Bunnie XO recently shared a disturbing encounter with convicted murderer Wade Wilson. Bunnie initially spoke to Wilson for a potential docuseries but was alarmed when Wilson began distributing her phone number without her consent. In the October 21 episode of her podcast, Bunnie expressed frustration, saying, "Wade took it upon himself after that first phone call... to start giving my phone number out to random women," adding that she received calls and texts from at least five individuals.
The episode included a recorded conversation between Bunnie and Wilson, where Wilson admitted to sharing her number, though he downplayed the extent, saying, "I only did that to like two people." Bunnie, however, insisted it was more, noting that the situation had caused her significant distress.
Tensions escalated when Wilson accused Bunnie of making disparaging remarks about him to her followers. "What was the comment that you made online?" he asked, claiming fans had shown him screenshots. Bunnie defended her statement, explaining that she had told listeners that women should be aware of "the red flags and warning signs" of someone as charming as Wilson. She clarified, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it," though Wilson felt otherwise.
Bunnie revealed that during their exchange, Wilson also made what she perceived as a vague threat, alluding to connections they might share. "I do know that, if anything, you know some people, maybe I know some people," Wilson said, implying a potential danger. Bunnie remained calm, telling her listeners, "You're not going to threaten me."
The controversy surrounding Bunnie's interaction with Wilson began in June, when she expressed interest in interviewing him on her podcast. At the time, she said in a since-deleted TikTok, "I am fascinated with his story." However, she later regretted this approach after facing backlash from fans who found her interest in Wilson insensitive to the victims' families.
In her latest episode, Bunnie expressed remorse, saying, "I feel bad for even having empathy for anybody other than the victims in this." She acknowledged that her curiosity about Wilson's crimes led her to make misinformed comments, adding, "I just shouldn't have said what I said without knowing so many of the facts."
Wilson, dubbed the "Deadpool Killer," was sentenced to death in August for the brutal murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in 2019.
