Life always has its share of good and bad. And guess who knows it the best? Colorado Buffaloes dual threat Travis Hunter. Yes, the young chap did bag the much-coveted prize, the Heisman Award. But at the same time, his personal life has been a mess. The college football fans now find Hunter as a hot target. Not just him, they did not even spare his fiancée Leanna Lenee. They are bashing the couple so badly, that Hunter had to take a bold step.

Well, the hoopla started with Leanna and Hunter’s clip going viral from Oklahoma State. In that clip, the spark between the lovebirds seemed to be missing. The two were seen to be arguing. While Hunter tried to pacify Lenee with a kiss, she refused to reciprocate. Later on, during the Heisman award, Hunter’s sweetheart remained seated even when the two-way star took to the stage to grab the award. With this, the attacks got 100x. So Hunter had to do something about it.

On The Travis Hunter Show, the dual-threat opened up about how he tackled the situation. Looks like the athlete who is otherwise known for being that fun-loving chap, had a hard time dealing with all the hate. “All the haters are messing up for my supporters…I rarely take pictures now cause you never know what they going to do with it…I take a picture of Travis and then they gonna start talking bad about it,” confessed the Buffs’ dual threat. Now even then when it didn’t stop, Hunter had to take some serious action.

The two-way star continued, “People scare me, dog…because you never know who got good intentions…did you ask me what I did what I’ve been doing? Yeah I got a new security guard I walk around with security.” Yes, Hunter has stopped clicking pictures. After all, it gave his haters the free passes to rage the comment section. Instead of being critical of the Buffs’ player’s athletic skills, they stripped off Hunter for his personal life. Even though Hunter tried to turn off the comment section, it did not help. So he thought of deactivating his account to mark himself safe from all the positivity. However, he later claimed that he had to delete his account as it got hacked. The boy had been in so much mental pain, that his mother, Ferrante Edmonds too broke her silence.

She had her faith in the Lord believing that he was going to teach his son’s tormentors a lesson. So, as of now, Hunter’s mother will keep on praying. Edmonds then referred to a Biblical verse, “Cause I’m not going to take it to the streets. I’mma take it to my knees and I’mma pray about it cause he said touch not my anointed ones.”
