Brianna LaPaglia says Bunnie XO is still under Jelly Roll’s ‘mind control’ amid divorce
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The ongoing separation between country star Jelly Roll and his ex-wife Bunnie XO has drawn fresh attention after podcaster Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia shared her views on the former couple’s relationship.
While Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have continued to maintain a respectful public image following their split, LaPaglia questioned the nature of Bunnie XO’s support for her former husband during a recent episode of her podcast.
Brianna LaPaglia says Bunnie XO is still protecting Jelly Roll
Speaking candidly on her 'Plan Bri Uncut' podcast, LaPaglia claimed that Bunnie XO remained under Jelly Roll’s "mind control" while discussing their highly publicized divorce.
“She doesn’t mean that. She’s still under the mind control of (Jelly Roll),” she said. “And this is why I know that she doesn’t mean that because all of her closest friends are reposting - like her girls that you always see her with - They’re reposting the most asinine, crazy, insulting videos about Jelly Roll and how he’s the worst person and how people only like him because of Bunnie."
LaPaglia said she believed Bunnie XO’s continued defense of Jelly Roll came from wanting to protect him rather than reflecting her true feelings about the situation.
“Bunnie is just doing the thing where she’s still protecting him. I went through that at a point too, where it’s like you’re not fully stepped out of the situation yet,” she continued.
The podcaster also claimed that Jelly Roll’s public image was closely connected to Bunnie XO’s support and described how she believed Bunnie had helped shape the persona fans connected with.
“She just still wants to protect him,” LaPaglia added. "She’s going to step out of this a year from now and be like, ‘Jelly Belly lost weight, and the second he drops weight, take it for what it actually is.'"
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s divorce filing revealed
Jelly Roll quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie XO on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, ending nearly a decade of marriage.
The 41-year-old singer cited "irreconcilable differences" as the legal reason for the split. Court documents confirmed that the former couple agreed to divide their shared assets and marital debts.
The filing surprised many fans, as Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO had long been known for publicly supporting each other and sharing their relationship journey with audiences.
Despite their separation, the former couple has continued to maintain a public image of mutual respect while outside commentary has sparked further discussion about their divorce.
