Description
***The INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!***
From the trailer parks of Vegas to the mansions of Nashville, Bunnie Xo has lived a lot of lives and seen the darkest sides of humanity. Her memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, is cold, clear evidence that no one is irredeemable. With a heavy dose of humor and a refreshing sense of self-awareness, Bunnie pulls no punches as she shares her journey of redemption while offering some homespun wisdom to those who need a little saving themselves.
Alisa DeFord, known to her millions of fans as Bunnie Xo, started at the bottom and spent the first part of her life falling even deeper. Now, Bunnie Xo is one of today’s most successful podcasters and has paved her way through the entertainment industry as the owner of Dumb Blonde Productions, building an empire with heart and personality at the forefront.
Stripped Down is the story of how Bunnie Xo rose to the top, how she used her own wiles to reach her goals, how she knew redemption was up to her—and that no one could hand it to her—and a message to anyone who needs advice on breaking their own cycles.
Hilarious, earnest, thought-provoking, and occasionally downright shocking, Stripped Down is a modern-day rag-to-riches story and a message of hope to anyone struggling to redeem themselves.

Stripped Down
5By Pad123gamerWow, I’m not sure I slept while reading this book…. This ladies life is something out of a nightmare. I can not conceive of a parent treating a child like this let alone multiple parent figures. I’m amazed she didn’t manage to kill herself somewhere along the way. I truly believe she has an angel on her shoulder. I bought this because I love her husbands music and am moved by it… now I’m moved by her…. I hope you achieve everything you both want and believe in because you two have touched many hearts. Bless you. Keep smiling and always be true to yourself and listen to your self…. You’re one in a million.EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!
5By JoBeanyI feel like this book was released when our world is in straight chaos and I feel reading about Bunnies life a lot of it was straight chaos a lot of the time. But if you could take anything from this book is that you can walk through hell fire and still have the capacity to love, to love yourself and to love other people. And honestly, that is the one thing this world could use a lot more of right now. Thank you Bunny XO for sharing your story with us. In the last few sentences of this book and in the acknowledgments, I literally started bawling. This is not fiction. It’s not made up and the fact that Bunnie gives you all the feels in her written word says a lot about her writing and I think it’s just wonderful.I’m so glad I read this book !

5By Shelby Lynn cThank you, Bunnie, for sharing your story with the world. The world needs more of this. Your story proves that you can be anyone you want to be and overcome anything.

You are an inspiration now to many people who are trying to find their way. Please keep on being you. Your fans love you 💗AMAZING
5By skylee slatteryThis book made me FEEL. Best book I’ve ever read by far.What a roller coaster of a emotions in a book
5By Alexandria MGAs a millennial, I related to so many things, occurrences and emotions. It took me right back to my teenager years , feeling like I was in my besties passenger seat, feeling invincible all over again, through it all. But, now as a wife and mom - all I wanted to do was grab her and hold her in my arms and never let go. Honestly, most times shaking the pages and yelling NOOO at 3am as if she could hear me, but my baby definitely did. (Sorry kid lol). The girls who went through childhoods of survival, understand all too well, the emotions behind her words without a declaration, explanation or description. It goes without being said for a feeling all too familiar to us. It gave me a sense of appreciation for womanhood. The stride in our steps that we drive home. Alisa, if you are reading this - I love you. You should be so proud of who you’ve become, what you’ve accomplished and where you’re going. You did it all on your own with no guidance, lending hand or tool book to show you. Stars glimmer in the night sky rather the ones around them acknowledge it or not. They’re still there, shining. You’re a star baby. Keep on beaming through the dark. God bless you and your family, alwaysLOVED IT!

5By Michelle joyellLove love this book. Bunny did an amazing job of telling her story in this book. She had me hooked it the very first few sentences and made me not want to put it down until I finished the last sentence. She deserves all the credit in this one no wonder why it at #1!!!!Life can be cruel.
