Bunnie Xo has spoken openly about the emotional impact of infidelity following the end of her marriage to country star Jelly Roll, saying the betrayal has left lasting scars.
During a recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie agreed with guest Denise Richards' decision never to remarry, before opening up about how an affair affected her outlook on relationships.
Reflecting on her experience, she said: "When I had gone through a situation with an affair, I think it's not the act that hurts you: it's the lies."
She continued: "There's no way to feel good about that. Betrayal trauma literally rewires your brain to not trust people, to just feel disgusting because you're the last to know."
Bunnie added: "Nobody ever wants to be the f**king last to know and when you are, it's a different kind of hate."
Jelly Roll previously admitted he had been unfaithful early in their marriage during an appearance on the Human School Podcast in October 2025.
Calling it "one of the worst moments of my adulthood," the singer said: "I wish our story would have went in the way that it never had an affair. And I'm in no way glad it happened, but man, I'm proud of who we are today."
The couple filed for divorce in May, although news of the split did not become public until the following month.
Initial reports suggested the separation had been mutual, but Bunnie later disputed that version of events on her podcast, claiming that it was her ex-husband who pushed for the divorce.
Recalling an argument that took place on Mother's Day, she explained: "On Mother's Day we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary."
She said the disagreement reached a breaking point, adding: "I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, 'Well, then file the f**king divorce papers.'"
Bunnie acknowledged that mentioning divorce had always been off-limits in their relationship.
"And in our relationship that is the one cardinal thing that you don't say," she said, before adding: "Even though my husband has said it numerous times 'cause he's the runner."
According to Bunnie, she left their home for around a week following the argument.
She claimed Jelly Roll then followed through with her heated comment.
"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 explained.
Bunnie also rejected claims that the separation had been a joint decision.
"Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual," she said. "Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration."
