Devin Haney's Social Media Concerns

Boxing champion Devin Haney is sparring outside the ring, this time with his ex-fiancée, Leena Sayed, over their daughter's presence on social media. Haney is contesting Sayed's request to freely post images of their one-year-old daughter, Khrome, on Instagram, citing concerns about Sayed's online content.

Sayed has filed legal documents aiming to change the couple's custody rules to allow her to post photos without Haney's consent. Currently, both parents must mutually agree in writing before sharing their child's images online. Haney argues that this restriction is crucial to protect their daughter, given Sayed's adult-themed content on platforms like OnlyFans.

Contentious Online Image

Haney's legal team has highlighted Sayed's work on OnlyFans, which they claim could attract unwanted attention. They specifically pointed to explicit captions and adult themes that diverge from her parental image. "They are all of course protected by free speech," said Haney’s attorney, emphasizing the risk of exposing their celebrity child to online dangers. They also noted Sayed's portrayal as a wealthy and fantasy-inducing celebrity, which could attract the wrong kind of followers.

“A celebrity child on social media invites trouble,” Haney's team warned, underscoring the potential risks.

Upcoming Court Decision

Despite the restrictions, Haney has occasionally allowed photos of Khrome, such as a picture of her watching him fight. However, he's been cautious about other social media approvals. Sayed counters that social media is vital for sharing her life and wants to post images of Khrome without what she calls Haney’s "unduly withheld" approval.

The court is set to hear the modification request later this month, with all eyes on whether Haney's concerns will sway the decision in this high-profile parental dispute.
