The best-selling author finally spilled the sweet tea on her shocking split from Jelly Roll in a YouTube podcast episode aptly titled “The Divorce.” The episode dropped on June 18, just days after news of their separation threw fans for a loop.
The 46-year-old, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, said the split came after a Mother’s Day argument. While she didn’t share specifics, she said it left her feeling “fed up and so tired.”
“I just looked at him, and I said, ‘Well, file the f—ing divorce papers,'” she told her over 250k YouTube subscribers. “And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times…. But when I say it, it really holds weight, because I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean.”
Bunnie Xo said she promptly hit the road after the argument, kicking off a silent treatment that lasted several weeks.
“During that, he was so mad, and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do and filing the divorce papers,” she recalled. “Was this divorce mutual? No. It was not mutual, even though I told him to file the divorce papers. I was speaking out of anger and just frustration. But was it necessary for us to have a wake-up call and for us to start having these real conversations? Absolutely.”

“Damn. He’s gonna feel dumb when he realizes this woman is irreplaceable,” the top comment reads. “He’s crazy.. he’s crazy for fumbling this gem of a woman,” another fan wrote. “We ride at dawn for Bunnie. Jelly lost a baddie,” a third fan added.
