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.
