Speaking her truth. Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, took to social media to share a pointed message with her haters.

“When you’re a retired [hooker], but the internet can’t seem to get over it. Meanwhile, you’re living your best farm mom life, married the man of your dreams, worked your arse off, and became a multimillionaire since retiring 5 years ago,” Bunnie, 44, wrote via TikTok on Saturday, June 14.

In the video, the successful podcast host, whose real name is Alyssa DeFord, is all smiles while she pets her farm animals and does a voiceover to a funny audio.

Bunnie also wrote, “Can never shame me for what I had to do to survive—I stand with and for ALL my SW girlies. Always have, always will.”

Of course, it didn’t take long for Bunnie’s fans to flock to the comments section with words of praise. “You’re an inspiration,” one user wrote. “This!! Your past didn’t define you. Instead, you were defined by the future that you were willing to create. People need to worry about their own lives! You keep rocking it, sis! Happy looks good on you!” added another.

“You and Jelly are the voice of the underdogs, proving kindness, resilience, and overcoming adversity makes a difference,” a third user chimed in, while a fourth echoed, “I absolutely love your story and can appreciate that you’re the real deal kind of person who leads with her heart! Keep being you!!!”

Bunnie and Jelly Roll, 40, met in 2015 at one of the country singer’s Las Vegas concerts. The couple tied the knot a year later and have been going strong ever since. They also co-parent Jelly Roll’s kids, Bailee Ann and Noah, from two of his previous relationships.
