Watch: Bunnie Xo Details Experience With Suicidal Depression After Using Weight-Loss DrugContent warning: This story discusses suicidal ideation. Bunnie Xo is reflecting on a hard-fought hallelujah moment. Indeed, the model-who's married to country rapper Jelly Roll-detailed how her latest experience with a weight-loss drug affected her mental health. "I literally got sent into the worst suicidal depression that I've had since 2020," Bunnie explained during the Jan. 9 episode of her Dumb Blonde Podcast. "It scared me so bad that I didn't think I was going to make it through the two weeks. I was praying to God. I had no emotion. You could see that my eyes were black. I couldn't even listen to music that brings me joy." Instead, the 45-year-old (real name Alyssa DeFord) was forced to "drive in silence," as the sensation was "either overstimulating or to the point that it stole my joy."photosJelly Roll and Bunnie Xo: Romance Rewind"I had no joy and nothing to live for," she continued. "It was so dark. I'm 20 days out now from taking [my last dose], and I'm finally getting my joy back. But that was a battle." While the Stripped Down author had to navigate through that bleak chapter in her life, she reassured listeners that her experience with the weight-loss drug isn't the end all be all. "My story is not what's going to happen to you," she reiterated. "There's so many people who are taking Reta and love it, but something happened with me."In fact, Bunnie's history with the medication hasn't always been negative, as she noted she felt "good" when she took her last dose in December. As she admitted on her podcast at the time, it was "way better than the first week. I severely lowered my first dose and your girl feels good right now."

"My husband just shaved his face for the first time in 20 years," she told Extra in a Jan. 7 interview. "The coolest part was getting to see him look in the mirror at himself and watching my husband fall in love with himself. That just lifts his spirit so much."

Franklin Sheard/Fad Media Group/ShutterstockGucci ManeThe rapper (real name Radric Davis) revealed in his October 2025 book Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which prompted a mental health episode in 2020. "After that, I was like, 'Man, I got to really just hold myself accountable and take care of my health,'" he said on an episode of The Breakfast Club. "I don't never want to have an episode again. I'm gonna see a therapist, [even] if I have to take medicine." In addition to his hope that his vulnerability would help others in need, Gucci Mane said that his kids Ice Davis and Iceland Ka'oir Davis with wife Keyshia Ka'Oir inspired him to seek help amid his episode. "My wife was pregnant with my little boy," he continued. "I don't want to raise a family and then my mental health [is] gone. What if I have an episode I can't come back from? So, I just started doing the work and started seeking help."Sansho Scott/BFA.com/ShutterstockPenn BadgleyThe Gossip Girl alum detailed his experience as a child actor with what he described as "body dysmorphia." "I know that I hated my body," Penn told The Guardian in April 2025, "and simply wanted a different one." In response to the weight he gained following his parents' divorce, he added, "There was just a period where, coming out of depression and isolation, I was jumping wilfully into, but also being thrust into, this world where the more conventionally beautiful I seemed, the more successful I might be, the more value I might have." Despite the mental struggles, though, Penn credited his ability to persist to his spirituality. "That is what allowed me to persevere through the disillusionment, all the things I'd been grappling with," he explained, "and then come back to it all, but with hopefully some kind of inner transformation." John Salangsang/ShutterstockEliza CoupeThe Scrubs alum has been vocal about her past difficult relationship with food. "Some may call it an eating disorder, I just call it my life," she said on the The Funny Thing Is podcast. "My drug of choice was always food. I did crazy s--t with it." She added, "I would over-exercise, and there was a sprinkle of bulimia in there." Though she has confessed her struggles with her diet, she has also shared her progress with her health and fitness goals. "When I was 23, I cut all sugar out of my diet, quit drinking, and found yoga and breathing and stretching," she told Bon Appétit in 2017. "That's the best Ritalin you could give anyone." She continued, "I'm an actress with food issues and body image issues-that's real. But I'
