Bunny XO expressed deep emotion recently as she looked back on her challenging history, sharing a series of photos on social media that reflect her past. In an open discussion with her followers, Jelly Roll’s wife revealed her encounters with the law as part of a project connected to her upcoming book release next year.
Bunny, whose real name is Alisa Deford, was taken aback by the old photos and thanked God for saving her from her struggles with addiction. She noted how much she had suffered and acknowledged the weight of her past.
In an Instagram post, she commented on the surprising emotions that surfaced while reviewing her headshots, reminiscing about starting out at just 19 years old. She recalled living on the streets of Las Vegas for five years and the heartbreaking losses she endured during that time.
“With every image, my eyes seemed to reflect more sadness and despair,” she admitted. “The fact I’m smiling in some of them just shows how distant I was from my true self and feelings.” She expressed a desire to reach out and embrace the girl she was back then.
Throughout her journey, Bunny acknowledged that her past was marked by a fierce sense of independence, often leading her to make reckless choices. She mentioned a particularly difficult moment when she was arrested for soliciting, noting how it illustrated her fight for survival.
She shared that she reached a breaking point, feeling exhausted from the cycle of starting over yet again. It was then, she said, that she had to confront a hard truth: she was both the cause of her struggles and the only one who could save herself.
God, she reflected, never allowed her to stay down for long, reminding her of her worth and purpose through each difficult experience. Bunny emphasized that she doesn’t feel ashamed of her past photos; instead, they serve as reminders of how far she’s come thanks to grace.
Her words reached many fans, who applauded her vulnerability and resilience. Jelly Roll, too, acknowledged her impact on him, crediting her story with inspiring his own transformation. He expressed gratitude for her presence in his life and the perseverance they’ve shown together.
While both musicians have weathered storms, they continue to support each other in their journey toward healing and recovery. Bunny’s past might be filled with struggles, but her outlook on rebuilding her life, and encouraging others to do the same, stands strong.
