Gypsy Rose Blanchard is no longer behind bars and TMZ has the first look at her prison pickup … featuring her husband and a camera crew documenting her every move.
The famous felon was freed on parole early Thursday, and when she departed Chillicothe Correctional Center in Chillicothe, MO she was greeted by a familiar face … her hubby, Ryan Scott Anderson.
Gypsy wanted to keep media away from the prison, and she left in a car … but she’s not shying away from Ryan’s camera guy. After all, she’s the subject of an upcoming Lifetime doc.
Ryan, a teacher from Louisiana who married Gypsy in prison last year, captured his wife’s first taste of freedom after her 7 years behind bars … and then he and the photog went back to their hotel a few hours later, without Gypsy.
As we first told you, Gypsy’s release was super secretive … media and fans weren’t allowed on the premises, and the parking lot was off limits too.
Ryan and his photog had the golden ticket though … his car stood out in the empty parking lot, and not just because of the personalized ‘Hitman’ license plate — a tribute to the famous WWE wrestler.

Gypsy’s homecoming has been eagerly anticipated … remember, she was was sentenced to a decade behind bars back in 2016 being convicted in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard — who was accused of forcing Gypsy to pretend to be disabled for years.
Gypsy’s then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, admitted to murdering Dee Dee in 2015 to help GRB escape her mother’s clutches — and he’s still serving a life sentence.
As we reported … Gypsy was granted parole in September, and her release on Thursday comes 3 years before her original release date.
Gypsy’s case captured the nation’s attention and spawned an HBO doc and a Hulu series … though her story will now be told in her own words thanks to the new 3-part doc, “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.” Hence the camera crew here.
Set to debut in early 2024, the doc will chronicle Gypsy and Ryan’s prison wedding … while also highlighting the early days of her post-prison life … including a trip to see the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs in hopes of meeting Taylor Swift!
