Don’t Say Goodbye Just Yet: Why You’ll Want to Stick Around a Little Longer
Bunnie XO, the host of the Dumb Blonde podcast, shared heartbreaking news on social media on Wednesday (May 8). She revealed that her father, Bill, has passed away. In a touching post, Bunnie expressed her love for her father, referring to him as her favorite rock star and hero. She posted a series of photos and videos capturing cherished moments with her dad over the years, expressing the deep void his loss has left in her life.
To further commemorate her father, Bunnie shared an emotional montage on Instagram. The montage featured clips of her and Bill enjoying life, alongside her husband Jelly Roll. The poignant video was set to the song “Praying to a God” by Mr. Probz, adding an extra layer of emotion to the tribute.
This devastating news comes less than two years after Bunnie first disclosed her father’s battle with stage 4 cancer. In a previous post, Bunnie shared the heartbreaking journey of her father’s illness. She described how he had chosen to keep his diagnosis private, opting for holistic remedies to heal himself. However, the cancer eventually spread to his bone marrow, causing excruciating pain and limiting his ability to perform basic tasks.
In late 2023, Bill entered hospice care as his health deteriorated. He underwent a second hip replacement surgery in February of this year, showcasing his resilience in the face of adversity.
Despite the challenges her father faced, Bunnie remained a pillar of strength and support for him. Her candid posts about their family’s journey resonated with her followers, highlighting the importance of cherishing loved ones and confronting life’s difficulties with courage and grace.
Bunnie XO’s heartfelt tribute to her father serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a parent and child. Through her words and actions, she honors Bill’s memory and legacy, keeping his spirit alive in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. As Bunnie navigates this profound loss, her vulnerability and authenticity inspire others to embrace their emotions and connect with the profound impact of grief.
