ANTIOCH, TENNESSEE: Jelly Roll and his family are reportedly facing a very difficult situation after his wife Bunnie XO infuriated a convicted murderer, sources told Radar Online.

The country heavyweight’s wife revealed on an episode of her ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast that she had contacted Wade Wilson, dubbed the ‘Deadpool Killer’, for a potential docu-series she wanted to make about him.

Wilson was sentenced to death in August for the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape Coral, Florida, in 2019.

Wade Wilson began 'giving out' Bunnie XO's phone number

However, the situation soon turned grim. Bunnie XO disclosed on her podcast, that after speaking to the convicted murderer, Wade Wilson started giving out her phone number to multiple individuals, as reported by Hello!

“Wade took it upon himself after that first phone call that we had to start giving my phone number out to random women. I was getting so frustrated with all the drama.”

He also demanded money in exchange for his story but due to A Son of Sam law - which bans criminals from making money from the promotion of their crimes - Bunnie’s manager refused.

Wilson, however, did not stop as he reportedly told her, “Even monsters get paid!” and vaguely threatened her while also bringing up her rapper husband’s criminal history.

Bunnie then played, on her podcast, a recording of Wilson in which he can be heard saying, "I know some people, and everybody's got a past."

“He's insinuating he knows the same people my husband does," Bunnie added. 

"And I knew exactly what he was talking about, but I wasn't going to feed into it, 'cause you're not going to threaten me'," Bunnie told her listeners.

Bunnie XO, whose legal name is Alyssa DeFord, is now raising money for the families of Melton and Ruiz.

Jelly Roll does not want his wife ‘compromising’ their safety

A tipster informed Radar Online, “Bunnie should have known better. Did she really expect to have a productive partnership with a psychopath?”

“The scary part is the family can never really be comfortable moving forward with this guy manipulating his twisted followers from behind bars!” they mentioned.

Another source added while referring to Roll, “The safety of his family means everything to him. He doesn't want her compromising that!”

Bunnie XO issues apology for ‘being insensitive' to the victims' families

Bunnie XO admitted during a recent episode of her podcast that she felt bad for having "empathy" for Wade Wilson in the past.



 

She had admitted, “I feel bad for even having empathy for anybody other than the victims in this. I always try to see every side of every story, but I didn't know his entire story and I just shouldn't have said what I said without knowing so many of the facts.”

Also, in a TikTok video, Bunnie reportedly continued, "I think anybody who has followed me for a very long time knows that my intentions were not to glorify somebody."

“Being curious about why a killer is a [expletive] whack job does not make me a bad person because there are so many people who are interested in true crime and murderers get interviews all the time.”

“But what makes me an [expletive] is being insensitive to the victims' families. Even though it wasn't intentional, it's still what happened. For that, I do apologize,” she added.

Wade Wilson was nicknamed the 'Deadpool killer' because he shares his name with the Marvel character played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie franchise 'Deadpool'.
