What is Life After Lock Up about?
The new Lifetime docuseries will delve deeper into Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s life after she was released from prison on December 28, 2023. According to the official synopsis, Life After Lock Up is an “authentic, raw, and revealing look at Gypsy’s new life on the outside,” per USA Today.
It also explores her short-lived marriage with Ryan Anderson, a teacher from Lake Charles, Louisiana, and a following reconciliation with ex-fiance, Ken Urker. Speaking of her post-prison wisdom, Blanchard told People that the Gypsy in prison was someone “very lost and confused” whereas now, “she’s a little bit more wise, has a little bit more experience under her belt and is still very hopeful for the future.”.
Who is Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is an ex-convict who was sentenced to ten years in prison for plotting the murder of her mother, Claudine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn who is serving a life sentence. She was charged with second-degree murder and hence was released in December 2023 after serving seven years in prison.
Blanchard lived in Springfield, Missouri with her mother who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which made her the victim of Dee Dee’s abuse for most part of her life. The syndrome is a mental health disorder that involves gaining sympathy by presenting a child as sick with made-up illnesses.
Blanchard shot to fame after documentaries and TV shows about her experience and life story caught viewers’ attention. Joey King starred in the Emmy-winning Hulu drama, The Act which is based on Blanchard’s story. Likewise, the hit 2017 documentary, Mommy Dead and Dearest also cast the spotlight on Blanchard’s abuse. It also made it to Kim Kardashian’s must-watch crime shows list.
Blanchard’s partnership with Lifetime has simply vaulted Blanchard into a pop culture star. She is also set to guest star in Hulu’s wildly popular, The Kardashians, after Blanchard featured in a fleeting preview where Kim reaches her home to discuss their shared passion for prion reform, last month.
The next episode of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up will air on Monday, June 10 on Lifetime at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
