Bunnie XO is letting negativity roll off her back.
The Dumb Blonde podcast host—who has been married to country music star Jelly Roll since 2016—shut down criticism over a video of herself recently meeting her "hall pass" crush, Chris "Motionless" Cerulli of the goth-metal band Motionless in White. In an April 28 TikTok set to "The Power of Love" by Céline Dion, Bunnie (real name Alisa DeFord) shook hands with the rocker backstage at one of his shows, before joking in the caption, "You could say we're in love now."
Jelly Roll (born Jason DeFord) was even in on the joke, quipping "Bout Time" in the comments section, but others weren't so thrilled with Bunnie's post. As the internet personality shared on her Facebook, "So many ppl offended & upset about my 'hall pass' video."
"Sorry y'all aren't comfortable in your own skin & too insecure to let your s/o joke around," she wrote on April 29. "I'd hate to live in a cage like that. Y'all forget my husband is my bestfriend & love of my life."

The 44-year-old went on to reiterate that it was a joke, noting that she and Jelly Roll, 39, were "giggling over it."
"Half the things I say & do are a JOKE. Satire," she continued. "If you don't kno the definition look it up & while you're at it, look up the word personality. Maybe it will help some of y'all find one."
This was not the first time Bunnie clapped back at internet trolls. Earlier this month, she called out those who bullied her husband over his weight.
"It hurts him," Bunnie said on the April 24 episode of her podcast. "The internet can say whatever the f--k they want about you and they say, ‘Well, you're a celebrity, you're supposed to be able to handle it.' No, the f--k you're not."
She added, "You're never going to bully me. You're never going to lie about me or my family. I will fight ‘til the end."
