Bunny Xo it seems she has little second thoughts about airing the details of her marriage breakdown.
On the Friday, July 10, episode of her podcast “Dumb Blonde,” Bunnie, 46, explained why she released a podcast episode last month where she opened up about why Jelly Roll41, he abandoned her after 10 years of marriage.
“I stopped it because I realized that I didn’t want one of the hardest times in my life to be an endless topic,” he said on Friday’s podcast episode.
He continued, “I don’t want to live like that but I also believe that people deserve a place to heal, evolve and move forward.”
Bunnie admitted that she is worried about breaking away from what she is known for.
“But again, if I’m a real person, I don’t want divorce to be my whole personality, I don’t want to be the poster child for divorce,” she said.
While Bunnie has no intentions of keeping the podcast online forever, she has no regrets about 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 time.” But I’m not in that place anymore,” he admitted.

“I think that’s where we have to stop and focus on the fact that people are like, ‘Well, you moved on too quickly.’ And it’s like, stand up. I have been mourning my marriage for a year. I had ideas about the news coming out, what was happening,” said Bunnie.
He explained that there were times when he was “crying on the floor, crying.” Bunnie added that there were times when she “couldn’t even stand up because I was so overwhelmed.”
Although Bunnie had to deal with her personal life grabbing the headlines and strangers weighing in on her situation, the episode was very rewarding. It was one of the most watched episodes, earning him $100,000 in the process.
“But I don’t care about money, if I cared about money, I would have left it and let it get another 100 grand,” he stressed.
In a podcast episode about the breakup, which aired on June 18, Bunnie opened up about why they broke up and put to rest speculation that the marriage ended due to infidelity.
“On Mother’s Day, we had a bit of a fight, which I think is unnecessary,” he explained. “And, in that argument, I was so tired and worn out that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the divorce papers.’
After the release of the podcast, Jelly Roll broke the silence during the breakup by speaking publicly on stage in Saratoga Springs, NY, on the leg of his tour.
“My wife and I are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone today,” he said. “Nobody fooled anybody. He just did a podcast about it all. You can go watch it. Every word of it is true.”
Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie in Tennessee on May 18, Us Weekly confirmed on June 15.
