Gracie Hunt is the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. While her father helps run one of the most prominent and dominant NFL franchises in the league right now, Gracie Hunt works as a social media influencer. And one of her recent photoshoots went viral for all the wrong reasons last week.
Last week, Gracie Hunt shared a series of photos on X – the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter – that featured her posing in nothing but a pair of high heels and a black Kobe Bryant No. 24 Los Angeles Lakers jersey.
“Mindset is everything…make it Mamba #MambaMentality #Mentality #BetterToday #BetterEveryDay #Progress #Inspo #LevelUp,” Gracie Hunt said in a post on X.

It’s not clear why exactly Hunt chose to post these photographs or perform this photoshoot, but it certainly caught her a lot of attention online as some people found the post very insensitive to Bryant and his family while others seemed to enjoy the tribute to the late Lakers legend.
Absolutely disgusting…..put some respect on Kobe name… https://t.co/bxCPx1mo38

Anyone that has a problem with these pictures is just jealous. She's showing her beautiful legs. This coming from a Raider fan.

A great tribute to Kobe Bryant. I don't understand why there are so many haters. They need to get their own lives.

Regardless of how they were received, the photos went absolutely viral on social media, getting more than 100,000 views since they were posted on Thursday. So if her goal was engagement, it certainly worked.
