Leanna Lenee, the fiancée of Colorado Buffaloes two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, has addressed the disturbing online hate she’s been receiving from trolls over the past 48 or so hours.
Travis Hunter was named the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner after a historic season in Boulder. Unfortunately, Hunter and Lenee haven’t been able to fully enjoy the special honors because of the rapidly increasing criticism from online trolls.
For instance, fans accused her of berating Hunter when he was seen celebrating with Buffaloes cheerleaders. Other trolls thought she didn’t seem all that content at the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
In an eight-minute video posted on her TikTok, Leanna Lenee addressed those accusations as well as fan claims that she’s a “gold digger”:
Regarding the viral moment with Hunter and the cheerleaders, Lenee stated that she was upset at security guards for not allowing her onto the field. Here’s what she said about the Heisman ceremony:
“Anyone who knows me knows I support Travis in everything he does because I truly, truly love that man. He is perfect in my eyes.”
