Bunnie XO, the 44-year-old YouTube sensation and wife of musician Jelly Roll, recently made a rare and emotional confession about a significant health scare she experienced. During a candid episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie revealed the terrifying ordeal she faced following a medical emergency that left her grappling with constant headaches.
Recalling a moment from the past when she first sought medical advice for her persistent symptoms, Bunnie shared that doctors initially informed her of a potentially life-threatening condition—a brain aneurysm. “My mom had an aneurysm, and it ruptured,” she explained, drawing a connection between her own experience and her mother’s close brush with death. “And she almost died. I’ve been getting MRIs done on my head since I was a f teenager. I might have accidentally manifested it because I had a panic attack.”
Bunnie described the overwhelming fear that gripped her after learning about the aneurysm. She recounted the distressing moment when she called her doctor in the middle of the night, desperate to understand the underlying cause of her headaches. “One of [my] biggest fears [was] coming to fruition,” she admitted, emphasizing the profound impact of the diagnosis.
The situation became even more distressing when Bunnie learned that she was at a higher risk of a rupture due to her family’s medical history. “I’m in a higher percentile of rupturing because my mom had one,” she said, highlighting the inherited risk factor that heightened her anxiety. Bunnie recounted the intense emotional response she experienced, saying, “There were just so many things that went through my mind. And I instantly just hit my knees and started praying. I bawled my eyes out. I cried so hard, I pulled a muscle in my neck. I cried for three days.”
The physical and emotional toll of the scare was severe, with Bunnie describing sleepless nights, excessive sweating, and overwhelming stress. “And I can’t sleep. I haven’t slept. I’m sweating so bad. I have diarrhea. I’m just, like, so freaked out and stressed out,” she confessed, offering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the turmoil she endured.
Fortunately, Bunnie received reassuring news just a week later, learning that she was in good health. The pressure and fear that had consumed her were finally alleviated, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief. Despite the scare, Bunnie’s story is a testament to her resilience and her willingness to share her most vulnerable moments with her audience.
