Travis Hunter: Fiancée Leanna Lenee Backlash Continues, Celebrities Weigh In Claressa Shields Shedeur Sanders Benzino Bow Wow
Share

Whew! Roommates, the internet is not showing any mercy ahead of the holidays for Travis Hunter and his fiancée Leanna Lenee. It began when fans misinterpreted the fiancée’s energy as negative in videos from at least two of Travis’ events. He has cleared the air, and so has she. Still, the internet continues to press into Leanna’s neck, resurfacing all kinds of alleged videos of her from the last few years. Now, celebrities like Deion Sanders’ son Shedeur, Claressa Shields, and Benzino are weighing in on the young couple’s situation!

Travis Hunter Sticks By His Fiancée Before Deactivating Social Media

Despite calls for Travis Hunter to end his engagement, the 21-year-old has already said he’s sticking by Leanna Lenee. After winning the Heisman, he delivered a SPICY message for the trolls on a live stream.

“Find something else to talk about. Talking about my girl. Go find a girl, go find life. Stop worrying about what I got going on, I know what I got! I know my girl. My girl been with me for five years, y’all just started being with me. Come on man, y’all do something else with y’all life,” he said in the video.

However, it looks like the pressure might be building at home! Over the weekend, Travis Hunter deactivated his Instagram page as internet trolls continued to dig into his fiancée’s past. Before deactivating, he had shared that the comments he was getting were “draining” and asked trolls to leave him alone.

By that time, social media detectives had resurfaced a video of a woman resembling Leanna posing and dancing with a man at a party.

Claressa Shields Goes OFF After Discovering Travis Deactivated His Social Media

Claressa Shields was NOT here for Travis seemingly being bullied off of social media. On Monday (December 23), she clocked the trolls on X (formerly Twitter).

“This why I go off on y’all and hurt y’all feelings! Why tf are you y’all trolling TRAVIS HUNTER for! Leave him tf alone! If he love the girl let him love her! Always in other mfs business! He too nice to yall ass! Mind yall MF’N business! Done made him deactivate his damn Instagram! I hate anybody who said something to him! Everybody not cut for that sh*t! Go accomplish something instead of being mean to athletes and celebrities! Stg, I wanna break yall damn fingers!”

In two additional posts, she explained that everyone isn’t built to be trolled. The statement might hit close to home for Claressa Shields. She’s been in the headlines all month after exchanging words with Remy Ma over Papoose on social media. Ma exposed text messages between the boxer and her estranged husband and accused him of cheating. He returned the allegations, and so did Claressa, who claimed Ma has two boyfriends.

The point is everyone ain’t built for that trolling sh*t! Y’all don’t know what that young man go thru! He just won a heisman trophy and all yall care about is his gf not standing up on time! Or his gf past or her saying he wasn’t her type. Y’all are miserable! Leave folks alone!…

— Claressa Gwoat Shields (@Claressashields) December 23, 2024

In another tweet, Claressa highlighted the hypocrisy of social media when it comes to mental health.

“Same mfs yelling ‘mental health is real’ be the same ones doing the bullying! I’ve conquered my depression, anxiety & suicidal thoughts 2 years ago! But fk y’all, I’m Built for y’all losers! I can get just a** dirty and mean! So when y’all talking crazy just know… imma mf!”

Shedeur Sanders Calls Out People Giving Advice Online

Deion Sanders’ son Shedeur and Travis Hunter are teammates on the Colorado Buffalos footage program. Shedeur, who is the quarterback, shares a close relationship with Hunter. Travis even shouted out Deion and Shedeur in his Heisman Trophy speech, expressing gratitude to them both.

In an X post shared on Sunday, Sanders called out folks offering online advice. He seemingly implied that people are weighing in for a viral moment and not out of genuine concern.

“All y’all athletes, entertainers, artist etc if y’all genuine trying to holla at trav y’all know how to get in touch with him or someone around. At this point y’all just posting for the algorithm trying to look cool,” he wrote.

Benzino Sends Love To Travis Hunter

Meanwhile, Benzino delivered a message directly to Travis Hunter. He told the youngin’ not to allow the internet to throw him off and to love his lady if he wants to.

Why Is The Internet Slamming Travis Hunter's Fiancé? 

On December 14, Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. Leanna, his mother, his football coach, Deion Sander,s and teammate Shedeur were all present for the ceremony. After he was named the winner, Leanna Lenee took a small beat to stand up from her seat and cheer. Still, she was on her feet when he approached his family and friends. They embraced first, and then Hunter went down the line. Needless to say, the internet was NOT here for what they perceived to be her attitude.

She later clarified that she was overthinking the moment and waiting for her man to stand up first across the room. Leanna also explained the context of another video of her and Travis at a pop-up shop event. A video captured the couple communicating about the next steps in their day, but the optics of the event and how she worded the question also threw Travis’ supporters all the way off!

Bow Wow Shares Advice For Travis

She has not spoken out again about the backlash, particularly amid the resurfaced and leaked videos of her allegedly twerking at the party and allegedly having intimate, in-home experiences with a man. At this time, it’s important to note that neither Leanna nor Travis have confirmed whether the woman in those clips is actually Leanna or someone who resembles her. She also has not commented about fans catching her in Anthony Edwards’ Instagram comment section seemingly being flirty. Still, the internet is eating them, and ANY OTHER heat they can dig up against Leanna, chile!

Ahead of comments from Sanders’ son, Claressa and Benzino, Bow Wow also shared advice for Hunter. Unlike the three celebs mentioned, Bow warned Travis to pay attention to the signs and go his independent way!

“Young brother snatch that ring back and get focused on what’s important. Bro, you in the media more for the broad than you is for winning the Heisman,” Bow Wow said in a video message.
