Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee Need to Toughen Up—and Take Notes from Katt Williams

Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee could benefit from thicker skin—or better yet, a lesson from Katt Williams, who famously said, “Haters are gonna hate.” Trying to counter every petty jab is a losing game, and it’s time they realized it.

Hunter, the Heisman Trophy-winning star, has already cemented his prowess on the field. But off the field, the spotlight has turned to Lenee, who’s facing accusations of being a fame-seeking gold-digger. Her nearly eight-minute TikTok defense? While well-intentioned, it perfectly illustrates why engaging with online trolls is futile. The internet isn’t interested in her side of the story—it thrives on drama, and her responses only fuel the fire.

Take the Adidas event clip, for example. Whether her reaction was petty or a moment of being caught off guard, the internet has already decided its narrative. Now she’s stuck trying to explain herself to strangers who’ve made up their minds. Spoiler alert: it’s a battle she won’t win. Lenee needs to decide—either learn to play the game or accept that living in the public eye comes with endless speculation.

And Travis? Focus, man. The NFL is calling, and you don’t need to get sucked into a social media circus over your fiancée’s drama. Your job is to keep your eyes on the prize and let Lenee handle her critics on her own terms.

Here’s the harsh reality: no matter how much Lenee tries to clear her name, there will always be those who see her as a gold-digger, a social climber, or worse. The internet thrives on preconceived narratives, and in the public’s eye, she’s already guilty. So why waste energy trying to sway people who aren’t invested in the truth? Live your life, tune out the noise, and let the trolls tire themselves out.

Katt Williams nailed it: haters are just doing their job. The sooner Travis and Leanna accept this, the better off they’ll be. In the end, the only opinions that matter are their own—and if they’re happy, that’s all that counts.
