Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic arrives on February 10, 2026, via Harper Collins Publishers.

Bunnie XO just announced her first-ever book, a memoir titled Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, that will take readers on a journey through her life from the “trailer parks of Vegas to the mansions of Nashville” in a “modern-day rag to riches story.”
The 45-year-old Dumb Blonde Podcast host and wife of Jelly Roll unveiled all the details of her new, including the release date, title and cover art. Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic will arrive on February 10, 2026, via Harper Collins Publishers. Bunnie XO’s memoir is available now for pre-order, everywhere books are sold.
“You guys know my life has been very unconventional [and] I’ve lived a lot of lives. In this book, I kind of just bled every trauma, every piece of history that is Bunnie XO onto the pages of this book, and I stripped down and bared my soul for the world to read one last time. I’m just so thankful that you guys even care to want to read this book, but it’s here, baby,” Bunnie XO shared in a video on social media.
Bunnie XO, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, is breaking down the walls and sharing her life story with fans. Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic will detail Bunnie XO’s life from “an abused runaway” to becoming one of the most successful podcasters and everything in between, including her struggles with addiction while living in an East Las Vegas trailer park and how her life took a turn when she entered the sex work industry, a move she says allowed her to learn how to “reclaim her power.”
“I’ve always considered myself an open book, so when it came time to pour my heart into chapters, it only felt natural to write about what I know best — my journey, my perspective and the grit that’s carried me through,” Bunnie XO recently told PEOPLE.

Since reclaiming her power, she has gone on to spark widespread acclaim and built quite an impressive empire; from hosting her chart-topping Dumb Blonde Podcast, to producing her family’s reality show Meet The DeFords, growing a massive following (200k+ followers) on Patreon and launching her own Dumb Blonde Productions company. She’s also signed with WME for management and booking.
She continued, “Stripped Down is the rawest reflection of who I am in every form. It felt only fitting to name my book after the way I’ve always lived life — raw, unfiltered and in my naked truth. This book is heartbreak and healing, trauma and triumph, love and betrayal — it’s the ashes I’ve risen from, stitched together with the lessons that shaped me into the woman I am today.”
According to an official description for the 304-page book, Stripped Down is a “rag to riches story for the social media age, and a message of hope to anyone struggling to redeem themselves.”

The book is expected to weave through significant chapters of her life, including the story of how Bunnie met Jelly Roll and married him in 2026, their growth as a couple, co-parenting Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy, and the shared triumphs that followed as they achieved success together.
“That’s my happy ending, of course I will,” Bunnie XO previously confirmed to Music Mayhem when asked about incorporating her and Jelly Roll’s love story.

Bunnie XO told PEOPLE that she hopes as readers turn the pages of her memoir, “you’ll feel every emotion with me. And although I’ve left that lifestyle behind, I’ve stripped down one last time and bared my soul for the world to see.”
Last year, in January of 2024, Bunnie XO announced that she was gearing up to release a tell-all book about her life in an exclusive interview with Music Mayhem.
“The idea for the book came about because I want every person who doesn’t think they can break free from where they’re at in life to know they can,” she explained to Music Mayhem. “Also, no one knows my life story except for what I reveal on the podcast, and I’m asked daily where people can find out more about my life story. Every single stone won’t be left unturned. It’s my time to let y’all know my real and whole story.”
