During the second episode of ‘Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,’ Blanchard opened up about her sexuality and her time in prison.
In an episode of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard opened up about her sexuality and insecurities regarding intimacy.
While speaking about spending the night with her husband Ryan Scott Anderson for the first time after her prison release in December 2023, Blanchard opened up about how she felt beforehand.
“A big part of womanhood is learning to be comfortable with their sexuality and for years I wasn’t,” Blanchard, now 32, said during the episode. “I’m self-conscious because I have scars all over my body, and I had a lot of surgeries that were unnecessary so I’m like, ‘Am I gonna be what he wants me to be? Am I attractive to him?’”
Later, she added, “For a long time, I actually kind of questioned my sexuality because as a teenage or preteen, I felt that I was attracted to girls and I got to experiment with that in prison. I think I’ve kissed more girls than I have guys. I had such big fears that [I wasn’t] going to like sex.”
Blanchard spent nearly eight years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in connection with her mother Dee Dee Blanchard’s death. She was the victim of Munchausen by proxy at the hands of her mother for years and was forced to have numerous unnecessary surgeries. Blanchard and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn plotted to kill Dee Dee in 2015.
When Blanchard was released from prison, she was married to Anderson, but three months afterward in March 2024, the pair separated.
The following month, Blanchard met up with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker, and in May 2024, she confirmed that she and Urker were back together.
New episodes of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up air every Monday night at 9 p.m. ET.
