Travis Hunter's wife posts concerning TikTok of her crying after brutal criticism from online trolls
Over the past year, Lenee has been at the center of a firestorm of hate from online commenters - especially over perceived slights directed at Hunter - during the 2024 college football season.
That season ended with Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy, the second ever won by a player from the University of Colorado, and led to him getting picked second-overall by Jacksonville. A few weeks later, Hunter and Lenee would tie the knot in Tennessee at a glamorous wedding following years of dating.
But those years of affection and dating were ignored by trolls who lobbed accusations of gold digging and fame hunting toward Lenee throughout the prior season.
Now, Lenee is showing an insight into how that affected her. In a recent video, she posted footage of her from back in December - crying fresh out of the shower.
The video, posted to TikTok, had the sound of a Church sermon playing behind it while Lenee spoke into the camera. However, nothing that she said was audible.
@leannalenee6
I wish I could go back and hug December me🥹, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way. I don't even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. ❤️ Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.

Instead, context for the footage was given in the caption of the video.
'I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way,' Lenee wrote.
'I don't even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown [sic] and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding.
'I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.'
Comments under the video were supportive, including one from WNBA superstar Angel Reese which read, 'so proud of you bb! the storm doesn't last forever!'
2024 was a rocky season for Lenee and Hunter's relationship as the public cast doubts on Lenee's motives for dating the star.
This forced Lenee to defend herself in a lengthy eight-minute video posted after Hunter won the Heisman.
As Hunter was announced as the winner of the prestigious award, Lenee initially remained sitting while Hunter's mother and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders stood up.
She was accused of being a gold digger before she tied the knot with the ex-Colorado standout
She briefly stood and gave Hunter a hug after Sanders appeared to tap her, but promptly sat back down as Hunter continued embracing his group.
Fans took issue with what they perceived to be a slight, sparking horrific backlash on social media.
It's one of many perceived snubs Lenee had to address. Others included a tense moment after a game against Oklahoma State and some comments she made as Hunter was taking photos with female fans during a pre-Heisman photo shoot .
On a Twitch stream after the ceremony, Hunter revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep as she continued to be pelted with criticism.
'She's still sleeping, she's slumped,' the Heisman winner shared on a Twitch stream. 'You know when you're hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep and you just be gone? She drunk [sic], like, an OD amount tonight for no reason.'
Hunter told people to stop targeting her, specifically calling out 'clickbait' pages, social media accounts, and websites.
'Clickbait pages stop, y'all better stop I'm telling y'all. Something bad is gonna happen to y'all [if you] keep doing that. Y'all better stop that. I ain't playing,' he said.

Hulk Hogan descended upon American culture at exactly the time it was ready for him: the 1980s
The opening chords of Rick Derringer's hard-rock guitar would play over the arena sound system. Instantly, 20,000 Hulkamaniacs — and many more as wrestling's popularity and stadium size exploded — rose to their feet in a frenzy to catch a glimpse of Hulk Hogan storming toward the ring. His T-shirt half-ripped, his bandanna gripped in his teeth, Hogan faced 'em all in the 1980s — the bad guys from Russia and Iran and any other wrestler from a country that seemed to pose a threat to both his WWF championship and, of course, could bring harm to the red, white and blue. His 24-inch pythons slicked in oil, glistening under the house lights, Hogan would point to his next foe — say 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper or Jake 'The Snake' Roberts (rule of thumb: In the 80s, the more quote marks in a name, the meaner the wrestler) — all to the strain of Derringer's patriotic 'Real American.' In Ronald Reagan's 1980s slice of wishful-thinking Americana, no one embodied the vision of a 'real American' like Hulk Hogan. 'We had Gorgeous George and we had Buddy Rogers and we had Bruno Sammartino,' WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter said Friday. 'But nobody compared at that time compared to Hulk Hogan. His whole desire was to be a star and be somebody that nobody every forgot. He pretty much did that.' He saw himself as an all-American hero Hogan, who died Thursday in Florida at age 71, portrayed himself as an all-American hero, a term that itself implies a stereotype. He was Sylvester Stallone meets John Wayne in tights — only fans could actually touch him and smell the sweat if the WWF came to town. Hogan presented as virtuous. He waved the American flag, never cheated to win, made sure 'good' always triumphed over 'evil.' He implored kids around the world: 'Train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins." Hogan did it all, hosting 'Saturday Night Live,' making movies, granting Make-A-Wish visits, even as he often strayed far from the advice that made him a 6-foot-8, 300-plus pound cash cow and one of the world's most recognizable entertainers. His muscles looked like basketballs, his promos electrified audiences — why was he yelling!?! — and he fabricated and embellished stories from his personal life all as he morphed into the personification of the 80s and 80s culture and excess. In the not-so-real world of professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan banked on fans believing in his authenticity. That belief made him the biggest star the genre has ever known. Outside the ring, the man born Terry Gene Bollea wrestled with his own good guy/bad guy dynamic, a messy life that eventually bled beyond the curtain, spilled into tabloid fodder and polluted the final years of his life. Hogan — who teamed with actor Mr. T in the first WrestleMania — was branded a racist. He was embroiled in a sex-tape scandal. He claimed he once contemplated suicide. All this came well after he admitted he burst into wrestling stardom not on a strict diet of workouts and vitamins, but of performance-enhancing drugs, notably steroids. The punches, the training, the grueling around-the-world travel were all real (the outcomes, of course, were not). So was the pain that followed Hogan as he was temporarily banished from WWE in his later years. He was the flawed hero of a flawed sport, and eventually not even wrestling fans, like a bad referee, could turn a blind eye to Hogan's discretions. His last appearance fizzled Hogan's final WWE appearance came this past January at the company's debut episode on Netflix. Hogan arrived months after he appeared at the Republican National Convention and gave a rousing speech -- not unlike his best 1980s promos -- in support of Donald Trump. Just a pair of the 1980s icons, who used tough talk and the perceived notion they could both 'tell it like it is,' to rise to the top. Only wrestling fans, especially one in the home of the Los Angeles event, had enough of Hogan. 'He was full-throated, it wasn't subtle, his support for Donald Trump,' said ESPN writer Marc Raimondi, who wrote the wrestling book 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys." 'I think that absolutely hurt him.' He didn't appear for an exercise in nostalgia or a vow that if he could just lace up the boots one more time, he could take down today's heels. No, Hogan came to promote his beer. Beer loosely coded as right-wing beer. No song was going to save him this time. Fed up with his perceived MAGA ties and divisive views, his racist past and a string of bad decisions that made some of today's stars also publicly turn on him, Hogan was about booed out of the building. This wasn't the good kind of wrestling booing, like what he wanted to hear when he got a second act in the 1990s as 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan when controversy equaled cash. This was go-away heat. 'I think the politics had a whole lot to do with it,' Hogan said on 'The Pat McAfee Show' in February. Hogan always envisioned himself as the Babe Ruth of wrestling. On the back of Vince McMahon, now entangled in his own sordid sex scandal, Hogan turned a staid one-hour Saturday morning show into the land of NFL arenas, cable TV, pay-per-view blockbusters, and eventually, billon-dollar streaming deals. Once raised to the loftiest perch in sports and entertainment by fans who ate up everything the Hulkster had to say, his final, dismal appearance showed that even Hulk Hogan could take a loss. 'The guy who had been the master at getting what he wanted from the crowd for decades, he lost his touch,' Raimondi said. 'Very likely because of the things he did in his personal and professional life.' But there was a time when Hogan had it all. The fame. The championships. Riches and endorsements. All of it not from being himself, but by being Hulk Hogan. 'There's people in this business that become legends," Sgt. Slaughter said. 'But Hulk became legendary.'

Rob Kardashian's ex Blac Chyna showcases dramatic weight loss amid Hollywood's Ozempic craze
She has been embarking on a spiritual and physical makeover in recent years, one which has seen her get into incredible shape. And Blac Chyna showcased the results of all her regular workouts in her latest post on Thursday. Clad in a skintight taupe bodysuit, the outfit accentuated Chyna's incredible weight loss. 'Ginger has entered the chat @fashionnova,' she captioned the post, seemingly referencing her fiery hair color. Chyna - born Angela White - was the picture of fitness as she showed off her flat abs, toned legs and defined arms. Feet slipped into to New Balance trainers and chunky white socks, Chyna, 37, looked ready to exercise in style. While various celebrities have also been dropping the pounds with the help of weight loss medication Ozempic in recent years, Chyna, who has never said she's used the product, can thank her fitness regimen for her results. The star - who has four-year-old daughter Dream with ex-fiance Rob Kardashian and 12-year-old son King with ex-fiance Tyga - has been documenting her rigorous workouts on Instagram, and didn't take any breaks as bikini season approached. 'Summer is around the corner baby… time to shred !!!!! Let's goooo @_a1fit 8 week program let's get it,' she captioned an exercise post back in April. Not only has Chyna been hitting the gym to maintain her svelte physique, but two years ago she underwent a dramatic physical and mental make-under after getting baptized and reconnecting with God. The born-again Christian began a return to her natural body after making her name showing off more voluptuous curves, undergoing a breast reduction, removing the silicone fillers in her derriere, and dissolving her facial fillers. She also got sober and shed her infamous stage name in favor of embracing her birth name. Reflecting on the process to return back to Angela, the My Word singer admitted to in 2023 that it has been a 'rewarding' experience. 'Not only am I doing it for myself, but then I'm also encouraging other people that's even thinking about it,' she gushed. The former stripper said she was stunned by the reaction to her make-under however - admitting she 'didn't think it was going to be so massive'. The born-again Christian began a return to her natural body after making her name showing off more voluptuous curves, getting a breast reduction, removing the silicone fillers in her derriere and dissolving her facial fillers; pictured 2016 'Everybody's been really, really supportive. When I posted it, I didn't think that it was going to be so massive,' she said of her decision to share video footage of herself having her filler dissolved. 'Like, I posted at maybe 3.30 in the morning. And I was just healing from my surgery and thought, 'Let me just post these,' and then I went to sleep. I woke up and it had blown up but in a positive way. 'When I saw that, I'm like, 'This makes me want to even be more open and vulnerable with the people so they can see.' So that's when I documented me, dissolving in my face fillers in the lips.' Chyna has no regrets about dissolving her filler, confessing that she believes she went too far with the cosmetic procedure. 'It got to a point where my lips were so big, even when I would smile, you still couldn't see my teeth,' she said. 'Now you can see my teeth... I have teeth.' She was quick to stress that she is 'not against' fillers or cosmetic surgery, but noted that she wants anyone who is thinking of getting work done to research thoroughly and 'make sure you know exactly what you are putting into your body'. Chyna had previously admitted to undergoing a long list of procedures, including four breast surgeries, liposuction, and a backside enhancement before she began posting a series of candid videos in 2023 to document her surgery journey. She insisted that she never had a Brazilian butt lift but had silicone injections into her backside when she was 19 years old. Speaking about her reasons for getting plastic surgery procedures, Chyna said that much of it boiled down to 'insecurity', candidly sharing: 'Basically it's being insecure. 'As women, we want to look the best and like as fake as possible and plastic and everything needs to be perfect in this and that. But that's not normal, that comes from insecurity and different things of that sort and just being in that certain kind of life and lifestyle. 'So I'm kind of done with that type of lifestyle and I just want to step into my own and own it.'

Secrets of South Park Trump-Epstein episode that will further anger the White House
Top brass at the entertainment conglomerate that airs South Park signed off on a controversial episode of the series that viciously mocked President Donald Trump while linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. Comedy Central owner Paramount Global's three co-CEOs all the watched the show's no-holds-barred season 27 premiere, which featured Trump in bed with Satan and a deepfake of the president wandering nude in the desert, Puck News reported. Chris McCarthy, George Cheeks, and Brian Robbins were leaning toward airing it before running by their boss, Paramount heiress Shari Redstone. Redstone reportedly didn't watch the episode but 'trusted [the executives'] judgment and would support their decision,' Puck News reported. The trio concluded it was OK, despite the episode taking on Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris and CBS canceling the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The episode scandalously showed Trump in bed with Satan and later featured a deepfake of the president stripping down and bearing his 'teeny-tiny' penis. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker ultimately agreed to edit the scene, which showed an AI-generated depiction of a sweaty and nude Trump in the desert. On Thursday, the creators revealed how they battled with the network over the decision to show Trump's penis in the scene. On Thursday, the creators revealed how they battled with the network over the decision to show Trump's penis in the scene 'Trump: His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large,' flashes a line on screen. Parker explained how executives reacted. 'They're like, "OK, but we're gonna blur the penis,"' Parker recalled. 'I'm like, "No, you're not gonna blur the penis."' Stone added, '[So] we put eyes on the penis.' 'If we put eyes on the penis, we won't blur it. And then that was a whole conversation for about four f**king days,' Parker explained. 'It's a character.' The White House issued a scathing statement in response. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' a portion read. The episode saw the president threaten the town South Park with an endless array of lawsuits. The threats were a clear reference to Trump's recent suits against ABC, The Wall Street Journal, and even Paramount, which some have criticized as baseless. Paramount found itself on Parker and Stone's bad side earlier this year, after it blocked a $1 billion deal Stone and Parker previously had with Paramount and HBO Max that would have allowed both platforms to air their series. Stone and Parker - known for standing up to networks and censors - said no, claiming Skydance boss David Ellison was trying to lower the market value of their show. The creators then secured a $1.5-billion exclusive streaming deal with Paramount this week. The deal also confirms 50 new episodes that will air on Comedy Central and stream exclusively on Paramount Plus over five years. The new season was originally slated to start July 9, but was delayed two weeks due to complications from the then ongoing merger.
