Travis Hunter was declared the winner of this year’s Heisman Trophy. However, instead of celebrating with his fiancee Leanna Lenee, the football player has found himself betwixt internet controversy. The public scrutiny towards his fiancee has now led her to deactivate social media.
Days following up on the Heisman Trophy ceremony, Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee have been engaged in defending themselves on the internet. Apparently, the internet has taken an interest in the couple’s personal life, often calling them out.
While they highly regard Hunter’s contribution to the sport, they don’t seem to have a tolerance for Lenee. Amid the reproach, Leanna Lenee has deactivated her Instagram account taking Travis Hunter’s lead.
This particular row of criticism started after the internet found Lenee’s reaction to Hunter’s announcement as the winner of the much-regarded trophy deeply unsettling. A clip made rounds on the internet where everybody gave Hunter a standing ovation—everyone except Lenee, who was urged by Colorado head coach Deion Sanders to stand up for him. This caused the public to speculate on their dynamics.
