Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter defends fiancée Leanna Lenee after she received backlash from fans. Travis Hunter has spoken out about the criticism his fiancée received following his Heisman Trophy win. The University of Colorado Boulder cornerback received the Heisman Trophy on Saturday (December 14). While the top player in college football was taking photos with fans and family members at an event over the weekend, his fiancée Leanna Lenee was seen sitting on a couch.
In photos and videos posted from the event, Lenee seemingly appeared to tell Hunter: “Am I supposed to just sit here all day?”. 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.
The cornerback went on to address the negative comments during a livestream on Twitch on Sunday (December 15). During the livestream, he explained that Lenee ended up crying herself to sleep over the comments from critics. “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.”.
