Get out your motor oil and Swarovski crystals because reality television’s most infamous reality show Romanichals are back! TLC announced today that their popular series Gypsy Sisters will be returning for a second season in December, with original cast members Nettie Stanley, Kayla Williams, and of course Mellie Stanley returning for Round Two. Laura Johnston isn’t coming back, but filling her bedazzled cut-off shirt and jeans shorts are THREE MORE family firecrackers in the form of Mellie and Nettie’s sister JoAnn Wells, Kayla’s sister Annie Johnston Williams, and Kayla’s cousin Sheena. Keep reading for photos of the new cast as well as some of the over-the-top antics viewers can expect to see this season, including what TLC describes as “one of the most outrageous and violent brawls in reality television history.”
Mellie Stanley shocked views of Gypsy Sisters when she revealed she was expecting a baby. Now a new mother, Mellie has settled in surprisingly well. Meet her handsome gypsy son…
The first season of TLC’s Gypsy Sisters was chock full of jaw-dropping drama and antics, but not even the prison release of Lottie Mae after nine years or a hot pink and leopard print wedding dress could compare with the Earth-shattering news… Mellie Stanley is pregnant! Keep reading to get the latest updates on Mellie’s pregnancy, including lots of new baby bump photos and sonogram images as well as the new name she has picked out for her son!
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. So, I’ve gone through the trouble of putting together the Gypsy Sisters Stanley family tree that explains just how the four main characters are related!
On the premiere season of TLC’s drama-packed reality series Gypsy Sisters the family hierarchy gets turned on its ear when Mellie and sister Nettie’s mom Lottie Mae Stanley is released from prison after serving nine years for a 2004 bank fraud conviction. Mellie seems to make the adjustment as well as Mellie makes any sort of adjustment, but matriarch Nettie seems to have a hard time adjusting back to the way things were more than a decade ago. And speaking of the ways things were more than a decade ago, keep reading to check out photos of a young Lottie Mae, including one with Nettie as a young child!
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. She drinks, she strips, she fights, and she ALWAYS says exactly what’s on her mind. Even among her outspoken Gypsy Sisters cast mates Mellie stands apart with her unpredictability and volatility. 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.
In the back-to-back premiere episodes of Gypsy Sisters Mellie Stanley’s ex Robbie reenters the picture and the two become engaged, but only after Robbie insists Mellie give up some of her wild ways — including her job stripping. But, it appears that Robbie has some wild and carefree ways of his own! Keep reading for a couple of his mug shots from 2011 when he faced charges that include robbery, assault and abduction!
If you watched the season premiere of TLC’s Gypsy Sisters then you saw the bombshell revelation that Mellie’s getting married! That’s right, Mellie Stanley and her man Robbie are planning to walk down the aisle and we all know what that means… it’s another big fat American gypsy wedding y’all! And not just any big fat American gypsy wedding, this is “Hellie Mellie” Stanley we’re talking about! Keep reading to see photos of Mellie’s unforgettable wedding dress, and find out how she and Robbie are doing now!
The series premiere of TLC’s new My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding spin-off series Gypsy Sisters was only three days ago and it seems we already have casting news for Season 2! Laura Johnston’s sister-in-law and someone claiming to be her husband Gus announced on Facebook that she will not be returning to the show. “I do not want her filming no more,” Gus wrote before adding that his wife is “not going to continue with them nuts with TLC.”
My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding fans may have noticed some changes to Mellie Stanley during last night’s series premiere of MBFAGW spin-off Gypsy Sisters. No, Mellie is still drinking, stripping, cursing, fighting, and otherwise not holding anything back — nothing different there. The changes I’m talking about were only skin deep in the form of lots of new tattoos!
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. This season she reunites with her mother, 61-year-old Lottie Mae Stanley, who has just completed a nine-year prison sentence after being convicted of bank fraud in 2004. The conviction came after a string of cons spread out over at least 11 states that had federal authorities looking for Lottie for more than six years, and even landed her a starring role on America’s Most Wanted in March of 2003! Keep reading for Lottie’s extensive criminal history that apparently included using Mellie (then 13) to scam banks for more than $800,000!
Sunday night on TLC television viewers will get to see the return of West Virginia’s resident gypsy hellion Mellie Stanley as she and the rest of the “Stanley sisters” deliver two hours of Romany drama during the series premiere of Gypsy Sisters. Judging from the preview trailer, it looks to be one hell of a ride as Nettie, Kayla and Laura hop on board the Mellie Express! But, the trailer also foreshadows perhaps the only event that could derail the inevitable trainwreck by hinting that… Mellie Stanley is pregnant?!? Keep reading to find out if it’s true, although I should probably warn you that the post comes with a serious SPOILER ALERT!
Before the February 10 premiere of Gypsy Sisters, let it be known that advice from the ladies should be taken with a grain of salt. Case in point: During the season premiere, Kayla recommends slathering on motor oil for an extra deep sun tan. So, is using motor oil as tanning lotion really a good idea? (I don’t think we need to ask that question about using actual bleach to whiten your teeth.)
Check out photos and bios for the gals from TLC’s latest guilty pleasure offering, Gypsy Sisters! “Wild child Mellie Stanley, best known for her stripping and violent temper on My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, returns with her meddling sister Nettie, cousin Kayla and loveable Laura for a raucous look at life as gyspies in the wilds of West Virginia. Premieres Sunday, Feb. 10 9|8c.” You know you want to watch!
The dramatic episode of Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding featuring the infamous catfight between show star Mellie Stanley and Diamond was such a ratings bonanza for TLC and the Americanized version of the popular reality series that the network brought the “Stanley sisters” back for an hour-long follow-up special. But apparently that wasn’t enough to satisfy the American television viewing audience’s hunger for Gypsy drama, over-the-top weddings, and teenagers dressed in very little, very shiny clothing because TLC is not only bringing Mellie, Nettie, Kayla and Laura back again, they’re giving the Stanley sisters their own series! Keep reading for the deets and the preview trailer and reality television’s soon-to-be latest breakout superstar, Mellie.
