Jelly Roll’s wife Bunnie Xo has come to his defense after fans accused the singer of picking his nose and eating the contents while watching a UFC match over the weekend.
Video circulating online shows Jelly, 39 – sitting behind president-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Kid Rock at UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden – rubbing his nose and moving his fingers to his mouth.
While Bunnie acknowledged her husband was ‘knuckle deep in his freaking nose’, she explained it’s part of a ‘tic’ her husband does out of nervousness and called on fans to let him be and allow him to ‘eat his damn f**king booger.’
‘Everybody says he ate it, but I saw him roll it in his hand first and kind of flick it, and then just touched his mouth,’ she said on her podcast, Dumb Blonde.
‘Let’s just say he did eat it,’ she continued. ‘First of all, my husband has a little tic, OK? He’s always had a little tic, and when he’s nervous, he picks his f**king nose.
‘There are so many times that I have pulled his hands away from his face because he’ll just start digging in his nose. He doesn’t normally eat them. But he’ll just dig in his nose dude.

‘And he fact that the world is like, “Oh my God, I can’t believe Jelly Roll f**king is eating a booger.”… And for those who said they can believe it, you know who we are, we’re f**king dirtbags,’ she said.
‘It’s hilarious,’ she said of the comments section. ‘But the funniest thing is like, you guys will support women drinking their own period blood, smearing their period blood on their faces, pouring it in plants. But my husband eats something from his… we’re all about our bodies, our rights? Right? Well, let him eat his f**king damn booger!’

The star detailed how he’s gone from a culture of ‘alcohol and drugs’ to embracing physical fitness and healthier foods in a recent interview with People.
Jelly, who appears on the cover of the magazine, believes he’s dropped 60-70 pounds alone since beginning his Beautifully Broken tour in August.
He’s now opened up about how he stays fit on the road – a departure from the partying lifestyle he was once engrained in.
The musician has reᴀssessed his relationship with food – and is now reaping the benefits. ‘The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,’ he told the magazine.

‘I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.’
Jelly said he plays basketball with his crew everyday on tour and he’s made healthy eating and exercise a top priority during his tour.
‘It’s cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs,’ he said.
‘And now our tour culture is around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day.’
