"This sounded pretty genuine": Fans console Travis Hunter's fiancee Leanna Lenee following emotional testimony after severe criticism

Following the Heisman ceremony, Travis Hunter's girlfriend Leanna Lenee faced widespread criticism from netizens. The source of the outrage is a viral video in which Leanna sits as others stand up after Hunter's name is announced until Coach Prime pats her on the shoulder. She promptly gets up and joins in the celebration.

People have taken this clip as a sign of disrespect and questioned her feelings for the Colorado Buffaloes star. This uproar is not just based on that clip. People have speculated about several other things like Leanna ignoring Travis' DM at first but later dating him. Trolls claimed that this was because Leanna came to know who he was and his worth later on.

To stop all this criticism, Leanna uploaded an eight-minute video on TikTok addressing everything that haters have brought up including the clip of them arguing that went viral after Colorado's victory against Oklahoma. While some remain unconvinced, most fans consoled Lenee on social media.

"she’s right, social media will try to break down every little thing to make it seem worse than what it is. their joint youtube shows them, she seems legit. but now she has a bad rap on social media, good luck to them" A fan commented.

Some fans pointed out that she should never explain herself to people's reactions based on a viral clip while others asked her to stay strong.

"This is so sad...she should never have to explain herself to people who think they know her life from a 5-second clip..." a fan wrote.

"stay strong. your man is a g and it takes a village to raise a champion like that! you are also a champion. don't let anyone or the internet let you, him, or your family feel otherwise!" a fan tweeted.

"They shouldn’t have to explain. They’re young and thrust into spotlight. Wish em the best. Back to AGI, robots and drones. There’s quite a bit happening in the world outside of young love." another fan said.

"Something bad gonna happen to y'all": Travis Hunter to clickbait pages

The 2024 Heisman winner isn't happy about the current hate his fiancee is getting. In a live stream on Twitch, Travis Hunter expressed his frustrations.

"I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl been with me for five years. Y'all are just not starting to talk about me and just not starting to be with me. Something bad gonna happen to y'all if y'all keep doing that. Y'all better stop that. All the clickbaiting pages," he said.
