'Good for her': Gypsy Rose Blanchard staying at $150/night hotel with husband after release, says report
CHILLICOTHE, MISSOURI: Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison on Thursday, December 28, after serving eight years for the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddinnea 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
Photos obtained by various outlets captured Blanchard’s first steps of freedom as she left the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri with her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, per RadarOnline.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard's first stop after release was getting a good night's rest
The couple was spotted departing a Fairfield Inn & Suites in Chillicothe on Thursday afternoon, indicating Blanchard’s first stop after release was getting a good night's rest in a hotel room.
Sources estimate the standard double queen room costs approximately $150 per night before taxes. For their special occasion, the couple may have opted to upgrade to a king suite for $169.
Either accommodation is a significant upgrade from prison lodging. Regardless of the room type, Blanchard likely relished the simple luxuries of a comfortable bed, privacy, and time alone with her husband after tying the knot in July of 2022.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard expressed enthusiasm about her plans going forward
Blanchard expressed enthusiasm about her plans going forward when approached by media outlets outside the hotel. “Lots of them!” she responded with a smile when asked what was next, though she declined to offer specifics.
Photos captured later in the day showed Blanchard trying on sneakers at a local shoe store, emerging with at least one new pair. Her husband was also photographed carrying an additional shopping bag.
Along with everyday essentials, reports say Blanchard hopes to attend a Kansas City Chiefs football game and meet pop star Taylor Swift. She is also participating in an upcoming Lifetime documentary series about her adjustment to post-prison life.
Internet reacts to Gypsy Rose Blanchard's hotel respite
Upon learning of Blanchard's hotel respite, the internet displayed a spectrum of emotions. One Facebook user expressed relief, stating, "I’m glad she got out! Now we can let her live in peace and not take photos of her buying shoes or speculate on how much she spent on her hotel room."
Another echoed this sentiment, saying, "Leave that girl alone. It's nobody's business but hers where she sleeps."
A third voice pleaded for her privacy and normalcy, emphasizing her right to a life unencumbered by past traumas: "Leave her alone. Allow her to live a normal life. Something her mother denied her. Please don't exploit her like her mother did. Not even for money. She needs time to adjust to who she is, out of prisons, her mom's, and the penitentiary, or things could get bad for her mentally. She needs time to adjust to living with this husband without interference also."
Meanwhile, another online supporter simply remarked, "Good for her."
Additionally, a user weighed in on the cost of the hotel stay, juxtaposing it with the importance of granting Gypsy her peace: "These days that isn't too bad for a hotel. Leave her alone, let her start living her life without being bullied or tortured. Jeeze."
