patrick Mahomes graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in May 2022 with a bachelor's degree in marketing. He tweeted last summer that he would need to begin looking for a job. His brother has a $450 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Besides his role as a social media influencer, he also owns his own merchandise line called "Unathletic" which he launched in 2020. But it doesn't appear that he has other career endeavors since his graduation last spring.
