Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s friend, Nadiya Vizier, revealed in a recent interview that Gypsy locked herself in her bathroom in Louisiana while her estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, banged on the door late at night. Vizier alleged that Anderson screamed to be let in, causing Gypsy to fear for her safety. Gypsy called a relative to pick her up and also called her lawyer for help, as she was afraid Anderson was going to hit her.
After the incident, Gypsy reportedly left Anderson and traveled to her father’s house in Cut Off, Louisiana. News of their separation broke on March 29, after less than two years of marriage. Gypsy shared on her private Facebook account that she has the support of her family and friends as she navigates this difficult time and finds herself.
Gypsy and Anderson first connected in 2020 when he sent her a letter in prison. They got married in a jailhouse ceremony in 2022. Gypsy was released from prison in December 2023 after serving time for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Dee Dee had abused Gypsy, leading her to plead guilty to second-degree murder. Gypsy was granted parole in September 2023 before being released in December.
The story of Gypsy and Dee Dee Blanchard has been the subject of numerous TV shows and movies, including HBO’s Mommy Dead and Dearest and Hulu’s The Act. Since announcing her separation from Anderson, Gypsy has been seen spending time with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker, who has clarified that they are just friends and have not engaged in any romantic or intimate relationship. The separation from Anderson has led Gypsy to reevaluate her life and take the time to discover herself.
