A chilling accusation against Jelly Roll has resurfaced, just days after news of his divorce from Bunnie Xo broke.
The country artist filed for divorce from his wife of almost 10 years on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, according to TMZ.
Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, cited "irreconcilable differences" as his court filings revealed that he and Bunnie, real name Alisa DeFord, were "unable to live together successfully as husband and wife."
Documents revealed that it was a "mutual decision by the two and a private family matter," as the 41-year-old made the filing in May.
No direct statements have been made by either party on the situation, despite some questionable social media moves.
Candid old clips of Bunnie speaking about their relationship have resurfaced in the days since, but there have been more severe allegations linked to Jelly.
There may be no proof of a connection, but the country artist and three-time Grammy winner was hit with a chilling accusation in Tennessee weeks before he filed for divorce.
Comedian Nicole Arbour has been on social media recently, speaking about the artist and how he allegedly threatened to kill her.
As first reported by TMZ, the Metro Nashville Police Department told the publication that they were looking into the matter.
They stated: “As you’re probably aware, there appears to be an ongoing back and forth between the two,
“No charges have been filed and there is no current investigation underway on the part of MNPD.”
TMZ added that an incident report was filed by Arbour on March 1, providing a video, as authorities admitted that they'd looked at the video, identifying Jelly Roll and another man.
The report said that Jelly claimed to have seen Arbour at a charity event with a camera, as she claimed he said "he would kill her" if he saw her with the camera.
According to the publication, the report detailed that police admitted to hearing the comment when going over footage.
This prompted the Canadian comedian to take to X to both challenge police and criticize TMZ's coverage.
Speaking in a video uploaded to social media, Nicole Arbour claimed: “Here’s why all of this is strange and giving police corruption.”
She alleged that a detective investigating the case had emailed her 46 minutes after TMZ's story was released, and claimed that the investigation was paused as a witness could not be contacted.
The comedian went as far as claiming that Jelly pays TMZ to run stories and that the Nashville Police Department was corrupt.
She went on: “The first time I went to make a police report about Jelly Roll, which was Metro Nashville, the officer would not take it,
“I mean, they would not take it. They said they would not take it. They don’t want to get sued. They don’t want to get put on leave. They don’t want to be involved. They wouldn’t take my police report. That actually happened.”
“They were shady AF in my opinion,” she concluded.
The social media personality claimed she did not have a camera in her interaction with Jelly, claiming: “People will be like, ‘Oh, if Jelly Roll was threatening your life, why didn’t you pull out your phone and film it?’
“I did, and he was like, ‘If I see your phone I will kill you.’”
