Bunnie Xo is addressing the decision to take down her Dumb Blonde Podcast episode titled “The Divorce,” where she shared an emotional and honest conversation about her recently announced divorce from Jelly Roll.
Alongside hosting the podcast, Bunnie regularly teams up with her close friends Mimi and Hailee Clark, aka “The Coven,” for a segment called “Ask, Tell, Confess,” where they share wild, embarrassing stories and often reveal secrets submitted by fans. This time, the New York Times bestselling author used this portion of the show to address the deleted YouTube video and give an update on what life looks like after ending the marriage.
The former couple’s divorce was announced in June and just a few days later, she used her Podcast to discuss the reasons behind their split, details of their divorce agreement and she and Jelly Roll’s plans to still have a baby together and co-parent their future child.
Many of the clips from this episode still live on TikTok, but the full-length video itself is no longer available for viewing on YouTube. Bunnie explains the main reason for taking it down is because she says she is in a very different place now than she was when the episode was filmed. And although she has and always strive to have honest and open communication with her fans, she didn’t want to let this part of her life to continue to be a topic of conversation.
“I took it down because I realized I just don’t want one of the hardest moments of my life to become a permanent headline. I don’t want to live in that,” she explained honestly. “I believe in being transparent with you guys and that’s never, ever, ever going to change, but I also believe that people deserve the space to heal, to evolve and to move forward. That episode served a purpose for me at that time and it was real. It was honest and it came from exactly where I was emotionally in that moment. But I’m not in that same place anymore.”

Bunnie admits she has seen all the comments from online users, pointing out that it appears she moved on too quickly after the divorce, but she explains the public doesn’t see everything and the truth is she has actually been mourning their failed marriage for the past year.
“I had visions of the news breaking of it happening. And there is so much behind the scenes that I have not spoken on and that I will never speak on because it doesn’t matter. I will only tell you guys my part in the demise of my marriage. And when people see me out having fun and just living my best life, I can see where they would be like, ‘Wow, they just announced the divorce.’ But really you guys have to understand, I have been sitting in purgatory for two and a half months in my studio house.”
What fans didn’t see were the days when Bunnie was on the floor “screaming, crying,” while her friends brought IVs to the house because she wasn’t eating or drinking and was barely able to stand amid the devastation she was facing.
“You guys took turns watching me, not just because I wouldn’t eat, but because you guys were so scared for my mental health. None of you guys would leave me alone. You, Monica and Mimi always fu**ing just made sure that somebody was there for me,” she said talking to the guests on the couch across from her.”
Bunnie goes on to say that she made a promise to herself a long time ago not to let the public see her in a weak state. Part of the reason behind that is her mission to let other women know that they will get through whatever struggles they are facing and will find that there are much better days ahead. Plus, she has no desire to make this divorce her entire personality moving forward.
“I don’t want to be the poster child for divorce. I don’t want people DMing me saying, ‘I’m so sorry your husband left you.’ When you guys really don’t even know the whole story, you guys only know bits and pieces. There’s so much more to me than just one painful chapter in my life and there’s so much more that I want to talk about and that I want to create and that I want to laugh about and that I want to experience with you guys.”
The divorce episode was Bunnie’s highest viewed post to date and it made her a hundred grand, but she still took it down because she made it clear she doesn’t care about the money.
“If I cared about the money, I would’ve left it up and let it get another fu**ing hundred grand…I think the key points of what you guys wanted to know about the divorce podcast is all on TikTok. Just type in ‘Bunnie Xo Divorce Podcast.’ You’ll see all the clips.”
Bunnie is clearly in a new season of life and she is looking forward to embracing that rather than letting the past define her.
“I am so much more of a different human now than I was in that relationship. I feel so good. I’m so happy. I am so free. They said to me the other day, they said, ‘Bunnie, I haven’t seen you this happy in eight years. I’ve never seen this side of you.’ My OCD is getting better. And I think it’s because of the HRT that I got on. It’s been really interesting getting to know myself after this.”
However, Bunnie acknowledged that moving forward, she plans to be more private about her dating life and the moments she shares publicly with others. This comment was made in reference to the recent viral video of her kissing a 24-year-old reality star during a Fourth of July celebration in downtown Nashville at her former husband Jelly Roll’s bar.
“Listen, can your girl get a sweet little kiss under the fireworks? I’ve never had that done. I though it was so sweet… It’s just let your girl live. Let her just live a tiny bit. I’m not dating anyone. I don’t want to date anyone. I am here for fun, baby. I am having fun. I learned a lot of lessons this week and I’m going to take it on the chin because I did this and I take full accountability for it.”

She added, “I just want to clarify though, I wasn’t on a fu**ing date…I’m not dating anybody. I do not want to be with anybody. There’s an icebox where my heart used to be…And that shit is chained up. Trust me, nobody’s getting through. I’m working on healing myself. I want to come and go as I please. I might even have a roster, never know.”
She closed by asking fans to stop jumping to conclusions and assuming that every person she posts with or every artist whose music she uses is someone she is connected to romantically.
“If you guys ever have any questions, of course ask me. I will always tell you. And your girl’s just out here fu**ing having fun, living my best life and going back and forth with you.”

Alan Jackson and his wife, Denise, are celebrating a new addition to their growing family.
The country music icon took to social media to announce the arrival of their fifth grandchild, sharing a sweet first photo of their newest grandson, Samuel Hudson Carrington, who will go by Hudson. The baby is the first child for Jackson’s youngest daughter, Dani Grace Carrington, and her husband, Sam.
Alongside the heartwarming snapshot, Jackson shared his excitement over the family’s newest blessing.
“Denise and I are overjoyed to announce the birth of our fifth grandchild, Samuel Hudson Carrington (Hudson), born July 9 to Dani and her husband Sam,” Jackson wrote.
Hudson joins Jackson and Denise’s growing family of grandchildren. Their daughter, Alexandra “Ali” Bradshaw, and her husband, Sam Bradshaw, are parents to son Jackson Alvie, who was born in 2022, and daughter Parker Anne, who arrived earlier in 2026. Their eldest daughter, Mattie Jackson Smith, and her husband, Connor Smith, share two children as well: son Wesley Alan Smith, born in 2024, and daughter Charlotte Ann “Charlie” Smith, who was welcomed in 2026.
The family news comes just days after Alan Jackson closed out his legendary touring career with his final concert in Nashville, where more than 80,000 fans gathered across Music City to celebrate the country icon during an unforgettable evening.
Fans who weren’t able to attend, or those hoping to relive the historic night, will soon have the chance to experience it again. Jackson is set to release the performance as a live album, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale (Live from Nashville), later this year. Pre-orders are available now, and according to his official website, the album is expected to ship on December 31, 2026.
All three of Jackson’s daughters, Mattie, Ali, and Dani, were there to witness the milestone moment. Following the show, Mattie took to social media to reflect on her father’s iconic career.
“There’s no telling what number show this was for me in 36 years. But it’s one I’ll never ever forget. We’ve always been so proud of @officialalanjackson, of course. But it’s easy to lose sight of just how remarkable his life and career has been when it’s always been the ‘normal’ backdrop to your life,” she wrote.
Later, she added, “Saturday was anything but normal. His music has transcended generations. His words have both healed and celebrated real people’s lives in their broken and beautiful moments. He’s always sung the truth which is why fans always come back.”
The show was also filmed for an NBC special, which will air later this year.
