The most celebrated night in college football devolved into chaos for Travis Hunter. His Heisman win should have captured everyone’s attention. Instead, online haters bombarded his fiancée, Leanna Lenee. A minor incident at a meet-and-greet and an old music video resurfacing sparked the internet’s fury. Despite this, Travis stood strong, backing Lenee every step of the way. When the pressure escalated, Deion Sanders intervened, providing substantial support for his player.

Following Travis Hunter’s New York victory, he spent the week defending his fiancée, Lenee, from social media criticism for not celebrating his win. Apparently, Deion had to nudge her to get up, and suddenly, the internet went wild, calling her disrespectful. But let’s be real: who hasn’t gotten caught up in the moment? Maybe she just didn’t realize the right time to stand. But then who cares? People were way too quick to judge her. Instead of feeding into the drama, Travis and Lenee tried their best to ignore the hate and stay focused. Respect to Travis for standing by her and showing that loyalty is the real win here.

However, now Travis Hunter’s all-time supporter, Deion Sanders, got in between the drama to support with the sweetest gesture during their practice session that’s captured by Well Off Media, where Coach Prime says, “What you came here to do, where is Mr. Hunter? Come here, man, come here, dog; bring your buddy here; get in the circle. I want you to know this in front of everybody: you know we love you; we got you; we appreciate you and him. Alright, bless him… break it down on Mr. Hunter.” That’s exactly how you stand with your squad.

Well, fans made it seem like Leanna was upset after their win, as when Hunter tried hugging her, she didn’t reciprocate well. But does this give everyone the right to make their lives worse? Even Hunter cleared the doubts several times, but then all this forced him to take a bold step.

Travis Hunter’s urge for the bold move

People’s hate for Leanna Lenee went up to the extent that they are now eyeing her every move, digging out the past. So, the day after Travis won the Heisman, a video dropped showing Lenee looking pretty salty while Travis was snapping pics with fans at a meet-and-greet. Isn’t it crazy to even think that? While nobody expected her to be the center of attention at the Heisman ceremony, she was still the one, but for all the wrong reasons. Now there’s this video circulating on the internet where Travis was all smiles with fans and Lenee was chilling nearby, looking mad. What even? However, she said, “Am I supposed to sit here all day?” and that made fans lose their minds. It’s not the end; there’s more to this drama.

Amid the ceremony video, another video hit the internet. It’s an old music video from three years ago with Lenee getting cozy with some SoundCloud rapper. But what’s wrong with that? But that stirred the pot. This controversy is not only affecting Travis Hunter’s personal life but also his professional life. We all know how important it is for Hunter to be a two-way star in the NFL, but even that’s at stake. After all this mess, former NFL players like ex-Detroit Lions WR Nate Burleson and former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant warned Travis Hunter that his relationship might hurt his NFL career. Now you can understand the level of this controversy.

Now this took a serious turn when Nate Burleson said, “It’s everybody else’s business that couple put it out there… can’t complain when they respond. That’s social media.” Despite the pressure, Hunter has stayed loyal and protected his fiancée. Moreover, we should at least give Travis Hunter’s opinion the benefit of the doubt; he knows his girl and her reaction, but it came to the extent that he had to deactivate his Insta, probably done with the trolls coming for her. However, the real question is, will he pop back on IG soon and clap back at all the critics? Let’s just wait and see what Hunter’s next move is.
