Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic - A Memoir of Addiction, Survival, and Rising From the Dust

Redemption doesn’t come gift-wrapped.

It doesn’t knock politely or wait until you feel ready. It arrives after something else leaves: your pride, your illusions, your denial. This is a story about starting in the dust and deciding to rise anyway.

From the trailer parks of Las Vegas to the polished marble floors of Nashville mansions, Alisa DeFord, known to millions as Bunnie Xo, has lived through addiction, heartbreak, survival, reinvention, and success. But this isn’t a fairy tale. It’s not polished or pretty. It’s stripped down.

Written with raw honesty and zero apology, Stripped Down takes you behind the filters, the fame, and the headlines to the real story: the lowest lows, the hard-won lessons, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life from the ground up.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• A fearless account of addiction and the long road to recovery
• The truth about fame, reinvention, and life in the public eye
• How heartbreak and hardship can become the foundation for a stronger self
• Why real transformation begins when the pretending ends

If you’ve ever had to start over, fought a battle no one saw, or wondered whether you could rise from rock bottom, this book is for you.

No filters. No excuses. No apologies.

Stripped Down is proof that you can lose everything, face the truth, and still choose to rise.
