Travis Hunter has defended his fiancée Leanna amid criticism over a viral video of his wife-to-be.
What should have been the happiest moment of Travis Hunter’s young career after winning the prestigious Heisman Trophy has instead been overshadowed by drama surrounding his fiancée, Leanna Lenee.
The 23-year-old has faced relentless criticism on social media, with trolls dissecting her actions and motives, pushing her to tears in a now-viral TikTok video where she defended her relationship with the 21-year-old Colorado Buffaloes star.

In the almost 8-minute video on her TikTok page, a visibly emotional Lenee addressed the wave of hate, firmly denying accusations that she’s a gold digger.
“I truly love that man,” she said through tears.
In a shocking revelation, Lenee admitted that Hunter had cheated on her in the past and that their relationship started under complex circumstances.

“He DM’d me when he had a girlfriend,” she shared. “I don’t do homewrecking, I’m not a side piece. I support women, so I would never do that to another woman, ’cause I would never want it done to me.”

Lenee also slammed claims that Deion Sanders forced her into the spotlight during Hunter’s win.

Over the weekend, trolls blasted Lenee for not standing up right away when Hunter won, calling her out saying Deion Sanders had to “force” her up in a clip that has since gone viral on the internet.
“I didn’t want to be in that shot,” she explained, adding, “I was emotional and didn’t want to take away from their moment.”
She further detailed a personal sacrifice Hunter made early in their relationship, revealing, “Travis used to take me to parties and wait outside for hours while I was inside drinking, then take me home.”

However, her revelations have further infuriated fans on social media, with some netizens calling for the Florida-born wide receiver to abandon plans to marry Lenee, having proposed to her back in February this year.

Despite Lenee’s heartfelt defence, some fans remain unconvinced.
Social media has erupted with warnings to Hunter, who is poised to make Lenee his wife soon.
One fan bluntly wrote: “Sounds like he needs to find a new girl. Ask any number of NFL players caught up in unnecessary drama.”

Another added: “Travis Hunter is young, so he doesn’t know the mistake he’s making with this girl right now. He’s gonna have to learn the hard way.”

Other reactions were equally brutal: “Travis Hunter leave her now,” wrote one user, while another quipped: “If he doesn’t run while he can, I’m definitely laughing later.”

One comment went so far as to warn, “This woman gonna ruin his life.”

The backlash underscores the challenges of navigating love in the spotlight, and while Hunter has defended Lenee passionately, the relationship remains a lightning rod for public opinion.
