Elsewhere in the podcast, Bunnie reflected on the disagreement that led to the decision to file for divorce.
She said, "On Mother's Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don't think the details are necessary. And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, 'Well, then file the f--king divorce papers.'"
