During the first episode of Lifetime’s “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,” there is a scene where Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s parole officer gets in contact with her and Ryan Anderson via cell phone, notifying them that they cannot attend the Kansas City Chiefs game as planned, and Gypsy has to leave Missouri for her new home in Louisiana.
During the phone call, Ryan was seen trying to grab the phone out of Gypsy’s hand and interrupt her several times while the P.O. was talking directly to Gypsy, who is out of prison on parole.
“I see why she left him,” one TikTok user commented. “Ryan, this first episode, you lost my vote too overbearing, controlling, and the cringy rubbing on her,” another said. “You could tell it made her uncomfortable.”
“Omg he’s so suffocating in this clip,” a third viewer wrote.

Months before the episode aired, a source claimed Ryan was controlling, jealous, and argumentative after Gypsy was released and began living together. According to TMZ, Gypsy also told friends and family that he constantly made her feel like she couldn’t do anything right and made her doubt herself.
“He got in her face and screamed,” her close friend and tattoo artist Nadiya Vizier told PEOPLE Magazine of one alleged incident. “Gypsy said that she was afraid he was going to hit her. He didn’t — but that happened in the past with her mother. So, her first instinct was to tighten up and be prepared.”
“But she got to safety and called her lawyer, too,” she added. “Ryan is a big guy, and she told me it was really scary.”
