Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, have decided to take a break from social media following a wave of online criticism. Their Instagram accounts have been deactivated, a move that was noticed by fans on Sunday. Since Hunter was named college football’s best player this year, he has faced numerous challenges online, including rumors and critiques of his relationship.
Controversy erupted when Lenee’s reaction to Hunter’s Heisman win became the subject of discussion. Some took issue with Lenee sitting down after giving Hunter a hug and congratulating him, while everyone else in the room remained standing and clapping. Hunter later returned to Lenee, embracing her once again before making his way to the stage. Additionally, a video of Lenee appearing irritated while watching Hunter meet with fans at a meet-and-greet event sparked further criticism.
Despite their efforts to defend their relationship, the couple continued to face comments and criticism online. This led them to deactivate their social media accounts temporarily, as they needed a break from dealing with the negativity. Hunter, in particular, has an important upcoming game in the Alamo Bowl against BYU and wants to focus on finishing his collegiate career on a high note. Despite being projected as a top five pick in the NFL Draft, Hunter has chosen to play in the bowl game to honor his commitment to his team and coaches.
It’s worth noting that Hunter and Lenee have been together for five years, and they have repeatedly emphasized their strong bond. However, critics and trolls on social media have disregarded their statements and continued to fuel the fire.
As the couple takes a break from social media, they are determined to put the negativity behind them and focus on their respective endeavors. Hunter is preparing for his final collegiate game, showcasing his skills as both a wide receiver and cornerback. He is expected to be a top pick in next year’s NFL Draft, further solidifying his status as a talented athlete.
