- Video from Sept. 21 at MetLife Stadium shows a woman grabbing Patrick Mahomes’ headband that appeared intended for 10-year-old Chiefs fan Joey Masters after a 22-9 win over the Giants.
- Masters told local station KCTV5, “I just want that band back really bad,” saying Mahomes made eye contact and tried to hand it to him before it was taken.
- Nina Miller, identified as the woman in the clip, posted a TikTok apology, saying she mistakenly believed the item was being given to her and that she felt horrible upon learning it was meant for the child.
- Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, said on Instagram, “We found him! Surprises ensuing!” indicating the family has located the boy and plans to make amends.
- Joey’s mother called the moment heartbreaking but urged people not to harass Miller and asked for the headband to be returned, as online backlash continued to grow.
