Is Love After Lockup cursed or what? Because honey, we are LIVING for this messy prison drama that just keeps on giving!
Let’s spill the tea, darling. Joshua Hyatt, the absolute chaos agent from Love After Lockup Season 3, just got handed a whopping 25-year prison sentence in January, and we are absolutely SHOOK. According to the Colorado Department of Corrections, this man won’t be tasting freedom until July 4, 2049 – and let’s be real, that’s basically forever in reality TV years. Talk about a plot twist nobody saw coming!
For those living under a rock, Josh is the ex of fellow Love After Lockup star Cheryl, and their relationship was literally a dumpster fire wrapped in a prison orange jumpsuit. We’re talking about the kind of relationship drama that makes even the most devoted reality TV addicts cringe-watch behind their fingers. But apparently, whatever landed him back behind bars was way more serious than just being a total trash fire on camera.
The fact that he’s facing over two and a half DECADES behind bars? That’s not petty reality TV beef – that’s legitimate criminal activity, sis. And honestly, the timing is absolutely *chef’s kiss* because the Love After Lockup fandom was already exhausted by their on-screen antics. Now they don’t have to watch it play out anymore because Josh will literally be locked up for the rest of his foreseeable life.
Twitter is absolutely having a FIELD DAY with this news. Fans are torn between feeling sorry for anyone involved and being absolutely cackling at the irony of a Love After Lockup star actually being locked up for real this time. One user tweeted, “The show should just follow him now because the title would finally be accurate,” and honestly? The accuracy is IMMACULATE.
Cheryl hasn’t publicly commented on her ex’s sentencing (thank god, because we honestly couldn’t handle any more dramatic Instagram posts), but you KNOW the Love After Lockup producers are already brainstorming how to milk this for maximum ratings. This franchise is unhinged and we are SO here for it.
What do you think? A) Josh deserves the consequences and reality TV needs less toxic men B) This is just another example of why Love After Lockup is peak trashy television entertainment
