Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up

Catch up on everything Gypsy has been through in the 1-hour special, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up: The Unseen Footage, airing before the season 2 premiere. In the special, Blanchard looks back on her first year of freedom through never-before-seen footage and faces up to the events of the past year with her eye towards her future.

With the world watching in anticipation, and her family eagerly awaiting a reunion, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is released from prison after serving eight and a half years for her role in the murder of her mother. In her first 12 hours of freedom, Gypsy is chased by paparazzi, threatened with a parole violation if she doesn’t leave the state of Missouri immediately, and reveals whether she has consummated her marriage. Gypsy’s first taste of freedom leaves her fearful of going back to prison.

Fearing a violation of her probation, Gypsy works to resolve issues with her parole officer. Ryan questions Kristy's motivations when he learns she's been in contact with Gypsy's ex-fiance, Ken. Gypsy settles into her new life in Lake Charles, but having been dependent on her mother her entire existence, she worries about what she can contribute to her marriage with Ryan. Rod and Gypsy share a father-daughter moment three decades in the making.

During a whirlwind trip to New York City, Gypsy Rose comes face to face with her newfound celebrity status, but quickly starts to question if she's cut out for the spotlight. As the outpouring of love on social media suddenly gives way to hateful DMs and death threats, Gypsy tries to tune out the noise and focus instead on her journey towards self-acceptance and planning a wedding reception with Ryan.

After an emotional separation from her husband Ryan and an impulsive reconnection with Ken, her ex-fiancé, Gypsy Rose Blanchard finds herself unexpectedly expecting just six months after her release from prison. Due to parole restrictions, a pregnant Gypsy will have to navigate two households--one in New Orleans with boyfriend Ken who has moved to New Orleans to pursue his dream of having a family; and one with Rod and Kristy, down the Bayou. On her path to motherhood, Gypsy will contend with the increasingly volatile world of social media and the continuing fears of Ken leaving her. But the biggest challenge will be to prove to everyone else and herself that she is capable of breaking the cycle of abuse from her mother with her own baby girl.

With her divorce from Ryan ongoing, prepping for the baby, and Ken's upcoming move to a bigger house, Gypsy tries to manage her stress and keep her relationship with Ken on an even keel.

As Gypsy continues to struggle with the daily online hate she faces, she decides to brave hundreds of people in real life at a public speaking engagement; she's reminded that she may never escape the reason that she's in the spotlight, her crime.
