Travis Hunter slams Instagram as online taunts target fiance mounts

Travis Hunter is off the gram.

Colorado’s two-way star made headlines Monday after deactivating his Instagram account amid a tidal wave of criticism that has recently engulfed his fiancee, Leanna Lenee.

Lenee has been at the center of online vitriol following Hunter’s Heisman Trophy win on Dec. 14, with her behavior at a fan event scrutinized on social media.

From there the ridicule has continued.

An older video that appeared to feature Lenee resurfaced early Monday and appeared to show her dancing on another man.

TMZ reported Monday “it’s believed to be a clip taken from several years ago — before (Lenee and Hunter) got together.”

Hunter, whose engagement to Lenee was revealed earlier this year, recently supported his fiancée in a Twitch livestream after the Heisman ceremony, saying she got drunk and cried herself to sleep in the wake of the hate.

“You ain’t never had no girl, so why y’all talking about me,” said the wide receiver and cornerback for the Buffaloes. “Find someone else to talk about … Go talk about your girl. Find a girl. Go find a life. Don’t worry about what I’m up to. I know what I got.

“My girl has been with me for five years. You’re just now starting to talk about me… You all need to do something else with your lives. Clickbait sites stop, you better stop, I tell you. There will something bad happens to you guys (if you) keep doing it. You better stop it. I’m not playing.”

Hunter, 21, previously defended Lenee when the two were embroiled in an awkward postgame moment last month.

Shortly after Colorado’s dominant 52-0 win over Oklahoma State, Hunter tried to hug Lenee, who appeared to turn away.

“There’s a lot of things that could happen in the stands, people don’t understand,” Hunter said on a December episode of “The Pivot Podcast.”

“She might look annoyed at me, but at the same time, there’s a lot of things she’s dealing with during the game. There’s a lot of things people can’t see from the camera.”

As the dispute has continued to grow, sports media personalities such as Shannon Sharpe and Nate Burleson have weighed in on Lenee and Hunter’s relationship.

In recent comments to TMZBurleson said, when one’s personal life is broadcast on a public platform, it is subject to the commentary that comes with it.

“It’s everybody else’s business because that couple put it out there,” said the former NFL receiver turned CBS analyst.

“Can’t complain when people react. It’s social media. You can’t speak your mind or keep your opinion to yourself when you’ve shared it with everyone.”

Hunter has the potential to be the No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
