Bunnie spills all. TMZ broke the news that Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, back on May 18 in Williamson County Chancery Court, just outside of Nashville. Whiskey Riff obtained a copy of the divorce complaint that was filed by the “Save Me” singer, which reveals that the couple separated on May 9, a week and a half before the request for a divorce was filed. He cites “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the divorce, which in Tennessee is a no-fault grounds for divorce that means that the parties agree on the terms of the separation. And yesterday, she released a tell-all episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, where she revealed a lot of why they decided to split, addressed dating rumors and revealed that Jelly was already dating, and she also explained the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak, that led to the divorce papers being filed. It happened after they had a fight on Mother’s Day, which led Bunnie to pack a bag and leave their house. She recalls telling Jelly he should “file divorce papers,” and while she admits she was speaking out of anger, because she’s not the type to ever say something she doesn’t mean, he went ahead and filed during a time they weren’t talking for weeks: “J and I have never been really good at having disagreements. So we were the type of couple who never argued, you know. So he would be holding things in, I would be holding things in, and that’s a recipe for disaster. And we always preach, you’ve got to be comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations. And we did that for eight years in. And you know, for the past year and a half, we kind of got away from that just because we’re in a different life now. Different timeline. So on Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary. And in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired, that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well then file the f****** divorce papers.’ And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times, because he’s the runner. But when I say it, it really holds weight, because I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean. And I ended up leaving, I packed a bag and I left. There was a couple other things that happened that, I mean, if I ever do write a book, I’ll talk about it. But I just don’t think it’s imperative to the situation right now.” She says that the divorce is “not mutual,” even though she told him to file, and she has done a lot of therapy to accept the fact that Jelly did not want to do therapy to try and fix the relationship, but rather wanted to end things altogether: “So I packed a bag and I left, and I didn’t talk to my husband for, you know, weeks after that. And 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. Was I blindsided and 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 actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely. So when I found out that he had filed for divorce, I immediately got on HRT, because I was like, I’ve got to pull myself out of this hole.” Bunnie admitted that, even though it’s ending as good as any divorce possibly could, it has still taken an emotional toll. She says she’s lost a lot of weight from not eating, though she’s ultimately been able to find happiness and peace with the ending of this marriage, even though she was prepared to ride it out “until the wheels fell off,” and it’s clear she was very much committed to staying with him until the very end: “I don’t care how f***** up our relationship was, which it wasn’t that f***** up, how much we didn’t communicate or how things shook out, I was riding with this mother****** til the wheels fell off. I didn’t care. I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s*** out. He didn’t feel that way, and I respect it. It took me a month and half now to accept that, but I’m so happy. So, so, so happy. But my husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever have a divorce. We’re literally settling our divorce, and we’ve done it in like three weeks, two weeks.” She also joked that their lawyers are stunned at how easy it’s been in terms of splitting everything up and ending it all amicably, and they are still having a child together, a little boy, who will be delivered via surrogate. It’s all very unconventional, and I’d even go as far as to say that it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that seems to be what works for them. It sounds like Bunnie has a lot to look forward to as she prepares to become a new mom here pretty soon according to what she said in this podcast about it too.
