AceShowbiz - Travis Hunter's fiancee, Leanna Lenee, faces a new wave of criticisms following her comments about their personal lives. Opening up about an aspect of Hunter's life that underscores his unwavering discipline and commitment to sobriety, she said the athlete would sit outside for hours while she's partying because he's not drinking.

In a resurfaced video, Lenee disclosed that despite the party atmosphere typical of college life, Hunter avoids alcohol. "He doesn't drink," Lenee shared. "I have tequila like in my veins. So I drink - I don't drink a lot, but I drink - and I used to party and stuff. He would literally drive me, sit outside for hours while I'm inside partying, and then take us home."

While some praised Hunter for supporting Lenee's social life without compromising his personal choices, many others criticized Lenee for being a bad influence for him.

The mixed reactions added to a pile of significant negative attention she received online. She landed in hot water for saying he was not her type, was blasted for looking annoyed when Hunter took pictures with his fans, and faced backlash for seemingly being reluctant to stand up when he was honored at the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Addressing the scrutiny in an emotional eight-minute TikTok video, Lenee defended herself, "When his name was called, I instantly was going to get up. If you watch the video, his mom didn't get up, so I was like, 'Oh, maybe I don't get up, I just sit here.' "

Lenee revealed that she consulted Hunter before making the video to clear her name. The 23-year-old emphasized how Hunter's support extended to allowing her to make public statements for her peace of mind. "I got permission from Travis to say these things," she clarified, aiming to address misunderstandings and restore her public image.
