Bunnie Xo Reveals She Has to Turn Herself in to Jail: ‘I’m Going to Vlog It’
In a surprising twist for fans of Bunnie Xo, the popular podcast host and social media influencer revealed on the latest episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast that she is set to serve time in jail due to a suspended license issue stemming from a minor driving incident five years ago. Bunnie, who is married to country music star Jelly Roll, shared the news with her trademark candidness, stating, “You guys, I’m going to jail.” The incident came to light after she was pulled over for speeding and discovered that her license had been suspended since 2020 due to an unpaid ticket she had no recollection of receiving while returning from a family vacation in Alabama.
After realizing the gravity of her situation, Bunnie promptly paid off the outstanding ticket, believing it would lead to the automatic reinstatement of her license. However, during a subsequent traffic stop, she learned from a different officer that her license remained invalid, and she was instructed to turn herself in. With a mix of humor and resilience, she noted on her podcast that she plans to embrace the experience, saying, “If I do — you guys have seen all my past mug shots — I’m going in glammed the f–k up, baby, and I’m going to vlog it.” This incident is not her first encounter with the law; earlier in November, she shared several of her past mugshots on Instagram, reflecting on her journey and personal growth.
Jelly Roll, who has been open about his own past struggles with the law, took to social media to express his admiration for Bunnie, stating that her story has been a source of inspiration for him. He emphasized the importance of their journey together, despite public scrutiny and judgment. As Bunnie prepares to face this new chapter, her fans can expect her trademark honesty and humor to shine through, even in the face of adversity. The couple’s resilience and commitment to each other continue to resonate with their followers, highlighting the transformative power of love and personal growth.

Broaching the subject with her characteristic bluntness, Bunnie broke the news to listeners by saying simply, “You guys, I’m going to jail.”
“Why would I not tell the internet this? I tell the internet everything anyways,” she continued, laughing. “So, uh, your girl got in trouble with the law.”
The YouTuber went on to explain that she was recently pulled over by an officer who, after running her information through his system, informed her that her license had been suspended over an unpaid ticket she’d gotten in 2020 while driving home from a family vacation in Alabama. “Do I remember getting this ticket?” she said. “Absolutely not.”
Bunnie said she immediately paid off the the ticket once it was brought to her attention, assuming that her license would be automatically reinstated as a result. She was wrong.
Cut to a few days ago, Bunnie was once again pulled over for speeding — a charge she jokingly said she could not “confirm or deny” — during which time she was informed by a different officer that her license was still invalid. “He’s like, ‘Sometime this week, you need to go down to the jail and book yourself in,’” she recalled on
Dumb Blonde
, emphasizing that she’d had no idea the entire time that she was committing an “arrestable offense.”
“I got my lawyer on it, whatever,” she added. “It looks like your girl is gonna have to go book herself in. If I do — you guys have seen all my past mug shots — I’m going in glammed the f–k up, baby, and I’m going to vlog it.”
As Bunnie touched on during the podcast, this isn’t the first time she’s had a brush with the law. Earlier in November, she shared seven mugshots from her past arrests on
Instagram
, including one from when she was 26 and was taken into custody after “soliciting an undercover cop on a casino floor.”
“I’m not ashamed of these photos,” she wrote at the time. “They remind me who I used to be, & how far grace has carried me.”
In the comments, Jelly Roll — who recently
shared a video
of himself tearing up over his new Grammy nominations and shaving off his beard for the first time in years — praised his wife. “I would have never became the man I am with out you,” he wrote at the time. It was your story that inspired mine, it was always you I was trying to be like.”
“While people talked about us, judged us, wished on our downfall, we just stayed the course and believed what God had for us no man could take away,” added the country star, who has also
been open about
spending time in and out of jail when he was younger.
