Ryan Anderson and Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s legal battle
Ryan Anderson, 37, filed for a restraining order against his ex-wife Gypsy Rose Blanchard, 32, on Thursday, per court records obtained by People. It came days after Blanchard filed both a restraining order and a divorce on April 8 Monday.
The ex-couple’s legal feud has taken center stage within two years of marriage. In addition to divorce, Blanchard is also seeking interim and final spousal support citing Anderson “is at fault in the dissolution of the marriage.” Only three months after Blanchard’s release from the Chillicothe Correctional Facility, she and Anderson separated in March.
Furthermore, the Mommy Dead and Dearest subject also requested the court that her estranged husband should not be issued any support. The court has determined the ruling to be held on May 23, 2024.
Blanchard and Anderson exchanged vows in a private prison ceremony in Livingston County, Missouri, on July 21, 2022. They got married while serving time in prison for her felonies. Blanchard was charged with second-degree murder for killing her mother Clauddine ‘DeeDee’ Blanchard in 2015.
She alleged that her mother had abused her for years as a victim of the mental illness Munchausen by proxy. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Gypsy Rose was released after serving only eight years.
How did Gypsy Rose and Ryan Anderson meet?
Speaking in an exclusive People interview, Blanchard and Anderson reflected on their first meeting before their prison release in December 2023. Anderson was encouraged to write a letter to the famous Blanchard following his co-worker’s interest in Tiger King’s Joseph Allen Maldonado a.k.a Joe Exotic, in 2020. “Tiger King was really popular at the time. I said, 'I'll tell you what. If you write him, I'll write Gypsy Rose Blanchard.' I never thought she'd be my wife,” Anderson recalled.
Blanchard was subject to significant fame after her story was spotlighted in documentaries like 2017’s Mommy Dead and Dearest, 2018’s Gypsy’s Revenge, and 2024’s The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Even the Emmy-winning drama, The Act, starring Joey King was based on Blanchard’s gory reality.
Blanchard’s father, Rod was not convinced by her daughter’s marriage plans and remarked that she “can be spontaneous and make a quick decision and just jump into things without thinking." He speculated a “50/50 chance” of Blanchard and Anderson’s marriage working out.
As conjectured by Blanchard’s father, she announced her separation from Anderson in a statement on her Facebook handle in March. She revealed that she had moved in with her parents and needed “time” to reflect on herself.
