Bunnie XO recently addressed the issue of online bullying targeted at her husband, Jelly Roll, revealing that it led him to quit social media. Speaking on her "Dumb Blonde" podcast, she expressed deep concern over the relentless attacks on Jelly Roll's weight. "My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his weight and that makes me want to cry, because he is the sweetest angel baby," she said in the tiktok video.
She spoke on the personal toll this bullying takes on him, highlighting the hurt it causes him despite his outward demeanor " My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m going to have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him.”
Responding to the notion that celebrities should be immune to such treatment, Bunnie asserted, "The internet can say whatever they want about you and they say, you're a celebrity. You're supposed to be able to handle it. No, we're not … Enough is enough." She condemned the culture of online bullying, reminding people of the potentially severe impact it can have on individuals' mental health "Don't bully people, because you never know where they are mentally. There are a lot of people who are not as strong as me, that are on the internet and they don’t deserve to f***in’ be bullied."
Bunnie XO expressed her unwavering support for her husband and her determination to combat the trolls, stating, "I'm going to stand up for all the f**ing underdogs. You're never going to bully me. You're never going to lie about me or my family, and I will fight to the end. I love it when people say, Bunnie is a bad human. Just wait and you’ll see. I’ve been on the internet 15 f*kin’ years. When are they gonna see? I’m waiting. What you see is what you get with me. I don’t f**kin’ pretend to be something I’m not … all you gotta do is leave me and my family the f**k alone and you won’t get called out."
At the beginning of April, Jelly Roll was candid about his weight struggles, revealing that he has lost 70 pounds while preparing to participate in the upcoming 2 Bears 5K on May 7 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
“I’ve really been kicking ass, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now. I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100 and something. If I feel this good down weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour,” he said.
