Why Gypsy Rose Blanchard is struggling with her mental health after prison release

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been having a hard time since being released from prison four months ago.

The “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup” star, 32, confessed to People at a panel Wednesday that all of the backlash she’s received online has had a “negative effect” on her mental health.

“I’m very much an introvert,” she explained, “and so coming out and this media storm hit me … At first, I really, really was touched by the positivity that people were showing me.

“And then as social media began and how it always does, it turned negative. It started to have a negative effect on my mental health.”

In March, Blanchard deleted all of her public profiles, saying at the time that “social media is literally a doorway to hell,” adding, “It’s so crazy. I can’t even wrap my head around what social media is.”

The “Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard” star also claimed that she did not want to “live under a microscope.”

However, a source previously told People that Blanchard — who served eight years in prison for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, following years of abuse due to Munchausen by proxy — deleted her profiles “at the advisement of her parole officer, so she won’t get in trouble and go back to jail.”

Since then, the ex-con has returned to TikTok, boasting an impressive following of 9.7 million people, and has been conducting the rounds in the press to promote her new Lifetime series.

Gypsy explained at the panel how she’s coping with her newfound fame, saying, “I just recently got back into it with having learned don’t read comments.

“So I mean, I’m just trying to live my life in the best way that I can. And like I said, that’s going to include missteps, but I learned from them.”

Aside from the pressures of social media, Gypsy is also going through a divorce. In March, she announced she was separating from her husband, Ryan Anderson, after one year of marriage.

The former couple tied the knot in July 2022, while Gypsy was still incarcerated, and called it quits after just three months of living together out in the real world.

Since the split, more details have come out about what allegedly led to the demise of their marriage.

Gypsy and Anderson reportedly had a blowout fight once, in which she feared he would hit her — leading her to file for a restraining order.

The Lifetime star reportedly also argued with her then-spouse over his alleged food hoarding and snoring.

Anderson has said he has not been doing well since the separation, but Gypsy, for her part, appears in better spirits, rekindling her romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker and getting a nose job.

She confirmed to People Wednesday that she is now “doing very well,” and concluded, “These last four months has been met with challenges and ups and downs, but that’s life, right? So I’m just enjoying it.”
