Bunnie XO has spoken out about her husband Jelly Roll's recent cheating confession.

The podcast host reacted to critics of their marriage by taking to social media with a strong message.

"It actually takes a stronger woman to face pain head-on, do the work, and rebuild with the man she loves - instead of running or gossiping," Bunnie wrote in a reply to an online commenter who had criticised her decision to stay with Jelly Roll despite learning he had had an affair.

"Growth isn't weakness, it's grace."

Bunnie, 45, added she would pray for the person she was responding to.

"But not everyone's built for that kind of strength," she wrote. "I pray you never have to feel that pain bc you're judging another woman's life."

To drive the point home, Bunnie and shared a screenshot of the interaction as an Instagram Story.

Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, told the story of his infidelity on the 21 October episode of the Human School podcast.

"I don't talk about this publicly at all," the Southern hip-hop star confessed, "but one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife."

He also explained he and his wife of nine years had worked hard to reestablish trust.

"I did a lot of work to repair that relationship," Jelly Roll said. "The repair has been special. And we're stronger than we could have ever been."
