Bunny Xo appears to be considering going public with details about the breakdown of her marriage.
On Friday, July 10th, Follow her podcast “Dumb Blonde” Bunnie, 46, explained why she withdrew last month’s podcast episode, in which she spoke candidly about why she and JellyrollThe 41-year-old announced the end after ten years of marriage.
“I deleted it because I realized I just didn’t want one of the most difficult moments of my life to become a permanent headline,” she shared on Friday’s podcast episode.
She continued: “I don’t want to live in it, but I also believe that people deserve the space to heal, evolve and move forward.”
Bunnie Xo clears up the speculation surrounding her divorce from Jelly Roll. “I’ve seen this narrative online where people say, ‘Bunnie embarrassed Jelly.’ That’s why he wanted a divorce. “She’s not good for his PR,” Bunnie, 46, said on the Friday, June 26, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. (…)
Bunnie admitted she was worried about the breakup being what she’s best known for.
“But if I’m honest, I don’t want divorce to become my entire personality either. I don’t want to be the poster child for divorce,” she said.
Although Bunnie has no intention of keeping the podcast online forever, she doesn’t regret sharing it in the first place.
“That episode served a purpose for me at the time, and it was real, it was honest, and it came from exactly where I was emotionally at that moment. But I’m not in the same place anymore,” she admitted.

“I think that’s where we need to stop and focus on the fact that people are saying, ‘Well, she moved on so quickly.’ And it says: Wait. I have been grieving the loss of my marriage for at least a year. I had visions of the news breaking and how it happened,” Bunnie said.
She explained that there were moments where she was “laying on the floor screaming and crying.” Bunnie added that there were times when she “couldn’t even get up because I was so devastated.”
While Bunnie struggled with her personal life making headlines and strangers weighing in on her situation, the episode was lucrative. It became one of her most-watched episodes, earning her $100,000 in the process.
“But I don’t care about the money. If I cared about the money, I would have left it and gotten another damn 100 grand for it,” she insisted.
In the split podcast episode released on June 18, Bunnie spoke about why they split and dismissed speculation that the marriage failed due to infidelity.
“On Mother’s Day we had a little argument, the details of which I don’t think are necessary,” she explained. “And during that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the damn divorce papers.'”
After the podcast was released, Jelly Roll broke his silence about the breakup by publicly addressing the audience on stage at his tour in Saratoga Springs, NY.
“My wife and I are best friends. We’ll always be best friends. We just talked on the phone today,” he said. “Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can watch it. Every word of it is the truth.”
Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18 in Tennessee. Us weekly confirmed on June 15th.
