“I don’t want to go,” “I want to be there when he gets married and when he gets drafted. I’m going to watch this from home. “At the end of the day, I would always tell him he’s the best player anyway so he’s got to go out there and play like it. Every time I’d tell him that he’d go out there and play like he’s the best player in the world.”

YouTuber Investigated That Travis Hunter’s Fiance Leanna Leene, Worked As A Stripper
A YouTube channel called House of Hypocrites uploaded a video in which the popular YouTuber claimed Leanna worked as an exotic dancer in the Atlanta Strip club Cheetah when she was 18 or 19.
The YouTuber also claimed to have spoken to one of Leanna’s alleged former “clients” and offered photos and text messages showing her dancing at the establishment before meeting Travis.
However, the YouTuber did not provide strict evidence to his viewers. As the story goes, someone hit up the YouTube channel’s host, Three Green, with a message in his comments section saying,
“during the pandemic my homie and I stayed in the Cheetah because it was one of the only strip clubs still open at the time. She was working there…”

TG text messaged Leanna through the cash app, telling her he had evidence that she worked at Cheetah and asking if she wanted to make a statement. Rather than reply, Leanna changed her name on the cash app.
Leanna has denied these allegations, asserting she was a bartender at the establishment.
Critics have pointed out that Georgia law prohibits bartending under 21, raising questions about her claims.
Moreover, Leanne has responded by threatening legal action against the YouTuber, calling the allegations false and defamatory.
Hunter and Leanee have expressed frustration with the public scrutiny, with Hunter showing support for his fiancee.
They indicated that they may take legal steps to address what they describe as baseless attacks on Leanee’s reputation.
In addition, after Travis accepted the Heisman Trophy, he addressed claims that his fiance, Leanna, was disrespectful during fan interactions. During the December 15, 2024, twitch stream, he said,
“Find something else to talk about,””Go find a life. Stop worrying about what I’ve got going on. I know what I got. My girl’s been with me for five years. Y’all are just now starting to talk about me and just now starting to be with me.”

However, Travis dispelled the speculation, explaining that he and Leanna were discussing what his family would do while he was taking photos at the event.
