Heisman Winner Travis Hunter Deactivates Instagram Over Fiancée Controversy

Travis Hunter and fiancée Leanna Lenee face growing online backlash following viral videos and resurfaced footage.

Travis Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, deactivated his Instagram account after weeks of intense online scrutiny targeting his fiancée, Leanna Lenee.
Criticism of Lenee began after her perceived lack of enthusiasm during the Heisman ceremony and her reaction at a fan meet-and-greet event with Hunter.
A resurfaced video allegedly showing Lenee dancing on another man before her relationship with Hunter added to the backlash, despite the clip being several years old.
Hunter defended Lenee in a Twitch livestream, emphasizing their five-year relationship and urging critics to stop targeting her online.
Sports analysts like Nate Burleson have commented that the couple's public sharing of their relationship has contributed to the heightened scrutiny.
