Bunnie Xo has quietly reversed course on sharing the most private chapter of her life. The podcast host removed a June episode about her split from Jelly Roll and used a recent show to explain why she changed her mind.
Why she pulled the episode and asked for space
On the July 10 episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie said the decision to take down the episode was driven by a desire for healing. She told listeners she did not want one painful moment to follow her indefinitely in headlines.

Bunnie stressed the need for time to rebuild and to avoid letting the separation define her public identity. She emphasized that people deserve room to evolve and that she no longer felt the same as when she first recorded.
How the split affected her emotionally
Bunnie described a long, private grieving process that unfolded well before the breakup became public. She pushed back on the idea that she “moved on” quickly.
Behind-the-scenes reality
- She said she had been mourning the end of the marriage for roughly a year.
- There were nights of intense anguish, including moments she described as screaming and being unable to stand.
- She felt the public saw a snapshot, not the months of private pain.
Money and reach: why removal wasn’t about cash
The episode drew massive attention and, by Bunnie’s account, became one of her top-performing installments. It reportedly generated $100,000 in revenue.
Despite that windfall, she said money was not the reason she kept the episode up. If profit had been her motive, she would have left it online to earn more.
What she originally shared about the breakup
The June episode, released June 18, included Bunnie’s explanation for why the marriage ended. She denied rumors that infidelity caused the split.
She recounted an argument on Mother’s Day that escalated. In a moment of exhaustion, she told her husband to proceed with divorce paperwork. That exchange, she said, helped set events in motion.
Jelly Roll’s public reply and the legal timeline
After the podcast aired, Jelly Roll addressed fans during a concert stop in Saratoga Springs, New York. He described the pair as close and said no one cheated. He also pointed listeners to Bunnie’s episode, calling it truthful.
According to reporting confirmed by Us Weekly, Jelly Roll filed for divorce in Tennessee on May 18. The filing became public weeks later.

Public perception and personal control

Her focus now is on healing and moving forward, not on letting the split become the headline that defines her career or identity.
