Due to some recent backlash stemming from individuals around the internet, Colorado star Travis Hunter has stepped up his security game.
Hunter mentioned in a recent episode of the Travis Hunter Show that he hired a new bodyguard, noting, “All the haters are messing up for my supporters.”
“I rarely take pictures now because you don’t know what they’re going to do with it,” Hunter said. “People are weird. People scare me because you never know who’s got good intentions, and it can always go left at any moment. But it’s all good because I’ve got Frank the Tank. I got a new security guard. Y’all will get to meet him soon. His name is Frank. Frankenstein.”
While Hunter is no stranger to taking heat as one of the nation’s top athletes, the public criticism of his fiance, Leanna Lenee, weighed heavily on his decision to leave social media behind. The pair were criticized for some of her actions in public settings, including dancing with another man in a music video, being told to stand up at the Heisman ceremony, and several other embarrassing moments caught on camera.
“Don’t get on social media to go off,” Hunter continued. “That’s why I dumbed down what I show people now. I don’t be on social media as much. That would probably be, [what] I wish I realized earlier so it didn’t get to this point where I don’t gotta be on the apps.”
Hunter finished his thoughts on the situation by saying, “It’s bettered me. I live life happily. I walk around the house, happy not having social media. Watching YouTube, on the phone with my friends, playing a game with my friends. Just having fun. I just got a different type of joy in me now, not having that stress.”
