Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee Ann, begged for “compassion” amid the onslaught of “hate” her family is receiving following her dad’s shocking divorce from longtime wife Bunnie Xo.
The 18-year-old thanked those who have been showing her “so much love and kindness through everything” since the news broke and called out the haters in an expiring TikTok update Wednesday.
“I will never forget those of you that have showed me empathy when I’m seeing a lot of hate. Thank you. So much,” she wrote, shouting out those who “go out of your way to make me feel protected & seen.”
“And to everyone else, I hope humanity can evolve to a place where kindness comes first. I understand & respect opinions and that a public profile is a public profile, but that doesn’t have to mean we throw away our human decency. I love ALL of you 🤍.”
Bailee Ann first broke her silence on her father’s divorce in a prior post Tuesday in which she said she is “disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter.”
“worry bout your house – not mine,” she added of the “fkn crazy” attention the split is getting. “I’m not speaking on it – yet.”
Jelly Roll — who welcomed Bailee Ann and son Noah Buddy, 9, from previous relationships — quietly filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee.
The Grammy winner, 41, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for his split from the “Dumb Blonde” podcast host, 46. The two have been married since 2016.
On Wednesday, an insider exclusively told Page Six the estranged couple’s divorce was “a combination of issues that had been building for years.”
“Some people around them felt there was growing tension as Jelly embraced a more faith-centered lifestyle while Bunnie continued building the outspoken and provocative brand that had always been authentic to her,” the source told us.
They added: “Whether that’s fair or not, it became increasingly difficult to reconcile those two worlds.”
“Bunnie has always been unapologetically herself, and while that’s something [Jelly’s] admired about her, there were times when it felt like they were no longer aligned with where he saw his life heading or what he envisioned for the future,” the source noted.
The split comes at even more of a shock as the now-exes were trying to have a baby in recent months.
The “Son of a Sinner” singer and Bunnie revealed they were undergoing a “rough” in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey in an interview just months before their divorce.
Bunnie, notably, shared a racy image just hours before news broke of Jelly’s divorce filing.
“She’s getting her sparkle back,” she cryptically wrote atop the photo.
Most recently, a moving truck was spotted outside of their shared residence in Tennessee. It’s unclear at this time as to whose items were being moved from their marital home.
