Gypsy Rose Blanchard has had enough.
The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star called out her ex-husband Ryan Anderson this week after the special education teacher reportedly shared their private messages online, per People. Anderson recently posted a TikTok with texts he claimed were sent from his ex in January admitting how she felt "lost" and "[didn't] know what is real anymore." He captioned the post, "I speak the Truth...always have. Only be real..."
On Monday (May 5), Blanchard shared her own video to TikTok directly addressing Anderson and how she reached out because of the trust she had in him, noting that she had welcomed her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker a couple weeks prior and was navigating the intense emotions that come with her life drastically changing.
"I reached out to you when I was two weeks postpartum and I didn't know how to handle my emotions. I'd just had a baby, my literal whole life changed in an instant," she said. "I don't regret having Aurora, she's the best thing that ever happened to me. But, I leaned on you.. because I trust you."
She added, "Whenever you put out text messages between you and I that I think are sacred... When I mean sacred, I mean that, there are very few people I trust in this world. I have always counted you as one of them."
Blanchard said her messages were not mean to hurt him and that she "vented" to Anderson as she struggled with feeling "distant" from Urker in the weeks after their daughter's birth.
"I told you everything that was on my heart and in my head," she said. "I thought that that was gonna stay between us, did I tell Ken? Eventually I did, but I never aimed to hurt you."
Blanchard claimed that "the real Ryan Anderson" and the personality he shows online are "completely different people" and that the behavior he portrays on TikTok is "not the man that I married."
Blanchard said she has now come to the realization that they can't keep in contact anymore, even while he will "always have a place in my heart."
"I just want the best for your. I want you to be happy. I want you to move on. I want you to move on with someone that's going to make you happy, that's going to love you like you should be loved," she said, adding, "I always said Ken is my love, but you were my comfort. You were my safe place because I knew that you would never hurt me. And I'm just tired of this war and I want it to end."
Blanchard and Anderson got married in July 2022 while she was still in prison serving time for her role in the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard. They remained together following her December 2023 release until March, when she announced they had called it quits. She later reconnected with Urker, who she was engaged to prior to her relationship with Anderson, and the pair welcomed daughter Aurora in December 2024 on the anniversary of her release from prison.
