Angel ReeseI’m Crying’: Angel Reese Reacts to Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy Win defends Leanna Lenee after critics backlash against Lenee’s reaction to her fiancé, Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter, after receiving the prestigious Heisman Trophy, college football’s top honor.
When Hunter received the milestone, many stood up, applauding the wide receiver. Lenee, however, never joined the fray; it took the Buffaloes coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders to make her be on one’s feet.
Fans were disappointed after seeing Lenee’s act in X/Twitter. Many accuse her of being unsupportive of Hunter, some even telling him to leave her fiancée. A few defended the front, telling the critics not to interfere in their relationship and make immediate conclusions.

Reese then made another post blaming the critics for why most athletes don’t disclose their relationships publicly.
“I don’t know that boy at all. I’m just supporting another athlete but why do yall care so much? AGAIN, they are happy. Yall wanna be internet relationship experts so bad. This is why we want to keep things private cause yall always gonna try to find SOMETHING,”Reese added.
