Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her husband Ryan Scott Anderson are to divorce after two years of marriage. She announces the separation on her verified account on Facebook, according to People.
“People have asked what’s going on in my life. Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents at home down by the bay. I have the support of my family and friends to help me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am”she wrote in a statement on her Facebook, according to People.
”Yeah I said it, the D is fire”
The couple had a prison wedding in July 2022. At the time, Blanchard said she was excited to move in with Anderson and start their life together.
– I have never lived with a man. I grew up with a mom, so I didn’t even grow up with a dad in the house. I don’t even know what it’s like to live with a man, she said, according to People.
The divorce comes as a shock on social media. As recently as January, she paid tribute to her husband – or more specifically, how he was in bed. ”Yeah I said it, the D is fire”, she wrote in a fit to his more intimate parts on Tiktok, according to People.
The news comes three months after she was released after eight years in prison for plotting the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, with then-boyfriend Nicholas “Nick” Godejohn, writes People.
Munchausen syndrome victim by proxy
Dee Dee Blanchard was found dead in June 2015.
After Gypsy Rose and her then-boyfriend Godejohn were arrested, it was discovered that Dee Dee subjected Gypsy to unnecessary medical treatments. The mother convinced her daughter and others that her daughter had a variety of illnesses as a child, writes People.
In court, it was claimed that Gypsy was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a form of child abuse in which a guardian exaggerates or induces illness to gain sympathy, writes People.
Gypsy pleaded guilty in 2016 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Godejohn was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2019 after being convicted at trial of first-degree murder, People writes.
