Gypsy Rose Blanchard tells ET that she doesn't intend to live her life in the public eye for much longer.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard isn't interested in living the life of a celebrity. The 32-year-old formerly incarcerated reality star is preparing for the release of her new Lifetime docuseries, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, but shares with ET's Deidre Behar that she doesn't plan to be in the public eye forever.
"Oh, god, no," she tells ET. "I think everything has been very hyped up, and I've had wonderful opportunities, but I don't see those lasting, and I think there comes a time where I have to make a choice. And that is, when do I say enough is enough? And I think after so long of having my name in the spotlight, that time is coming really soon."
Gypsy went to prison for her involvement in the killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were convicted in 2016 for orchestrating the murder of Dee Dee, who had been manipulating her daughter's life and portraying her as terminally ill.
Gypsy Rose was released from prison in December 2023 after serving 85 percent of her sentence.
So what would returning to civilian life look like?
"Part of me is like, maybe I should just go work at McDonald's. I love those French fries!" she says. "I don't know. But I do like retail, too. Maybe something at the mall, like makeup or Sephora or something -- because I love makeup."
However, Gypsy Rose has a few limitations she'll have to contend with before getting a 9 to 5 job.
"When things calm down and I have no obligations, I do want to get a 9 to 5, but first I have to learn the things that get me there," she explains. "I'm still working on driving. I need to get my driver's license, as I've said before. So to get to a job I need to know how to drive."
As for why she wanted to showcase her post-prison life in the new series, Gypsy tells ET that she wants to change the public's perception of her.
"I wanted to show people that I could be more than what I was labeled," she says. "People have preconceived ideas of who I am, so let me break that mold and show them who I really am."
In the series, Gypsy Rose tackles her life in the world outside of prison, navigating her marriage to Ryan Anderson, whom she wed while in jail in 2022. From the trailer, it's clear that the couple's romance is fraught, and Gypsy eventually files for divorce.
She also rekindles her relationship with ex-fiancé Ken Urker, who is planning to relocate to Louisiana soon to be near her.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard: Life After Lockup debuts June 3 on Lifetime.
