Bunnie Xo is sharing new details about her split from Jelly Roll — and making it clear that she does not view their divorce as a mutual decision.
During the June 18 episode of her "Dumb Blonde" podcast titled "The Divorce," the 46-year-old admitted that conflict had always been a challenge in their relationship.

Bunnie Xo Details a Mother’s Day Fight Changed Everything

According to Bunnie, things came to a head during an argument on Mother's Day. Though she did not reveal what the fight was about, she recalled reaching her limit.
"I just looked at him and I said, 'Well, file the f------ divorce papers,'" she shared.
The podcaster acknowledged that the phrase carried extra weight coming from her. "And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don't say, even though my husband has said it numerous times," she explained. "But when I say it, it really holds weight, because I'm not the type of person who says what I don't mean."
The couple reportedly went weeks without speaking after the fight.
After the argument, Bunnie said she left their home and cut off communication. "I packed a bag and left," she recalled.
The estranged couple then went weeks without speaking. "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," Bunnie said.

While some assumed the split was a joint decision, the Influencer made it clear that wasn't the case. "Was this divorce mutual? No. It was not mutual," she said.
Even so, she admitted she understood why the separation happened.
"I was speaking out of anger and just frustration," she explained. "But was it necessary for us to have a wake-up call and for us to start having these real conversations? Absolutely."
