Bunnie XO won’t tolerate body-shaming, especially when it comes to her husband, Jelly Roll, and his daughter, 15-year-old Bailee Ann. The Dumb Blonde Podcast host recently used TikTok to shut down a troll who had made a “disgusting” comment, responding with a video earlier this month.
“It’s absolutely insane to me how dense some people in the human population can be,” Bunnie XO began her response to the original comment, which read, “Why is her husband and stepdaughter family massively overweight? Weird podcast she’s enables them.”
The podcast host continued by pointing out that many excessively overweight people struggle with eating disorders:
“People with anorexia, people with bulimia, that all goes in the same category, just different spectrums,” she explained. “You need to give people who have eating disorders, any type of eating disorders, the same grace that you would give a drug addict in your family.”
She added:
“They get enough hate in the world that the last person that they need hate from is somebody in their family.”
Bunnie XO shared that she never forces Jelly Roll to take part in healthy habits, but makes gentle suggestions:
“My husband knows that I try to show him with love, ‘Hey, let’s eat this,’ or ‘Hey, you wanna do this?’ I don’t try to force him to do anything because that makes people resent you… I want him to know he is loved at all sizes, no matter what.”
She said:
“I’m gonna love him in every phase of his life, and that doesn’t mean that I’m enabling him. So you guys need to throw that narrative out the window, it’s absolutely horrendous.”
Bunnie XO explained that Jelly Roll “knows what he has to do” and “fights his demons daily”:
“You don’t kick somebody when they’re down. It’s just disgusting to me that people think they can dictate how somebody lives their life.”
She continued:
“I’m so tired of the narrative of people thinking that because my husband’s overweight, he eats bad,” she revealed. “He eats healthier than 80% of the population.”
“He has bad genetics, he had an eating disorder when he was younger… emotional eating, his weight… he hears it enough from people like you online all day long.”
She closed by addressing the troll directly:
“To even come on my page and say something about my underage daughter’s body shows the type of human you are… I hope you have the day and life you deserve, because people like you don’t make it far in life.”
In a 2018 Instagram post, Jelly Roll wrote:
“I’ve been obese since I was a small child. All I’ve ever known was being fat, and I’m f***ing miserable. I wanna skydive, bungee jump, ride a bull, parasail, ride roller coasters, I want to LIVE a normal life… I fight addictions and alcoholism every day.”
In 2023, Jelly Roll focused on fitness. His nutritionist Ian Larios said Jelly lost 23 pounds in about two weeks.
