Travis Hunter Stands Strong Against Critics of His Relationship with Leanna Lenee

During a recent livestream with The Shade Room, Travis Hunter didn’t hold back, responding directly to the “haters” who were disparaging his bond with Leanna Lenee. The talented football player expressed his frustration with those who continuously comment negatively about his personal life, emphasizing that he is tired of their opinions invading his peace.

“They want me to be unhappy. They don’t want me to be in a relationship. I’m not going to lie, the comments and the people… and the hatred that I’m getting, it’s [draining]. It’s draining for sure. I’m definitely not going to be myself for a minute,” Travis stated passionately during the stream.

He addressed the relentless gossip, pointing out that critics seem to always find new reasons to voice discontent about his relationship. This constant public discourse about his love life has clearly taken a toll on him.

“We are just a topic right now. Why would I break up with my girl, because the internet wants me to? Nobody knows me or her personally. Bro, just leave us alone, bro. I’ve been with my girl for five years, and all of a sudden this year y’all want to say something,” he added, reiterating his commitment to Leanna.

On the night of December 23, it was reported by The Shade Room that Travis appeared to have deactivated his Instagram account. The reason for this sudden move remains unclear, leaving fans to speculate if it is a temporary respite from social media chaos or a more permanent decision. This occurred against the backdrop of a resurfaced throwback video that showed a woman, who resembled his fiancée, engaging in a dance with another man at a party, the timing of which remains uncertain.

Travis Hunter Defends Leanna Lenee Against Online Backlash

Travis’ remarks come after Bow Wow attempted to offer him advice regarding Leanna. Bow Wow raised concerns about Leanna’s intentions after social media users highlighted her engagement with Anthony Edwards’ Instagram posts, particularly her use of flirtatious emoji.

This isn’t the first incident where Travis has defended Leanna against negative commentary. Following his Heisman Trophy win, Leanna faced scrutiny over her demeanor during the ceremony and at a meet-and-greet, where her reaction appeared less than thrilled. Travis took to his livestream to assert that he knows Leanna well and is confident in their relationship. Leanna Lenee has also addressed these criticisms through various videos.

“Find something else to talk about. Talking about my girl. Go find a girl, go find life. Stop worrying about what I got going on, I know what I got! I know my girl. My girl has been with me for five years, and y’all just started being with me. Come on man, y’all do something else with y’all life,” Travis passionately stated.
