There have been many cited reasons why Gypsy Rose Blanchard divorced her husband, Ryan Anderson. However, it was recently revealed that she left him over food hoarding.
Gypsy Rose originally announced their separation in March — just three months after her release from prison. In a private Facebook statement, she stated:
“People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou.”
“I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”
Just a few days later, Gypsy was spotted with her ex-fiance Ken Urker. In fact, the two were caught getting matching tattoos and smoking outside of a convenience store.
Ryan Anderson Shocked By Split with Gypsy
For Ryan, the split seemingly “came out of the blue,” he told Daily Mail.
He also stated that he was shocked that Gypsy was spending time with her ex.
“I had no idea she still had such strong feelings for him,” he said. “I just don’t know what’s going on … “I’m at a loss. I’m not really doing well at all.”
However, according to a close friend of hers, Gypsy felt unsafe during a fight between her and Ryan.
“He got in her face and screamed,” said Nadiya Vizier, Gypsy’s friend. “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. Ryan is a big guy, and she told me it was really scary.”
Now, it seems there’s another reason Gypsy decided to cut things off.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Left Husband Over Food Hoarding
According to TMZ, “Sources close to Gypsy Rose tell TMZ … she wasn’t fully aware of Ryan’s hoarding issues regarding food before moving in with him after her release from prison. We’re told this caused tension for the couple in the 2-bedroom apartment they shared.”
Allegedly, Ryan collected and hoarded food items, which didn’t sit right with Gypsy — especially since the act reminded her of her mother. When she went to throw away old food from the fridge, it sparked a major fight — the very one Vizier referenced above.
This is just one of the main reasons Gypsy decided to part ways with her husband of nearly two years.
