Pretty hypnotic, sometimes strange, and always interesting. How has Meow Wolf evolved over the past decade? SANTA FE, N.M.

Bunnie Xo‘s been open with fans about her past as a high-end sex worker. Many fans also know that the money she made from that job allowed her to help Jelly Roll get custody of his daughter Bailee, including furnishing him with a place to live.

But how much exactly did she make during her sex work career?
The podcast host and popular social media personality didn’t provide an exact number, but she did share a pretty impressive ballpark figure during a sit-down with Nightline host Juju Chang in an episode that aired this week.
Bunnie says that her top-earning nights could rake in upwards of $100,000.
“Definitely six figures. Yeah,” Bunnie replied when asked about her biggest payout during those years. “I had a few of those, actually.”
When Chang pressed her, asking if the payments were really “north of $100,000,” Bunnie hesitated slightly, then replied, “More.”
During that interview, Bunnie shared her path to sex work. She grew up in Las Vegas, and explained that it was pretty common for little girls like her to grow up and want to be a showgirl.
“When you can’t make it being a showgirl, what happens? You end up becoming a stripper,” she continued.

While at the strip club, she said, she started to experience clients who offered her money in exchange for sex work.
“Your moral compass waves, because you get so exhausted being groped every night by different men, when you could just go see one man for, you know, 20 minutes, and then go home for the night and cuddle up in bed,” Bunnie continued.
Bunnie Xo maintained her sex work career after meeting and marrying Jelly Roll. In her new book, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, she describes how she even booked clients on the road while she was on tour with Jelly.

She has explained how keeping her sex work career helped her feel independent, and she faced anxiety about maintaining an income through any other means.
Bunnie left sex work for good on March 6, 2023, when she shut down her adult content website. By then, she’d been slowly downscaling her work in the industry for some years, and had moved to only providing sex work online.
A year later, she marked the anniversary with a Facebook post where she opened up about how scary it was for her to say goodbye to the industry.

“I was SO scared to let go of that part of my life & leave behind the money I was making – wasn’t sure how I’d make up that part of my business,” Bunnie reflected. “But I had faith & let God have it & he made sure I got it all back 10 fold.”
Since then, Bunnie’s podcast has skyrocketed in popularity, as has her husband’s country music career.
Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, never shy away from public displays of affection. The pair have shared numerous photos together sneaking kisses or engaged in deep belly laughs. Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo married in 2016 and are closer than ever today.
The company posted a quarterly profit of $2.04 billion, up from $1.79 billion a year earlier.

Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby has been the talk of the NFL trade market after the team’s handling of his knee injury reportedly caused tension. While he has not formally requested a trade and the Raiders have not definitively made it clear they wish to deal him, there is an obvious market for one of the league’s most disruptive defenders and plenty for Las Vegas to be had in return.
The trade buzz stems from the Raiders shutting Crosby down for the final two games of the 2025 campaign due to a torn meniscus. Crosby argued that he was healthy enough to play and sought to finish the season despite the Raiders having nothing left to fight for as the last-place team in the AFC West.
Then-coach Pete Carroll said he excused Crosby from the team facility after the star pass rusher expressed frustration over the decision, leading Crosby to evaluate his future with the Raiders.
The relationship is clearly frayed, and if the Raiders view Crosby’s situation as untenable, they will have numerous potential trade partners. And while Crosby is the kind of star around which a team can build, Las Vegas may be deep enough in a rebuild that it is inclined to move him in exchange for draft capital.
Crosby, a former fourth-round pick, just completed his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl season and is a two-time league leader in tackles for loss. He has never recorded fewer than seven sacks in a season and peaked in 2023 with 14.5. That reliable, high-end output has teams lining up to bid for his services.
With less than a week until the start of the new league year, it is shaping up to be a three-team race for Crosby. Suitors might have to pay up to get him, though. The Raiders have plenty of leverage, and according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, teams believe they want a package similar to what the Dallas Cowboys received last summer in the Micah Parsons trade. That means potentially multiple first-round draft picks in exchange for their star 28-year-old.
General manager John Spytek could be inclined to hold onto Crosby for as long as possible, especially since he is under contract through 2029, but the momentum seems to be pushing toward a breakup.

One team that just opened up cap space and could be in play for a Crosby acquisition is the Chicago Bears, who suddenly have money to spend after trading DJ Moore and seeing Drew Dalman surprisingly announce his retirement.
The Cowboys could also be in play as they search for a Parsons replacement. They stunned the NFL when they moved on from Parsons, and they paid the expected price as their defense floundered without the superstar wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
Might the Philadelphia Eagles also be interested? Star tackle Lane Johnson has his eyes on Crosby, at least.
Bears coach Ben Johnson made it known at the NFL combine that he wants to upgrade his pass rush. While they lost one trade chip already in the DJ Moore deal, if the Bears can construct a worthy package for Crosby, their defense could be in excellent shape heading into 2026. This is a unit that led the NFL in takeaways last season, and increased pressure up front might mask any losses Chicago takes in the secondary with numerous starters set to become free agents.
There is an obvious hole in the Cowboys’ pass rush after Jerry Jones traded Micah Parsons away. The asking price for Crosby may require Jones to part ways with the draft picks he acquired from that deal, but if that is the cost of improving a defense that allowed a league-worst 30.1 points per game last year, it is one Dallas should probably consider paying. Bringing aboard an established star would be an excellent first step toward bolstering a unit that needs serious help in all three levels.
The Eagles’ defense could be in for an overhaul with myriad starters poised to become free agents. Among them is edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, who is no guarantee to return after joining Philadelphia as a half-season rental. Crosby would be a long-term replacement and the instant leader of a pass rush that would benefit from a true No. 1 weapon.
A federal contractor accused of stealing $46 million in cryptocurrency was arrested in the Caribbean, the FBI announced.
John Daghita was nabbed Wednesday night by law enforcement on the island of Saint Martin, FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media. Photos posted online by the FBI and Saint Martin police show Daghita, who allegedly stole the crypto from the U.S Marshals Service, being taken away in handcuffs with a swimming pool seen in the background. A separate photo posted by law enforcement shows a suitcase full of cash.
The photos show the suitcase surrounded by computer flash drives and a passport. Patel said that the operation was conducted in cooperation with the International Cooperation Team Serious Crime Unit of the French Gendarmerie National in Saint Martin, and the Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale of Guadeloupe.
It is unclear how Daghita accessed digital currency.
“FBI will continue working 24/7 with our international partners to track down, apprehend, and bring to justice those who attempt to defraud American taxpayers—no matter where they try to hide,” Patel said.

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is expected to make his 2025-26 NBA season debut against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night at TD Garden, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Thursday.
Tatum, whose return comes less than 10 months after tearing his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks, has been described as ready to go, sources told ESPN, and he is expected to inform the Celtics of his final decision ahead of Friday’s action.
He has diligently been working on trying to play this season since he suffered the devastating injury against the Knicks. He had surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery by Dr. Martin O’Malley less than 24 hours after the injury occurred.
Tatum, who turned 28 on Tuesday, is a six-time All-Star, five-time All-NBA selection — including four consecutive first teams from 2022-25 — and a two-time Olympic gold medal winner. The potential for his return has been an ongoing storyline all season — one that’s only been heightened by Boston’s success this season.
The Celtics, led by longtime co-star Jaylen Brown, who is in the thick of the MVP race, are in second place in the Eastern Conference standings entering Friday’s action and are on pace for yet another 50-win season. They’ve received strong contributions from fellow 2024 title veterans Derrick White and Payton Pritchard and impressive growth from young players like center Neemias Queta and wings Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman and rookie Hugo Gonzalez.
It’s all validated the approach of coach Joe Mazzulla since the preseason, when he shot down any notion of this being a “gap year” for the Celtics with Tatum hurt and several veterans having left the franchise last summer — Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday via trade, and Al Horford and Luke Kornet via free agency.
“I may have to coach completely differently than the year before,” Mazzulla told ESPN in October. “In years past, you had an older, more experienced roster, four or five All-Stars on the team together. So your process is different.”
Now, the process for Boston will be focused on getting Tatum back into the mix and back up to speed after nearly a year away from the court. It’s safe to assume he’ll start out on some sort of minutes limit as he works his way back, but Boston plays its next 12 games without any back-to-backs on the docket — the next one is March 29 and 30. That should allow him a chance to get some consistent reps on the court and gradually build himself up ahead of a playoff push in which the Celtics will once again be seen as a favorite to emerge from the Eastern Conference.
Cologne Cathedral, a famous German landmark and popular tourist draw, will start charging an admission fee to visitors as church officials struggle with rising maintenance costs
BERLIN — Cologne Cathedral, a famous German landmark and popular tourist draw, will start charging an admission fee to visitors as church officials struggle with rising maintenance costs.
The Catholic cathedral’s chapter announced Thursday that it will start charging the fee in the second half of this year, but didn’t specify how high it will be.
The twin-spired Catholic cathedral towers over Cologne’s main railway station, next to the Rhine River, and dominates the city skyline. Construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1248 and was completed in 1880. It was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1996.
The cathedral gets around 6 million visitors per year.
Inflation and rising personnel costs have led to a constant increase in the price of the upkeep of the building, the cathedral chapter said. The cathedral plans spending this year of around 16 million euros ($18.6 million).
At the same time, reserves that have been used to plug financing gaps in recent years have largely dried up, in part because fee-paying visits to the cathedral’s towers and treasury couldn’t take place for long periods during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Church officials have made savings, for instance by not replacing workers who leave the cathedral architect’s office, but they said the measures taken so far can’t fix the problem in the long term.
People entering the cathedral to attend services and for prayer in some areas will be exempted from the new admission fee.
