‘Furious’ Travis Hunter reveals his girlfriend has been “crying and drinking” all day because of online hate

Travis Hunter was meant to have the most memorable week of his life after he nearly completed a sweep of all the top college football awards. He won the AP College Football Player of the Year, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Honors, the Chuck Bednarik Award, the Fred Biletnikoff Award, the Paul Hornung Award, the Walter Camp Award, and the coveted Heisman Trophy. However, his happiness in winning these awards has quickly turned sour.

This is because of his girlfriend Leanna Lenee and their relationship that has been thrust into the public domain. Over the past few days, fans have expressed their concerns over Travis Hunter and the relationship he has with his fiancee.

Her ‘bossy’ attitude towards him and her reluctance to stand up right after the star player’s name was announced as the Heisman winner are being viewed as red flags.

In light of this criticism, Travis Hunter has had enough. He had a strong message to send those who have called her out on his live stream.

The dual-position player believes the fans are blowing this out of proportion and targeting his relationship for the sake of clicks. He is confident in his relationship and knows what type of girl Lenee is.

The backlash that Lenee has been receiving has resulted in her feeling low. She has since made her Instagram account private, but her TikTok remains public. In addition to this, Hunter revealed his girlfriend had been drinking all day and crying after reading the harsh comments from the public.

It is unfortunate to hear that his fiancee is punishing herself over the public criticism.

A few NFL veterans expressed their concerns about Travis Hunter’s fiancee Leanna Lenee after the Heisman incident

However, Hunter defended his woman like a good man would. Despite his appeal to the fans to be positive and send good messages to her, a few veterans stepped in and echoed the sentiments of the talented star being in a dangerous relationship.

Former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell commented “I’m just hoping he doesn’t have to find out the hard way,” in his response video. Furthermore, Shannon Sharpe and Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson hoped that Travis Hunter knew what he was doing.

However, they gave him the benefit of the doubt. In retrospect, there have been a lot of reasons why Hunter’s relationship has been in the limelight.

The first red flag was after Leanna Lenee revealed during a TikTok Q&A session that she ignored Hunter initially because he was not her type. She admitted to seeing him as “just another athlete” but soon enough, he became an important part of her life. From the way that she phrased it, fans began to speculate that she got feelings once she realized the potential that he had.

The next concern started after she was featured in Travis Hunter’s Adidas endorsement after he announced signing with the brand. Then she began to give him attitude while he was in a fan meet-and-greet, and the final straw was her behavior at the Heisman Award ceremony.

Irrespective of what the public perception might be, Travis Hunter is his own man. He knows what is at stake for him and as he said, they have been together for five years and know each other very well. His relationship is an aspect of his personal life that should not be interfered with.
