Bunnie Xo says online bullying ‘hurts’ Jelly Roll
“My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m going to have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him,” she stated.
The 44-year-old model, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, also alleged that the “internet can say whatever the f**k they want about you and they say, ‘You’re a celebrity. You’re supposed to be able to handle it.’ No the f**k we’re not,” before asserting, “Enough is enough.”

During the episode, Bunnie shed light on the consequences of trolling.
She shared, “Don’t bully people, because you never know where they are mentally. There are a lot of people who are not as strong as me, that are on the internet, and they don’t deserve to f****n’ be bullied.”
Bunnie then added, “You’re never going to bully me. You’re never going to lie about me or my family, and I will fight to the end.”
Bunnie Xo shifts toward a healthier lifestyle
This came after Jelly spoke about his weight loss journey before he joins Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura in the 2 Bears 5K at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on May 7.
He reportedly revealed, “I'm probably down 70-something pounds. I've been really kicking a*s, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week.”

The rapper continued, “I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now."
“I feel really good. I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds].”
“If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour [this summer],” Jelly added.
Internet reacts
Meanwhile, Bunnie’s words have left people feeling bad.
A Facebook user said, “That's awful. He is a King. He has done so much for his family and friends, not to mention his fans. People are just sad and miserable and want to take it out on others. I can relate, I've been bullied my whole life for being fat or being bigger than everyone else my age. He will always be loved and respected by his true fans.”
Another user wrote, “I’ve always struggled with my weight and I’ve gotten to a point or now I just say weight is just a number and people need to get over it. There is no reason in this world, that anyone needs to be bullied everybody has flaws. Everybody has flaws and people need to except flaws.”
A third user shared, “Me too I was bullied when I was younger because of my size still a big guy today and it led me to some bad times in my life tell him keep doing what he’s doing.”
“People talk sooo much crap online that they would never say to someone's face,” a fourth user stated.
“People should worry more about the character of a person than what they look like. Physically sad world we live in!” a fifth one added.
