Gypsy Sisters stars Nettie Stanley, Mellie Stanley, Kayla Williams, and Laura Johnston have come to be known as “The Stanley Sisters,” and they even had a one-hour special by that title on TLC after their initial appearance on My Big Fat America Gypsy Wedding. But, despite what their nickname might imply, these four gals are not sisters at all — something that has caused a little bit of confusion for those tuning in to Gypsy Sisters in its inaugural season.

Though reality television is chock full of eyebrow raising shenanigans, few can compare to the jaw-dropping and headline-grabbing antics of Gypsy Sisters star Mellie Stanley.

So what was it that caused her to be the way she is? A huge part is her amazingly unstable life that has included watching her mother get arrested when Mellie was just 13, followed by hopping around between relatives and foster care before ending up in two different abusive marriages as a teenager.

Viewers of TLC’s new reality series Gypsy Sisters might be surprised to find out that “Hellie Mellie” Stanley isn’t the most notorious of the Stanley ladies — not by a long shot.
