“Nobody cheated. Period. [Get] the f*** out of my comments, my DMs, my live with that s***, I don’t care, I don’t want to talk about it,” Bailee, 18, said in a TikTok livestream on Sunday, July 19, per People.
The country singer’s daughter, whom he shares with ex Felicia Beckwith, then said that “y’all have no f***ing idea what happened” between Jelly Roll, 41, and Bunnie, 46, “and wait ‘til y’all find out.”
According to Bailee, people’s “knowledge of the situation” surrounding the couple’s separation is incomplete. She said that “the internet in totality is about to f***ing crumble the day that I open my mouth.”
“It’s not a difference in f***ing opinions,” she shared. “Nobody else lived in it. So don’t f***ing even. I’m for real so done. Good? Everybody good? We’re on the same page? Cool.”
News broke in June that Jelly Roll – real name Jason Bradley DeFord – had filed for divorce from the “Dumb Blonde” podcast host in Tennessee a month earlier. The divorce was finalized earlier this month, per court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Jelly Roll was granted an “absolute divorce” on grounds of “irreconcilable differences” on Friday, July 17, per the docs.
Bunnie addressed the divorce proceedings on the June 18 episode of her podcast.
“J and I have never really been good at having disagreements. So, we were the type of couple who never argued. So, he would be holding things in. I would be holding things in, and that’s a recipe for disaster,” Bunnie explained at the time. “We always preach you gotta be comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations, and we did that for eight years in. Then the past year and a half, we kind of got away from that because we’re in a different life right now.”

“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” she said. “And, in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers.'”
“Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual,” she alleged.
Bunnie later took down the podcast episode.
“I took it down because I realized I just don’t want one of the hardest moments of my life to become a permanent headline,” she said on the July 10 episode of “Dumb Blonde.”
She added, “I don’t want to live in that, but I also believe that people deserve the space to heal, to evolve, and to move forward. … But also, if I’m being real, I don’t want the divorce to become my entire personality. I don’t want to be the poster child for divorce.”
For his part, Jelly Roll – who also has a son, Noah, 9, from a previous relationship – addressed the split on stage during his Saratoga Springs, New York, tour stop in mid-June.
“Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends. We just got off the phone earlier today,” he said. “Nobody cheated on nobody. She just did a whole podcast about it. You can go watch it. Every word of it is the truth.”
