Travis Hunter has stuck up for his long-term girlfriend and fiancee Leanna Lenee following some criticism about her behavior at a Buffaloes game

Travis Hunter has stood up for his fiancee Leanna Lenee after she received some serious backlash for her behavior at a Buffaloes game.

The Heisman Trophy winner has been with Lenee since 2022 and they recently announced their engagement in February this year. The pair have been inseparable off the field and Hunter regularly posts loving pictures of himself with Lenee on social media.

However, the 23-year-old has been hit with criticism online after she was spotted looking pretty annoyed with Hunter after the last Buffaloes game of the season. Lenee also was seen having to be nudged by Colorado head coach Deion Sanders at the Heisman Trophy awards ceremony, after Hunter won the coveted prize earlier in December.

But now, Hunter has set the record straight on his YouTube podcast, where he told co-host Boog Knight III that he is done talking about the situation. The 21-year-old said: For people that’s talking about Leanna being mad? We were talking about what we’re going to do with the family when I leave.

“So if you all want to keep talking, you can keep talking. I’m not going to say nothing else about it.”

Boog agreed with Hunter’s sentiment and hyped up his current success, as he replied: “Yeah, we’re leaving that alone man, it is what it is. Let miserable people be miserable people, you winning, keep winning – it look good on you.”

Lenee herself has also spoken out on the backlash she has received, as she was spotted in a video slamming the fans who had been criticising her behavior. The 23-year-old said: “This Heisman ceremony, this is making me so mad because anyone who knows me knows I support Travis in every win, everything he does, because I truly love that man.

“He is perfect in my eyes. So, when his name was called, his mom didn’t get up so I was like, ‘oh, maybe I don’t get up, maybe I just sit here.’ So I sat there. As soon as I’ve seen Travis get up, then I thought it was appropriate to strand up, greet him, congratulate him. But then, there was a camera right in front of Coach Prime and I knew they were going to film that moment, and because of how people are online, I was like, ‘I don’t want to be in that shot, so I’m going to sit down.’

“So I try to sit down, so I’m not in the camera while I’m crying. People are going to be like, ‘why is she crying?’ Stuff like that. And so I got out of the camera purposefully so they can have their moment. That’s all it was. No one told me to stand up, no one told me to celebrate with him.

“I was just sitting there crying. I wanted to take it in myself too. I was super excited for him. But I wanted the moment to be about him and his family.”
