Bunnie XO has addressed those concerns during a recent episode of her "Dumb Blonde" podcast.
"I never had a problem with alcohol, I never had a problem with drinking in general," Bunnie Xo said. "I stopped drinking because I wanted to stop drinking, because the next day, my mental health could not handle it."
Bunnie XO then continued by explaining that right now, she's just having fun, and isn't concerned by the change in her lifestyle.
"Your girl has been having a little fun in the comfort of my own home," she continued. "With just the girls. I don't think there's anything wrong with blowing off some steam. I'm literally blowing off 10 years of steam."
Notably, Bunnie XO also addressed her fans who are concerned that she may be taking drugs as she lets her hair down with friends.
"There are people in my comments saying that I'm on drugs. I would never," Bunnie XO explained. She emphasized that she's being open about drinking again and doesn't intend to mislead the people who have followed her journey. I tell you guys everything I do before I do it. I've never lied. I've never led you guys astray. I'm just having fun, and I deserve to have fun without being judged."
Bunnie Xo Doesn't Plan on Going Back to How She Was Before Her Divorce
Later in the podcast, Bunnie XO addressed a section of her fans who have noted they miss the version of her that spent large amounts of time on her farm, posting videos with her animals.
"The Bunnie who sat outside with her animals was the most depressed version of myself that I have ever been," she said. "I literally sat outside with my animals and cried and just soaked in their love and their energy."
Instead, Bunnie XO would prefer that she be allowed to find herself following her divorce.
"I don't think it's fair to not allow a woman, or a person, who is trying to find themselves in a world that they haven't been in before. 10 years ago when I was single, it was a different world. And it's a newer world now, and I'm just trying to navigate it."
Right now, Bunnie XO is navigating the start of a new life. The fact that so many people are worried about her is proof of the online community she's built. However, it's unlikely that Bunnie XO is going to change her approach to life based on that community's concerns, at least not right now.
