Bunnie XO just announced her first-ever book tour to celebrate the upcoming release of her tell-all memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, arriving on February 10, 2026, via Harper Collins Publishers. The Dumb Blonde Podcast host will take her memoir from the “pages to the stages” with a four-show tour, kicking off on February 16 in New York City, stopping in Nashville (2/22) and Los Angeles (2/25), and wrapping up on February 26 in her hometown of Las Vegas.
Following the announcement of her four-show tour, Bunnie XO opened up about what fans can expect during an exclusive interview with Music Mayhem.
“I’m unbelievably nervous, what if no one shows up? 😭 But I’m also just thankful & appreciative of how amazing the pre-sales for the book have been to put me in this position. I couldn’t have done it without my riders (following),” she told us of her nerves after announcing the trek.
As mentioned, she will end the tour in her hometown of Las Vegas and also make a stop in her current hometown of Nashville. “I’m really excited to bring it to my new hometown and end it in my old hometown. Something about those two cities just get me emotional. They got two different versions of the woman I am.”
When asked what fans can expect from the shows, she shared, “Regular book tours scare me. 😂 I do not want a stuffy, boring book tour. So we’re planning something really special!” When it came to turning her memoir into an in-person book tour experience, she said she approached it the same way she has for over two decades. “Just kept it raw and real, like I have with everything the past 20 years online,” she added.
The four shows are expected to feature special guests, as Bunnie XO teased online at the time of the announcement. While she couldn’t say much about who fans can expect to see, she did hint, “I promise they’re so worth coming to see!” She also shared that Jelly Roll will be at all four shows.
The limited run of shows could be just the beginning of Bunnie XO’s book celebration, as she teased, “right now, I just have to prove I can sell tickets. And once I do that… It’s on baby!”

Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic will take readers on a journey through her life from the “trailer parks of Vegas to the mansions of Nashville” in a “modern-day rag to riches story,” according to the book’s official description. The 304-page, tell-all memoir is set to arrive on February 10, 2026, and is available now for pre-order, everywhere books are sold.
Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, is breaking down the walls and sharing her life story with fans. Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic will detail Bunnie XO’s life from “an abused runaway” to becoming one of the most successful podcasters and everything in between, including her struggles with addiction while living in an East Las Vegas trailer park and how her life took a turn when she entered the sex work industry, a move she says allowed her to learn how to “reclaim her power.”
Since reclaiming her power, she has gone on to spark widespread acclaim and built quite an impressive empire; from hosting her chart-topping Dumb Blonde Podcast, to producing her family’s reality show Meet The DeFords, growing a massive following (200k+ followers) on Patreon and launching her own Dumb Blonde Productions company. She’s also signed with WME for management and booking. She continued, “Stripped Down is the rawest reflection of who I am in every form. It felt only fitting to name my book after the way I’ve always lived life — raw, unfiltered and in my naked truth. This book is heartbreak and healing, trauma and triumph, love and betrayal — it’s the ashes I’ve risen from, stitched together with the lessons that shaped me into the woman I am today.”
The book is expected to weave through significant chapters of her life, including the story of how Bunnie met Jelly Roll and married him in 2026, 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 previously confirmed to Music Mayhem when asked about incorporating her and Jelly Roll’s love story.
Bunnie XO told PEOPLE that she hopes as readers turn the pages of her memoir, “you’ll feel every emotion with me. And although I’ve left that lifestyle behind, I’ve stripped down one last time and bared my soul for the world to see.”
Last year, in January of 2024, Bunnie XO announced that she was gearing up to release a tell-all book about her life in an exclusive interview with Music Mayhem.
“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. “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. Every single stone won’t be left unturned. It’s my time to let y’all know my real and whole story.”
Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic will be available everywhere you can buy books on February 10, 2026.
