Jelly Roll has 'never felt better' amid months-long break from social media 'toxicity'

Jelly Roll is clearing up why he's been taking a break from social media.
Earlier this week, the country music star's wife Bunnie XO said on her podcast, "Dumb Blonde," that Jelly Roll has been spending time away from the internet due to weight shaming and online bullying. But in an interview with Variety published Friday, the Grammy-nominated country singer and rapper clarified her earlier comments, saying he doesn't "hate social media."
"I probably shouldn’t elaborate on this because nobody on my team wants me to, but I don’t have a problem with social media. And it wasn’t just bullying that did it. It was not only the toxicity of social media, but the addiction of it. I was becoming too busy to waste hours of my life scrolling," Jelly Roll told the entertainment outlet.
Jelly Roll told Variety he has been off of social media for a few months, and he has seen the health benefits.
"I’ve never felt better or healthier mentally — never felt more clearheaded. I’ve also never had less of an idea what was going on in the world, but I tell you what, I’m definitely not coming back before the election. Bad joke," he said.
Bunnie, whose legal name is Alisa DeFord, revealed the news in a TikTok video Sunday, which was a snippet from Wednesday's episode.

"My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his ... weight," Bunnie, 44, said. "And that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby. My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m going to have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him."
"The internet can say whatever ... they want about you and they say, 'You’re a celebrity. You’re supposed to be able to handle it,'" she continued, before adding "enough is enough."
Bunnie XO warned listeners not to bully people "because you never know where they are mentally."
