Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner and standout college football player, has chosen to deactivate his Instagram account following persistent criticism directed at his fiancée, Leanna Lenee. Over the past weekend, a video resurfaced online showing Leanna dancing with another man, which sparked a fresh wave of negative comments. Although the clip is believed to have been recorded before they began dating, it still caused significant backlash against her, according to TMZ.
As the online negativity escalated, Hunter decided to remove his Instagram page on Sunday. While it remains unclear whether this decision was directly related to the criticism, Hunter had previously appealed to his followers, asking them to stop attacking Leanna.
In a video message, he said, “Talking about my girl? Go talk about your girl. Go find a girl. Go find a life! Stop worrying about what I got going on.”
Leanna Lenee, who got engaged to Hunter in February 2024, has faced ongoing criticism since November. She was mocked for her reaction following Hunter’s big game against Oklahoma State, as well as after his Heisman Trophy win. Additionally, some people criticized her for appearing upset when Hunter interacted with fans after the award ceremony.
Despite the continued backlash, Leanna responded with a heartfelt video, expressing her deep love and unwavering support for Hunter. “He is perfect in my eyes,” she said, affirming her commitment and admiration for her fiancé even amid the negative attention.
