In a newly uploaded video, Ryan Anderson is speaking out for the first time since Gypsy Rose made the separation announcement.
“Hey everybody. I just wanted to thank ya’ll for the support and the nice messages I’ve been getting from people,” Ryan began in his video. The special education teacher went on to say how he’s watching Wrestlemania which is “great” because he has been a “wrestling nerd for a long time.”

‘You Will See What Really Happened’
But then came the cryptic message. “Ya’ll will see what really happened on Lifetime,” he said. “We were filming a lot, so stay tuned for that.” Ryan was seemingly indicating that the reports of their last fight and the accusations made against him are not true.
According to Gypsy’s friend, who spoke to People, on the night before Gypsy left, the two got into a fight where Gypsy ended up locking herself in a bathroom. Ryan reportedly banged on the door late at night, screaming, “Let me in! Let me in!” leaving the 32-year-old scared for her life.
That is when she says she knew their two-year marriage needed to end.

“He got in her face and screamed,” her close friend and tattoo artist Nadiya Vizier. “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.”

As you know, Gypsy served seven of her ten-year sentence for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy is believed to be a victim of Munchausen by proxy, as her mother claimed her daughter had various illnesses and disorders, convincing doctors to prescribe her medication.
Some of the medical diagnoses that Dee Dee claimed Gypsy had received included asthma, epilepsy, vision impairments, hearing impairments, and being paralyzed from the waist down — none of which Gypsy actually had. Gypsy was released on parole on December 28, 2023.
Shortly after Gypsy Rose was released from prison, Ryan spoke to People, telling them that “Gypsy and I have always been very open and honest with each other.”

“Even honesty to a fault. Gypsy wants to be so honest that she’ll say things that hurt my feelings and vice versa. But that’s one of the things I think that makes us stronger is that we are willing to lay it all out on the table. But also, one thing I love about us is after an argument, it’s done,” he added. “We hold no resentment.”
