Bunnie Xo is setting the record straight on the speculation surrounding her divorce from Jelly Roll.
“I’ve seen this narrative online where people are like, ‘Bunnie was embarrassing Jelly.’ That’s why he wanted the divorce. ‘She’s not good for his PR,’” Bunnie, 46, said during the Friday, June 26, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “I’m just like, please, it’s not me, OK. It’s not me, and that’s completely false.”
In the wake of their split, Bunnie (real name Alisa DeFord) told listeners that her DMs are open. While some podcast listeners have written in asking for advice, others have written “crazy” things.
Friday’s episode of the podcast was an “ask, tell, confess” installment, meaning listeners wrote into Bunnie. One message came from a man getting out of a “10-year bid” in prison asking for “a time” with her when he’s released.
“What I don’t like is he said, ‘Let me go out and have a time with you.’ So that’s where it’s like, OK, so you’re just expecting me to put out on this first date?” Bunnie said. “Listen, same. I just got out of a 10-year bid too, bitches, what are we talking about?”
Bunnie was laughing while telling listeners that she’s “gonna get a phone call” from Jelly (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) after that comment.
“I’m sorry, OK,” she said. “Just cutting a rug, buddy.”
Jelly submitted a petition for divorce in Tennessee on May 18. However, their split news didn’t go public until June 15.
“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” Bunnie explained on the June 18 episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, detailing what led to their divorce.
“I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers,’” she claimed. “And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say. Even though my husband has said it numerous times ‘cause he’s the runner.”
Jelly was apparently “so mad” that he did what she said.
“Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual,” she added. “Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration.”
Bunnie referred to Jelly as her “best friend” despite their breakup.
“I don’t care how f***ed up our relationship was, which it wasn’t that f***ed up. I don’t care how much we didn’t communicate or how things shook out,” she said. “I was riding with this motherf***er till the wheels fell off. I didn’t care. I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s*** out. He didn’t feel that way and I respect it.”
