Baylen Dupree, TikTok’s reigning duchess of authenticity (and surprise outbursts), is upgrading her viral vibes to prime time with a shiny new TLC series, Baylen Out Loud! That’s right, your favorite 22-year-old from West Virginia is ready to tic, talk, and triumph her way onto your TV screens.
With 9.5 million TikTok followers cheering her on (and probably refreshing her page right now), Baylen has been hilariously and honestly documenting her life with Tourette Syndrome. And now, thanks to TLC, she’s bringing her journey to the big leagues. Watch out Kardashians, there’s a new reality queen in town.
From TikTok to TLC: Baylen Means Business (and Tics)
The president of TLC, Howard Lee—who’s clearly been scrolling his For You page—couldn’t contain his excitement. “Baylen’s realness and humor struck us right away,” he gushed in a statement. Translation: she’s funny, fierce, and fabulous, and TLC wants in on the action. Howard went on to praise Baylen for smashing stereotypes about Tourette Syndrome like a boss and showing the world what unfiltered honesty looks like.
At TLC, they’re calling her story “the perfect blend of heart and mission.” We’re calling it must-see TV.
What’s the Deal with Baylen Out Loud*?
Here’s the scoop: each episode gives you a front-row seat to Baylen’s life as she juggles vocal and motor tics while chasing her dreams of adulting like a pro. Spoiler alert: it’s no cakewalk, but with a squad like hers, she’s unstoppable.
Let’s meet the team:
– Colin, the devoted boyfriend who’s basically boyfriend goals.
– Allen, the overprotective dad who’s probably this close to getting his own spinoff.
– Julie, the no-nonsense mom who can handle anything (probably even your mom’s group chat).
– And five siblings, who are probably the reason Baylen has perfected the art of staying unbothered.
Together, they’re helping Baylen embrace her tics, her truth, and her TikTok-worthy dance moves.
What to Expect? All the Feels and All the LOLs.
Each week, Baylen will step out of her comfort zone and dive headfirst into the wild, wonderful chaos of adulthood. From navigating her condition to building a future with Colin (we’re rooting for you, lovebirds!), she’s on a mission to prove that Tourette Syndrome might be a part of her story, but it’s not the headline.
In short, Baylen is done hiding and ready to live life out loud—tics and all. Expect plenty of laughs, some tears (because TLC never misses a chance to hit us in the feels), and moments that’ll have you shouting, “Same, Baylen, same.”
Mark Your Calendars!
Baylen Out Loud premieres Monday, January 13th at 9 PM ET/PT on TLC. It’s like TikTok, but longer, louder, and way more dramatic. Don’t miss it—and maybe keep some tissues nearby, just in case.
Check out the trailer and prepare to fall in love with Baylen all over again. She’s loud, proud, and ready to prove that life is better when you embrace the chaos.
