“Hey, we listen, and we don’t judge!” These words from Gypsy Rose Blanchard have sparked a firestorm of backlash following her recent TikTok video that seemingly trivializes the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
Gypsy Rose, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the second-degree murder of her mother, was released in December 2023 after serving 8.5 years. Since her release, she has been navigating life as a mother to her daughter, Aurora, who celebrated her first birthday with a Ms. Rachel themed party.
However, the recent TikTok video has overshadowed these personal milestones. Critics have expressed outrage, stating, “there’s absolutely nothing funny in this, this is actually so freaking wrong” and “nothing funny about this at all…” The comments reflect a growing sentiment that Gypsy Rose’s actions are inappropriate given the circumstances surrounding her mother’s death.
Gypsy Rose’s mother, Dee Dee, was a controversial figure in her own right, known for her abusive behavior towards Gypsy, which ultimately led to the tragic events of 2016. Gypsy Rose’s involvement in her mother’s death has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and public debate.
In the wake of the TikTok incident, social media users have been vocal, with many stating, “That wasn’t cute nor funny smh”. The backlash has raised questions about Gypsy Rose’s understanding of the gravity of her past and the impact of her actions on her public image.
As Gypsy Rose continues to adjust to life outside of prison, the implications of her recent behavior could affect her relationship with her followers and the public. The incident serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding her story and the ongoing discussions about mental health and trauma.
With the controversy still unfolding, many are left wondering how Gypsy Rose will respond to the criticism and what steps she might take to address the backlash. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any official statements or future actions she may pursue.
