Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll’s wife, shared her experience with OCD on her podcast, Dumb Blonde, addressing prevalent misconceptions about the condition.
“I know some people joke about being a little OCD, but as someone who’s actually living with OCD, I’ll be the first to tell you it’s not a laughing matter,” Bunnie XO said.
“It isn’t just being tidy or organized. OCD is actually having disturbing, unwanted thoughts that cause you overwhelm5ing anxiety because they just feel so wrong, and you really don’t wanna be thinking about them.”
Bunnie XO then went into detail about her repetitious conduct.
“You do [them] to try to make the anxiety from those thoughts go away; but that just doesn’t work in the long run, and they just keep coming back,” she explained.
“The idea that OCD is only about hand-washing and organization is a complete misconception,” Bunnie continued. “It often focuses on the things we care about most, our relationships, religious beliefs, our hobbies, and passions, in an attempt to make the distress from their unwanted thoughts go away.”
Earlier this year, Bunnie XO told fans that she had a “pretty scary” experience after having an MRI/MRA.
According to her, her results indicated that she had a “two-millimeter aneurysm on my carotid artery,” but she was later informed that it was most likely “an artifact.”
“I tell you what, this health scare put so much in perspective for me,” Bunnie XO told her followers. “It honestly made me want to change a lot of things in my life.”
She shared, “Be more appreciative of my family & friends. It also made me reevaluate my relationship w/ God & learn to have faith for the first time in my life.”
In May, 2024, Bunnie XO suffered the loss of her father, Bill. He di:ed of cancer.
Bunnie XO paid tributes to her dad on the social media, writing, “Hey Bill, I’m going to miss you. You are still my favorite rock star & my hero. This one’s going to hurt.”
