Gracie Hunt, Daughter Of Chiefs Owner, Prompts Outrage With Parade Shooting Post
Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs co-owner Clark Hunt, got scolded for sharing a glam photo of her holding the Super Bowl trophy in a downcast post about the parade shooting.
“Read the room,” one angry commenter wrote on X Thursday.
The team’s victory celebration turned tragic when an apparent argument erupted in gunfire, killing at least one person and wounding at least 22, including many children.
On X Wednesday, Hunt wrote of a “perfect day” of love “turned upside down in an instant.” She expressed anger at the violence and heartbreak for the victims, but celebratory photos of her on the parade route mitigated the message, many said.
The most beautiful, perfect day of love, laughter, & celebration at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade turned upside down in an instant.
I’m still processing today’s tragedy.💔
I love this city and I’m angry at what took place and heartbroken for the victims, their families, & the… pic.twitter.com/QwTXAinO9H— Gracie Hunt (@gracelynhunt) February 15, 2024
Hunt, a former Miss USA contestant, often posts photos of herself on Instagram to promote the team and her fitness lifestyle.
However, critics say the pics of her reveling in the parade while she mourned the tragedy crossed the line.
Read the room. Your pictures are not very somber. Those can wait for another time. It's insensitive.

Try it without the pictures next time.

Gracie Hunt is either thick or has no moral backbone. I'm assuming it's both. Would be for the best if she'd deleted that selfish and highly insensitive post altogether with her hideous account. No one needs to see it right now, or ever.

Find someone who loves you half as much as Gracie Hunt loves posting fit checks after a tragedy https://t.co/qsh2jNq6qs

I feel like the selfies at the end of your statement are a weird flex but ok

Nice words. Maybe skip the posting of the silly selfies and PR photos on this one?
