Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is receiving a lot of backlash after a TikTok video showed her joking about the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard in 2015.
The video was part of a viral trend called “we listen, we don’t judge” and included a gesture and a comment that recalled the crime in which she was involved.
Many people on social media reacted angrily, saying it was wrong to make a joke about something so serious.
Although Blanchard’s past abuse is well known, viewers felt the video crossed a line and was insensitive.
Blanchard spent more than eight years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the case.
Her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, was also convicted and is serving a life sentence. She was released in December 2023.
The video sparked massive debate about how he talks about his past, with many thinking he is trying to take control of his story, while others feel he shouldn’t make light of a tragedy that affected so many lives.
This situation shows how quickly online content can upset people, especially when it involves real events that caused pain.
Many are closely watching how Blanchard responds to criticism and whether she will explain herself publicly.
