Bunnie Xo, known for her candidness and popular podcast, recently unveiled details about her past as a high-end sex worker. In a revealing interview with Juju Chang on Nightline, Bunnie discussed how her earnings from sex work played a crucial role in supporting her husband, Jelly Roll, particularly in gaining custody of his daughter, Bailee.
While she didn't disclose an exact number, Bunnie shocked viewers with a ballpark figure, revealing that her most profitable nights brought in over $100,000. "Definitely six figures," she confirmed, and when pressed, acknowledged the amounts were "more." Her journey from aspiring Vegas showgirl to a high-paying sex worker offers a raw look at her path to financial independence.
“I was SO scared to let go of that part of my life & leave behind the money I was making - wasn't sure how I'd make up that part of my business," Bunnie reflected. "But I had faith & let God have it & he made sure I got it all back 10 fold.”
Bunnie's entry into sex work was rooted in her Las Vegas upbringing, where she initially hoped to become a showgirl. When those dreams didn't pan out, she found herself working as a stripper, eventually transitioning to high-end escort work. "Your moral compass waves," she said, describing her decision to move into sex work after dealing with the demands of the strip club scene.
Despite marrying Jelly Roll, Bunnie continued her work while on tour, maintaining a sense of independence. She candidly discusses this in her book, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, where she opens up about booking clients even while on the road.
Bunnie officially retired from sex work on March 6, 2023, marking the date she shut down her adult content platform. This decision came after years of gradually reducing her involvement in the industry and focusing solely on online services. A year later, she shared her fears and faith in a heartfelt Facebook post, expressing gratitude for the new chapter in her life.
Since leaving sex work, Bunnie has seen her podcast achieve new levels of success, paralleling her husband's booming career in country music. Her story is one of resilience and transformation, proving that reinvention is always within reach.
