They’re the breakout stars of TLC’s My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, which concludes its first season Sunday.
Now West Virginia’s Stanley sisters — Nettie, Laura, Kayla and wild, wild gypsy girl Mellie — have scored an upcoming special of their own.
In My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding: The Stanley Sisters, premiering July 1 at 9/8CT, we find the Stanley women caught up in multiple family dramas.
Mellie has found an even more brazen way to thumb her nose at gypsy conventions by dancing in a local strip joint, so Nettie takes matters into her own hands and shows up to make a spectacle of her wayward little sister. But an even greater crisis brings the family back together — Nettie’s 14-year-old daughter runs off with her 17-year-old boyfriend, so the Stanley women launch a take-no-prisoners plan to get the child back.
Immediately following The Stanley Sisters at 10/9CT, TLC answers American Gypsy Wedding fans’ prayers by bringing back some of its most outspoken cast members in a reunion special called The Aftermath.
