"Just don't be Travis Hunter," Rodman said before breaking into laughter.

"I'm sorry, breaking news. What the hell?" Rodman said. "Sorry about that, guys. All this sh*t is real or not, it's fake news."

Rodman’s remark was directed at Hunter and his wife, Lenee. Hunter married at 21, and the NBA legend advised Neon not to follow that path. The comment was unexpected and reflected in Neon’s shocked reaction.

This isn’t the first time Hunter’s relationship with Lenee has faced scrutiny. The couple, who began dating in high school and married in May, has been a frequent subject of online debate. Many speculate the two may be headed for divorce, with some suggesting Lenee is taking advantage of him.

Despite the speculation, the couple has remained strong and frequently appears together on their joint social media accounts. In August, they also welcomed a new addition to their family after adopting a kitten.

Travis Hunter responds to trolls as online hate mounts after Dennis Rodman’s latest comments

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter’s relationship has been a frequent topic of online discussion over the past year. His decision to marry his childhood sweetheart drew attention from internet trolls, and in December 2024, Hunter took time to address them.

"I just let people talk,” Hunter said. “Me, I’m a big troller so I just troll the internet. I really don’t care what they think or what they say about us so I just go on there and troll. They talk about her, I post her to make them even more mad than they already are, so they try to find something to hate."

The online debate continues to mount up and has reached a new level after Dennis Rodman's subtle jab at Hunter and his relationship.
