Reflects on fear, faith, and the power of independence

Bunnie XO, renowned as the partner of musical icon Jelly Roll, recently commemorated a significant personal milestone. A year ago, Bunnie decided to retire from the sex work industry, a move that marked a new chapter in her life and career. Through a heartfelt message shared on social media, Bunnie looked back on this transformative period with both honesty and gratitude.

In March 2023, Bunnie announced the closure of her “spicy site,” reflecting on the journey with fondness. Revisiting this decision, she expressed the mixed emotions that accompanied her retirement. “I was SO scared to let go of that part of my life & leave behind the money I was making,” she shared. Yet, her faith played a crucial role in navigating this change. “But I had faith & let God have it & he made sure I made it back 10 fold.”

Bunnie’s transition wasn’t just about financial security but also about asserting her independence and creative vision. She highlighted the unwavering support from her community, thanking those who have supported her through various avenues like Patreon, merchandise purchases, podcast listenership, and daily engagement.

The relationship between Bunnie and Jelly Roll, which began at one of his concerts in 2015, quickly blossomed, leading to an engagement and marriage in 2016. Despite the swift progression of their relationship, Bunnie maintained a strong desire for independence, continuing her work in the sex industry even after marriage. This choice, often misunderstood by outsiders, was clarified by Bunnie in a candid response. She emphasized her commitment to independence and the mutual respect in her marriage that allowed her to pursue her goals without constraint.

Bunnie’s entrepreneurial spirit shone through as she recounted the development of her brand, Bunnie XO, initially funded by her earnings from sex work. The brand’s success eventually matched and then surpassed her previous income, prompting Bunnie to fully dedicate herself to this new venture.

In her reflection, Bunnie underscores the importance of personal growth, independence, and the supportive partnership she shares with Jelly Roll. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, hard work, and the courage to embrace change.
