Now in the fifth season of <em>The Kardashians<\/em>\u2014the documentary-style series that shifts away from chronicling their day-to-day lives and further positions the matriarchy as business moguls\u2014the family are proving how widespread their network reaches by featuring Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

(Photo by Gotham\/GC Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a victim of Factitious disorder imposed on another\u2014formerly, and more commonly, known as Munchausen-by-proxy\u2014who was convicted of second-degree murder after killing her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Blanchard was sentenced to prison where she served eight years before eventually being paroled in December 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Blanchard alleged that she was medically, emotionally and physically abused by her mother after she spent the entirety of her childhood and early adulthood infantilising her and fabricating a multitude of illnesses. Blanchard was forced to undergo multiple unnecessary procedures, including the insertion of a feeding tube and removal of salivary glands, coerced into taking medication and was predominantly wheelchair-bound. Blanchard claims she was treated as a disabled child by her mother\u2014despite the fact she was not sick nor ever needed medical intervention\u2014in an attempt to garner sympathy and financial gain.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Blanchard conspired with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to murder Dee Dee so she could escape the abuse, an act she vehemently regrets. Blanchard case is well known to true crime aficionados but became more prominent in the cultural zeitgeist after the fictionalised adaption of the murder in the television series <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/hulus-new-true-crime-series-starring-joey-king-and-patricia-arquette-will-captivate-you\/\"><em>The Act<\/em><\/a> starring <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/joey-king-wedding\/\">Joey King<\/a> as Gypsy Rose and Patricia Arquette as Dee Dee. Upon her release from prison, Blanchard garnered millions of followers on TikTok and became the fixation of internet stan culture, with many flagrantly dubbing her their proverbial \u2018mother\u2019.<\/p>\n<h5>Why Is Gypsy Rose Blanchard On <em>The Kardashians<\/em>?<\/h5>\n<p>So, how did Gypsy Rose Blanchard come to befriend Kim Kardashian and earn a guest spot on their show? The most glaring connection is Kardashian\u2019s interest and advocacy in prison reform. Kardashian first acknowledged Blanchard\u2019s case in November 2023 after the former trainee lawyer promoted her 2017 documentary, <em>Mommy Dead and Dearest<\/em>, in her list of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/true-crime-documentaries-to-stream\/\">must-see true-crime series<\/a>. Blanchard returned the favour by tweeting Kardashian, suggesting they should \u201cunite forces together to make real change within the justice system\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to sources, Blanchard intended to meet with Kardashian and \u201cpick her brain\u201d. \u201cGypsy thinks Kim could provide guidance on how to navigate her newfound platform on social media, and use her voice to affect real change and advance her advocacy work,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2024\/01\/03\/gypsy-rose-kim-kardashian-prison-reform-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>TMZ<\/em><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p>The subject of their conversation won\u2019t be apparent until the episode is broadcast, but Blanchard has thanked Kardashian for their discussion. &#8220;Surprise!\u201d she said, sharing the snippet of their encounter. \u201cThis was such an honour to talk about prison reform with Kim K. She is a lovely person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Kardashians<\/em> is available to stream on Disney+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42674,"featured_media":91428,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Who Is Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
