Jelly Roll’s Wife Bunnie XO Reveals The Reason He Is Not On Social Media

Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie XO, is not pleased about her beau's social media absence since it stemmed from negative comments about his weight.

The "Dumb Blonde" podcast host recently addressed her husband's forced exit from the media-sharing platforms, imploring fans to treat the singer kindly or face her wrath.

On a recent episode of her podcast, Bunnie revealed her husband left social media thanks to trolls and body shamers. She claimed these negative nancies have emotionally scarred Jelly, saying:

"My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f-cking weight, and that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby."

"My husband doesn't show it to you guys, but I'm gonna have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him," she confessed, stressing that online hate should never be tolerated, even if the other party is a celebrity.

"The internet can say whatever the f-ck they want about you, and they say, 'Well, you're a celebrity; you're supposed to be able to handle it.' No, the f-ck we're not," Bunnie argued.

In the video, the "Need a Favor" singer's wife addressed the negative impacts of social media hate. She stressed that fans should be cautious of their words as they could never know the power they had on others.

"Don't bully people because you never know where they are mentally," she warned before doubling down on her commitment to fighting for her loved ones. In her words:

"I'm sorry, I'm gonna stand up for the f-cking underdogs. You're never gonna bully me, you're never gonna lie about me or my family, and I will fight 'til the end."

"All you gotta do is just leave me and my family the f-ck alone, and you won't get called out," Bunnie stressed. Her powerful support comes weeks after Jelly cemented his status as a country singer at the CMT Music Awards.

While body shamers and trolls had a problem with Jelly's weight, their mean comments could never overshadow his talent. The country music star made that clear on April 7 when he took home three category wins at the 2024 CMT Music Awards.

Thanks to his hit song "Need a Favor," he won the awards for Male Video of the Year and Music Video of the Year. He also beat other competitors to secure the trophy for CMT performance — for his live version of that breakout song at the 2023 CMT Awards.

"Billy Bob Thornton just gave me my third award tonight, y'all!" Jelly raved after receiving his award from the veteran actor. He also threw a playful jab at presenter Gayle King, who implored him not to party too much so he could be ready for her show the following day.

"Gayle King, I'm gonna be a little late in the morning because we're gonna party, Austin," the singer declared, per Variety, before throwing shoutouts to his competitors like Cody Johnson and Kelsea Ballerini.

Last month, The Blast reported that Jelly Roll confessed to hating nearly all his tattoos. He criticized his past choices in a candid interview about his extensive body art, saying:

"I regret 98% of these tattoos, 97%, almost all of them… Like core philosophies, I rooted my life in when I was 17, and now I'm 40, I'm like, 'What the f-ck was I thinking?'"

"I don't know, I don't like, I mean, I hate 'em all. I don't know where to start," he continued before breaking down the tattoos he hated the most. First on the list was the inked description of a baby smoking marijuana on his arm, which Jelly Roll admitted was "a little excessive."

The country singer noted that he had covered up most of his "really bad" tattoos with more body art. An example was the Nashville skyline on the back of his neck, which covered the misspelled phrase, "Surviving the Sruggle," by adding the missing 't' to make it correct.

Jelly Roll explained that most of his tattoos weren't symbolic, as some were done during his time behind bars. He was arrested at 16 for aggravated robbery and later at 23 for drug dealing.

He stressed that he could no longer relate to his past self, saying: "I realized that almost all of my tattoos represent who I was; none of them represent who I am." The singer continued:

"And quite a few years ago, I looked at my wife, and I was like, 'I don't wanna be bound to these tattoos anymore. I want them to be reflective of who I am.'"
