Travis Hunter slams online haters targeting fiancée Leanna Lenee: “Why would I break up with my girl just because of the internet?”

Travis Hunter’s career has been on the rise but his personal life has seemingly plummeted due to the hate his fiancée Leanna Lenee has gotten over the last few weeks. Now Travis has appeared on a podcast and defended his fiancée in public, slamming the ones who have hated and trolled Leanna. Appearing on a podcast, Travis said, “So if you all want to keep talking, you can keep talking. I'm not going to say nothing else about it."
Travis spoke about how he failed to understand that why should he break up with his fiancée and girlfriend of two years just because the internet expects him to. He also spoke about how this hatred, and trolling has been a “draining” experience for him and his fiancée. Travis said, “It’s draining.Why would I break up with my girl because the Internet want me to break up my girl. Just leave me alone.”

This is not the first time Travis has publicly defended his fiancée whom he is planning to marry, as per reports, in the summer of 2025, probably in the month of May. Travis has constantly reiterated that fans have misunderstood his girlfriend and has repeatedly asked fans and internet trollers to stay out of their relationship. However, this has not happened. Every action of Travis’ fiancée Leanna Lenee has been under extreme scrutiny.
Last week, Travis’ fiancée Leanna appeared in a self made video where she addressed all the statements and arguments that have been made against her. Appearing teary eyed she defended herself and reiterated to Travis’ fans that the only reason she is with him is because of the person he is and for his kind nothing; as per her, she does not care about the wealth and fame that Travis has currently. But this has not stopped the internet trollers. Travis’ fiancée Leanna received so much hate even after posting such a heartfelt video, that she had to forcefully make her social media accounts private. Appearing teary eyed in the video and making her social media accounts private speaks a lot about the state of her mental health.
