Bunnie said she couldnt watch films rated above a G-rating or listen to secular music.
She speculates that her fathers alcoholism led to his cheating, which prompted the family to turn towards faith.
Bunnie also dealt with verbal and physical abuse from her stepmother.
However, Bunnie believes how she was treated prevented her from having a victim mentality as she got older.
At 14, she became a runaway, left her home, and never looked back.
At the age of 21, Bunnie began stripping for the next 11 years.
Even after marrying Jelly Roll in 2016, Bunnie refused to rely on him.
She continued to work as a call girl, often earning more money than him at the time.
He also never asked her to give up anything she was doing.
Between 2017 and 2018, Bunnie got sober.
She called it the hardest yet most rewarding journey.
She did this without help from anyone, not even her husband.
Bunnie launched her popular weekly podcastDumb Blondein 2019, which continues to this day.
She interviews guests about the realness that life throws at us.
In 2022, her Bunnie XO brand was making as much money if not more than her SW money.
The following year, she quit OnlyFans and has never looked back.
Doctors suspected an aneurysm in her carotid artery, a discovery that sent a chill through her.
It was one of her biggest fears, shaped by her mothers near-fatal rupture years before.
Fearing the worst, Bunnie cried for three days before returning for additional tests.
The whole experience made Bunnie appreciate her life so much more.
