Bunnie XO, the host of The Dumb Blonde Podcast and wife of genre-bending superstar Jelly Roll, exclusively revealed to Music Mayhem that she is ready to tell her story with the release of her upcoming tell-all book. The yet-to-be titled book is set to be released in 2025.
Bunnie XO Announces Tell-All Book
The inspiration behind this revealing memoir stems from the former high-end escort’s desire to inspire those who may feel stuck in life, highlighting that everyone has the power to break free from their circumstances.
“The idea for the book came about because I want every person who doesn’t think they can break free from where they’re at in life to know they can,” she explained to Music Mayhem. “Also, no one knows my life story except for what I reveal on the podcast, and I’m asked daily where people can find out more about my life story.”
The Book Will Tell Her Whole Story
The forthcoming tell-all book promises a comprehensive narrative, leaving no aspect of Bunnie XO’s life left behind—from her challenging upbringing and decision to leave high school to her journey as a high-end escort, eventually transforming into a successful businesswoman, podcast host and owner of her own production company.
“Every single stone won’t be left unturned. It’s my time to let y’all know my real and whole story,” she declared. Bunnie XO’s raw, unfiltered book will also likely touch on topics such as growing up in a toxic family environment in East Las Vegas, running away from home as a child, escaping an abusive relationship and more.
She recently gave fans a glimpse into her life with the first episode of The Bunnie XO Show. In the clip, she revisits her childhood home where she grew up and the vacant trailer park lot that she lived on as a teenager, as well as her alma mater, Las Vegas High School.
The Book Will Also Include Her And Jelly Roll’s Love Story
As the narrative unfolds, the book is expected to weave through significant chapters of her life, including the story of how Bunnie met Jelly Roll, their growth as a couple, co-parenting Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy, and the shared triumphs that followed as they achieved success together.
“That’s my happy ending, of course I will,” Bunnie XO, whose real name is Bunnie Alisa DeFord, confirmed when asked about incorporating her and Jelly Roll’s love story.
Bunnie XO Book Title And Release Date
While Bunnie XO remained tight-lipped about potential contributors to the book, she teased the idea of potentially involving artists or friends in writing the foreword, urging readers to “stay tuned” for updates.
Preparations for the highly-anticipated memoir are set to begin this Spring, with the writing process beginning in March of 2024. When it comes to naming the book, the 44-year-old podcast host hasn’t yet decided on a title. “As far as titles, not yet! Definitely pondering it, haha,” she shared.
The yet-to-be announce tell-all book, which will explore Bunnie’s life journey, will arrive sometime in 2025. The book will be available first to her Patreon members, so be sure that you are a subscriber.
Building Her Own Empire And Finding Success
While supporting her husband’s musical dreams, Bunnie XO continued to build her own empire with her chart-topping Dumb Blonde Podcast, which is one of the hottest podcasts on all streaming platforms (over 2 million downloads per month), in addition to leading her own production company, growing a massive following (70k+ followers) on Patreon and filming the couple’s reality show, Meet The DeFords. She’s also signed with WME for management and booking.
She recently took to social media to reflect on the unbelievable year that she and her husband Jelly Roll experienced in 2023 after ringing in the New Year in the most iconic way on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2024 with Ryan Seacrest.
“2023 was one for the books! I can’t even believe the type of year we had. An absolute literal dream,” she wrote on social media, reminiscing on the whirlwind of success that she and her husband achieved over the course of the last year.
“The podcast is now doing over 2 million downloads a month, we’re on Spotify’s top rising 15 pods of the year, Apple’s top 20 pods & have accumulated over 50,000 Patreon subs,” she added at the time. “I was able to produce & direct our reality shows w/ my own production company – which y’all are absolutely loving! In a world that has made me prove myself over & over, my hard work finally speaks for itself. 2024 is even more content for y’all to consume.”
Humble Self-Appreciation Post, Proved Haters Wrong
She proceeded to modestly acknowledge her achievements with a brief moment of self-appreciation, before showcasing gratitude for all of those who have supported her along the way. “To say I’m grateful & proud is an understatement. I can’t say THANK YOU ENOUGH TO ALL OF YOU for believing in me the past 5 years w this pod & every crazy adventure I bring y’all along on.”
Despite naysayers, internet trolls and haters (all of which come with success), Bunnie XO never gave up on her dreams and ultimately made them into reality.
“Never backed down & never stopped going after what I wanted. NEVER took no for an answer & never let anyone’s criticism affect me,” she proudly stated. “It never matters where you came from, it matters where you’re going, baby! Don’t ever let anyone tell you [that] you can’t do something & believe them. I’m living proof that whatever sets your soul on fire is ALREADY YOURS.
I also retired from an industry I had been in for 20+ years & rolled the dice on myself. Everything I manifested this year I accomplished & then some. Honestly, it’s almost unbelievable & makes my heart flutter when I think about how much I spoke into existence.”
Teasing fans with what’s to come in the New Year, Bunnie promised, “I’m walking into 2024 like God sent me. Y’all think I was relentless in 2023? Haaa, y’all ain’t seen nothin’ yet. B xo.”
