Bunnie’s book, titled Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, was released on Feb. 17, and quickly became a bestseller, thanks to its raw and revealing anecdotes, which touched on everything from her work in the sex industry to her at-times rocky marriage to Jelly Roll.
Now, Stripped Down has returned to number one on Amazon’s entertainment biographies chart, as fans seemingly scramble to seek clues into what led to the star’s much-publicized split.

Amazon has the hardcover version of Bunnie’s book discounted to just $16 right now — a 46% discount. You can also listen to Stripped Down as an audiobook, narrated by Bunnie herself.
The book is branded as a “modern-day rags-to-riches story,” spinning a tale of triumph against all odds. “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,” Bunnie said in an interview with People in regards to the memoir.
The memoir is witty and, at times, intense. That wittiness comes in handy to bring levity to otherwise dark topics. According to a synopsis from Amazon, the book is “cold, clear evidence that no one is irredeemable. With a heavy dose of humor and a refreshing sense of self-awareness, Bunnie pulls no punches as she shares her journey of redemption while offering some homespun wisdom to those who need a little saving themselves.”
The book’s cover is a reflection of Bunnie’s — born Alyssa DeFord — time in the sex-work industry. The star stands topless with her jeans unbuttoned, bearing her truth both physically and emotionally, through this memoir. According to Bunnie, her stint in the industry enabled her to “reclaim her power” following her struggle with addiction and the abuse she faced as a teen. Flash forward, and Bunnie has built an empire around Dumb Blonde Productions, creating a successful podcast with thousands of monthly listeners.

They briefly split in 2018, but they rekindled their relationship. Since their whirlwind love story began, Jelly Roll has written songs dedicated to his wife, including “Hey Mama” from Beautifully Broken and “Kill a Man” from Whitsitt Chapel.
