Baylen Out Loud is an American reality television series broadcast on TLC (with episodes streaming the day after through Max) that premiered on January 13, 2025. The show documents Baylen Dupree, a young woman navigating life with Tourette syndrome.[1] It features her parents, five siblings, and fiancé, Colin Dooley. Season two began airing on October 7, 2025.[2]
Background
In late 2020, Baylen Dupree began posting videos on TikTok depicting her life with Tourette syndrome, including her verbal tics, and gained millions of followers.[3] Dupree said she first began experiencing tics at age 6 or 7 and that they intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] At 17, she was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, and she is among the minority that experiences coprolalia, involuntary utterances of socially-inappropriate words.[5] She also has obsessive–compulsive disorder.[5] In 2022, as a pre-nursing student in her first year of studies at West Virginia University, she took her spring semester classes online due to the severity of her condition.[6] At the time of the show's premiere in 2025, Dupree had an audience of 10 million followers on TikTok as well as Instagram with 1.4 million followers.[7]
On December 3, 2024, TLC announced it had acquired the show.[8][9] The first season premiered January 13, 2025, depicting Baylen Dupree's life with verbal tics and features her family and then-boyfriend Colin Dooley, a member of the United States Air Force.[9] Dupree is depicted attending Tic Con in Dallas, Texas and getting engaged to Dooley (Dupree said that she and Dooley became engaged on September 9, 2024).[10][3][11] The season finale chronicles Dupree's move from her parents' home near Harper's Ferry, West Virginia to an apartment with Dooley, in Arlington, Virginia.[12]

Critical reception
Today wrote, "Dupree has plenty of fans, but she's also had to contend with her fair share of critics, including some who claim that she doesn't really have Tourette syndrome or that she fakes her tics. It's a topic she addressed in the second episode of Baylen Out Loud, saying: 'People have said that I'm faking Tourette for attention. Why would I do that? Would you want to live like this?'"[7]
Yahoo wrote, "Fans of Baylen are already familiar with the often-humorous outbursts caused by her tics, and Baylen Out Loud will give a more detailed view of what she and her family deal with as she handles living with Tourette syndrome."[13]
Collider wrote, "The moment I saw the TLC series premiere, I could tell Baylen Out Loud was unlike any other show I've watched, reality or otherwise."[14]
