Bunnie Xo's DMs Hit Overdrive Post-Divorce: The Thirsty Guy Chronicles

If your inbox has ever exploded after a relationship ends, Bunnie Xo just gave you permission to laugh about it — hard. The podcast host and memoir author posted a hilarious video this week showing exactly what it’s like opening her direct messages since her split from country star Jelly Roll went public, and honestly, the volume is apparently off the charts.

In the Tuesday, June 23 clip, Bunnie uses face-morphing filters to transform herself into various men with different facial hair styles, lip-syncing along to Petey Pablo’s notoriously explicit track“Freek-A-Leek”— a song that’s basically a bedroom wish list set to a beat.“What it’s like opening my DMs right now,”she captioned the post, before adding a simple plea:“Send help.”It’s the kind of self-aware, tongue-in-cheek response that suggests she’s handling the chaos with humor rather than frustration, which honestly feels like the healthiest move in a messy moment.

The video arrived just over a week after court documents revealed that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce in May, ending nearly a decade of marriage. What came next was decidedly unconventional. Rather than retreating, Bunnie hit her podcast to share her side of the story, explaining that while she felt blindsided by the filing, she and Jelly are still“best friends”and plan to move forward with their plan to welcome a baby together via IVF despite the split. She even praised Jelly’s willingness to start dating again, laughing it off on air and saying he was“ready to go”with his new romantic pursuits.

What makes this whole situation notable isn’t just the humor — it’s the refreshing directness about what happens when a high-profile marriage unravels in the public eye. Bunnie isn’t playing the victim or pretending the attention doesn’t exist. She’s acknowledging the absurdity of the thirsty inbox phenomenon with a filter-heavy joke that practically everyone who’s been through a breakup will recognize, even if their DM traffic was mercifully quieter. In a landscape where celebrity divorces often get wrapped in drama and defensiveness, her approach feels almost revolutionary: acknowledge it, laugh at it, move on.
