Travis Hunter, the celebrated 2024 Heisman Trophy winner and star player for the Colorado Buffaloes, recently found himself in the midst of online controversy—not for his accomplishments on the field, but due to a viral moment involving his fiancée, Leanna Lenee. During Hunter’s award celebration, a video surfaced of Lenee questioning her role in the event, drawing significant backlash from fans and sparking heated debates about their relationship.
The Viral Moment That Stirred Controversy
In the video, Travis Hunter is seen interacting with fans and posing for photos while Leanna Lenee sits nearby on a couch. At one point, Lenee audibly asks, “Am I supposed to sit here all day?” Her comment was met with a wave of criticism online, with fans accusing her of being unsupportive and disrespectful.

Social media quickly exploded with opinions, with many fans expressing disappointment in both Lenee’s behavior and Hunter’s choice of partner. One Twitter user remarked, “I don’t know what’s more alarming, the attitude of the girl or the fact that he tolerates this disrespect in public.” Another user criticized Hunter directly, saying, “He willingly chooses her even though she’s 100% wrong for him. Whatever happens next is on him.”
Others went even further, suggesting that Lenee’s attitude could negatively impact Hunter’s career. One comment read, “If he doesn’t get rid of her, she’ll ruin him and leave when his career is over. He needs to think long-term.”

He hasn’t even made it to the league yet. If he breaks up with her he needs to do it quick and quiet almost no contact because he’s not getting out of this relationship unscathed, trust me.

So hard to watch. On the biggest day of his life, she’s still making it about her. She doesn’t belong there. I hope this guy signed a prenup. He’s too nice for all of that.

If he don’t get rid of her she’ll ruin him and leave him because his career will be ruined and she’ll no longer want him And leave him. Atleast if he leaves her now he’ll still be in position to take care of his child in a Substantial way.
