Hunter received the Heisman Trophy earlier this month for his accomplishments in college football. Travis Hunter has deactivated his Instagram account a few days after he spoke out regarding the backlash his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, received recently. Across social media, some users claimed that Hunter and Lenee were having a “heated discussion” and made comments about Lenee’s supposed lack of support for Hunter. Others encouraged the college football player to reevaluate their relationship if she wasn’t going to be actively celebrating his success.
“She’s still sleeping,” Hunter said on Twitch. “You know, when you’re hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep? She drunk an OD amount tonight for no reason.”. “It’s hard on me because I can’t even help her,” he added. The college football player continued to explain how the incident has affected him, saying: “Y’all hate on me and then y’all go and hate on my girl. Bro, I feel the same thing that she feels. We’re inseparable, bro. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting, of course I’m going to be hurting. If I’m hurting, of course she’s going to be hurting.”.
He ended the stream by clarifying what the two were discussing his family at the ceremony. “Some of them wanted to go back to the hotel, some of them didn’t,” he said. “People are saying that I’m like, ‘What am I supposed to do? Just sit here?’” she said in response to one of the viral clips. “That’s not what I said, first of all,” she said.
