Aspen Vaughn has no regrets about going to the police after she was physically accosted by Jackson Mahomes, the influencer and younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, she has had to endure death threats and significant financial losses due to a decrease in business since the incident in March 2023.
Vaughn, who is the owner of Aspen's Restaurant and Lounge, accused Mahomes of unwanted sexual advances. This was confirmed by security camera footage taken in her office after Mahomes, who was 22 at the time, asked to speak privately. According to The Kansas City Star, Mahomes had been a regular at the restaurant, and his behavior on the night of March 3 was erratic. Vaughn recalled, “He was definitely out of control. I talked to my daughter afterward and she’s like, ‘He doesn’t remember that night. Like, he was so messed up.’”
When it became known that Vaughn and her staff were less than pleased with his presence, Mahomes approached the 40-year-old CEO. Vaughn described, “And out of nowhere, he just grabbed me by the neck and like forcefully kissed me.” He then attempted to kiss her two more times, before he was forcibly removed from the restaurant.
When police arrived on the scene, they seized surveillance footage and gave Vaughn the option to press charges. She declined but believes Mahomes should be held responsible. Vaughn said, “Should there be consequences for his actions? Yeah, absolutely. What he did was wrong.”
Unfortunately, it is Vaughn and her Aspen's staff who have greatly suffered since that night. According to The Kansas City Star, business at the once popular establishment has been down more than 75 percent since March. Additionally, a fire alarm was pulled, which caused significant water damage.
Vaughn has even gone so far as to tell the District Attorney that she would like the charges against Mahomes dropped. She expressed her fear for her safety, saying, “It’s definitely hard. I even told the DA, can you drop the charges? I don’t feel safe. I don’t want to be part of this. Like, I’m tired of being followed. Like, I can’t do this. I’m strong. But this is insane. You don’t understand, our day-to-day is insane.”
