“Internet and social media can be scary”: 2x Super Bowl champ drops blunt statement as Travis Hunter deletes social media amid fan backlash

Travis Hunter's fiancée, Leanna Lenee, has faced significant backlash on social media recently. Over the past few weeks, fans have consistently criticized her actions, prompting reactions from the latest Heisman Trophy winner.

LeSean "Shady" McCoy addressed the situation on his X page on Tuesday. The two-time Super Bowl winner criticized those advising Hunter against his fiancée, claiming it's all about clout-chasing. He emphasized that Hunter has people who can advise him.

“MESSAGE TO ALL THESE KNOW IT ALL grown men that’s old as hell with tons of BM’s who want to give Travis Hunter so much advice 😂😂 MIND YA BUSINESS PLEASE!! I’m sure @Deionsanders is giving him a lot of advice from the heart, not from Clout like yall ….. internet and social media can be scary,” McCoy wrote.

McCoy's words come at a crucial time as the criticism continues to intensify. The backlash has led the Colorado standout to deactivate his Instagram account on Sunday. Leanna followed suit a few hours later, taking the couple off the social media space.

In a Twitch stream addressing the backlash, Travis Hunter candidly discussed the emotional toll the criticism has taken on both of them. He revealed that Lenee was deeply affected, crying herself to sleep and consuming a significant amount of alcohol due to the negativity.

“Y’all hate on me then you go hate on my girl,” Hunter said. “I feel the same thing that she feels. We’re inseparable. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting I’m hurting [and vice versa]..."

“She’s still sleeping. She’s lump. You know when you’re hurt you just cry yourself to sleep and you be gone. She’s drunk OD amount tonight for no reason.”

Amid the escalating social backlash, Hunter has remained steadfast in his support for Leanna, leaving no room for doubt about his unwavering commitment. He has made it clear that he’s in it for the long haul in their five-year relationship.
