Gypsy Rose Blanchard is drawing backlash after posting a video that some viewers say crosses a line. In the video, shared as part of the popular “We listen, and we don’t judge” trend with influencer Natalie Reynolds, Gypsy made light of her time in prison for her role in her mother’s murder.

During the clip, Gypsy casually mentions that she served eight and a half years for second-degree murder, referring to the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. While saying this Gypsy casually gestures around her neck, imitating an over-the-top cartoonish gesture for murder.

When Natalie feigns shock, Gypsy responds, “Hey, we listen, and we don’t judge.” The comment section, however, shows that many viewers are not laughing. One person wrote, “There’s absolutely nothing funny in this, this is actually so freaking wrong,” while another added, “What people do for views … so sad.”

The video later includes a bizarre confession unrelated to the crime, with Gypsy admitting, “I used to wipe my bottom with bath towels instead of toilet paper.”

For context, Gypsy Rose was at the center of a widely publicized case. She and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were involved in the 2015 killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Dee Dee had subjected Gypsy to years of abuse, including unnecessary medical treatments, under what experts later described as Munchausen by proxy. The shocking nature of the abuse drew international attention, and the case inspired the Hulu series The Act.

Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and served nearly eight years of a ten-year sentence. Godejohn, who physically carried out the murder, received a life sentence and remains in prison. Gypsy was released in December 2023 and has since been navigating her new life outside prison.

The latest TikTok shows that even years later, Gypsy’s life continues to attract scrutiny. Fans and critics alike are debating the appropriateness of her jokes about the crime that made her infamous.

This situation raises questions about the ethics of social media and how public figures handle sensitive or traumatic events from their past. Gypsy’s video has reignited conversations about accountability, fame, and the lingering effects of her complicated past.
