Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s TikTok Joke About Mother’s Killing Draws Heavy Criticism

The backlash reflects renewed scrutiny of a case that sent her to prison for nearly eight years before her 2023 parole.

Overview

  • In a video with influencer Natalie Reynolds using the “We listen, and we don’t judge” trend, Blanchard mentions serving eight and a half years for her mother’s death and delivers the trend’s catchphrase.
  • The clip quickly spread across social platforms, with many commenters condemning the tone as inappropriate given the seriousness of the case.
  • Some viewers characterized the remark as a confession and urged a retrial or a review of the case, though no official legal action has been reported.
  • Blanchard previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, received a 10-year sentence, served nearly eight years, and was released on parole in December 2023.
  • Nicholas Godejohn, who carried out the killing, is serving a life sentence, and Blanchard’s public statements since release have drawn ongoing scrutiny on social media.
