Jelly rollBunnie XO’s wife has a very clear message for online bullies: “Enough is enough.”
O Dumb blonde The podcast host reveals in a new video that the GRAMMY-nominated country artist has taken a step back online following persistent comments about his weight.
“My husband got off the internet because he’s tired of being bullied about his damn weight, and it makes me want to cry because he’s the sweetest angel baby,” she says in the clip. “My husband doesn’t show it to you, but I’m going to have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him.”
Bunnie continues: “The internet can say whatever they want about you and they say, ‘Well, you’re a celebrity, you should be able to handle it.’ No, fuck, we’re not.”
The 44-year-old also implores commenters to consider people’s humanity before saying anything negative.
“Don’t intimidate people because you never know where they are mentally,” she warns.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie met at one of her shows in 2015, sparking a romance. The pair got engaged in 2016 and decided to get married on the same day at a chapel in Las Vegas. He has since credited her as “a beacon of change in my life,” according to a 2023 interview with billboard.
Jelly, 39, has hardly shied away from his own colorful story – from addiction to street life to incarceration. He’s been open about how music has helped him deal with his most challenging times.
“In the darkest moments of my life, at my father’s funeral, it was music that helped me cope” he told ET last year. “Music has always been there to give me a hug. So I just want to do this for people.”
“I’m constantly writing songs to show people that it’s okay to be a work in progress. It’s okay to still find yourself in the middle,” he said of his approach to writing songs on his 2023 album, Whitsitt Chapel. “But I also wanted to make sure this time I added hope and rhythm. I made some tempo changes. I wanted to be more uplifting, with more important keys.”
Up next for Jelly, fans can expect new music, as the singer promised ET earlier this month that his next album is on the way.
“I’m not just back in the studio, we’re leaving,” he declared at the 2024 CMT Awards. “It’s about time!”
The artist welcomed his daughter, Bailee, now 15, with an ex while behind bars in 2008. Today, he has full custody of Bailee.
Jelly is also a father to his 7-year-old son, Noah.
In her latest TikTok, Bunnie assured her followers that she will always have the support of her family.
“I’m sorry, I’m going to defend the damn oppressed,” she declares. “You will never bully me, you will never lie about me or my family and I will fight until the end.
She elaborates: “All you have to do is leave me and my family alone and you won’t be called.”
