(Los Angeles, Calif.) - Today, TLC announced BAYLEN OUT LOUD, a new series featuring Baylen Dupree, a vibrant and resilient 22-year-old with Tourette Syndrome. Every day, Baylen faces a variety of extreme and uncontrollable vocal and motor tics while navigating the challenges of becoming an independent adult. Supported by her loving family in West Virginia, including her five siblings, devoted boyfriend, Colin, protective father, Allen, and strong and independent mother, Julie, Baylen learns to manage the complexities of Tourette and embrace life fully. BAYLEN OUT LOUD premieres Monday, January 13 at 9/8c on TLC.
"Baylen's realness and humor struck us right away," said Howard Lee, President, TLC and Discovery Networks. "Her fearless honesty about living with Tourette Syndrome not only busts stereotypes but also builds bridges of understanding. At TLC, we stay committed to showcasing stories that resonate deeply with our audience, and Baylen's journey is the perfect blend of heart and mission."
Baylen's tics began as involuntary movements and noises and intensified in her teenage years. Officially diagnosed with Tourette at the age of 18, Baylen has learned to laugh at herself through it all. With humor, heart, and unstoppable determination, Baylen started sharing her candid and light-hearted experiences on social media. Now with 9.5 million followers on TikTok, Baylen has garnered a loyal audience who admires her openness in sharing how she leverages the power of positivity and her strong relationships to navigate life's challenges.
Each episode of BAYLEN OUT LOUDwill inspire audiences as they watch Baylen push herself outside her comfort zone in pursuit of the independent life she's always dreamed of, particularly as she strives to build a future with her boyfriend, Colin. After years of feeling self-conscious about her condition, Baylen is finally ready to live freely, embracing her authentic self and showing the world that Tourette doesn't define her. With the support of her family and friends, Baylen is ready to stretch her wings.
