Why Did This Guard Leave the Jelly Roll Concert? —What Bunnie XO Did Next Shocked Everyone

A North Dakota security guard recently went viral after quitting his job rather than make a Jelly Roll fan move his wheelchair behind a barrier during a concert. Social media users heaped praise on the man, with one remarking, “I know this would be Bunnie Xo approved.”

Apparently they were correct, as the country singer’s wife reached out on the original post looking to contact the security guard.

Bunnie Xo Responds to Post About Security Guard

Two days after TikTok user Michelle Mulligan posted footage of the incident, a familiar name appeared in the comments.

“Hiii, do we kno [sic] how to get ahold of this security guard?” Bunnie Xo wrote.

Social media being what it is, TikTok users had tracked down the man’s identity in a day. His name is Tony Demaree, and his family members are apparently in the process of connecting him with Bunnie.

“that’s why I always start with tagging Bunny [sic],” remarked one user. “She looks out for the little guys when Jelly is busy.

Others praised the Dumb Blonde podcast host and her husband for always taking care of their fans. “I love that no matter how huge you guys have gotten, you’ve never forgotten where your [sic] from,” gushed one TikTok user. “I have nothing but the utmost respect for the both of you.”

Why Did He Quit?

According to footage shared by TikTok user Michelle Mulligan, a man in a wheelchair moved in front of a barricade to get a better view during Jelly Roll’s July 20 set at the North Dakota State Fair.

The situation heated up when a supervisor walked over and told the nearby security guard to make the man move behind the gate. “the security guard told him no and his boss said he was fired so he took off his vest and threw it at him, and told him he quit,” Mulligan wrote. “was the coolest thing besides getting to actually see Jelly again! he deserves so much more than that!”

Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll have a history of performing good deeds for their fans. Hopefully, they’re able to connect with the security guard willing to lose his job rather than disrupt the fan’s experience.
