Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has sparked outrage after appearing to joke about her mother's murder in a viral TikTok trend. The 34-year-old, who served eight years in prison for her role in the 2015 killing of her mother Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, took part in the 'We Listen, and We Don't Judge' challenge with influencer Natalie Reynolds.
In the video, Blanchard said: 'We listen and we don't judge: I went to prison for eight and a half years because I ...' before making a choking noise and an 'X' symbol with her arms, adding '... my own mom.' Reynolds acted shocked, and Blanchard reminded her: 'Hey, we listen, and we don't judge.'
Viewers were quick to criticise the clip. One commented: 'Man this is not funny this is just bad.' Another wrote: 'She said it too casually.' A third remarked: 'Gypsy rose WTF???' while a fourth quipped: 'We listen and we call the judge.' Another viewer noted the 'lack of remorse here is wild.'
Blanchard pleaded guilty in 2016 to conspiring to kill her mother with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, who was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing Dee Dee to death. Dee Dee allegedly suffered from factitious disorder imposed on another, forcing Gypsy to pretend to be disabled and chronically ill.
Since her release, Blanchard has married and separated from Ryan Scott Anderson, and reconnected with ex-fiancé Ken Urker, with whom she welcomed a daughter in December 2024. She recently denied claims that Child Protective Services had been called to check on her child.
