Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Breaks Down Over the Idea of Having To Explain Her Past to Her Daughter
When it comes to confessions, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has a pretty big one to make. That's because the new mom once spent a few years behind bars for her role in the murder of her mother, DeeDee Blanchard. A fact that Blanchard recently broke down in tears over, after she realized that some day she'd need to share all of the messy details from that part of her life with her new little girl. Related: Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Shares Update About Her Daughter Aurora According to People magazine, Blanchard laid her fears bare during a recent episode of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup. During an update about how hard the early days were with her newborn daughter Aurora, the new mom began to reflect on how she would eventually go about explaining her relationship with her notorious mother, who manipulated the 33-year-old for entire life. 'I know the things that I'm responsible for, such as feeding her and changing her. But also like, while you guys were on lunch, I had another breakdown," the new mom confessed as tears began to well in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I just, I'm putting all of this effort in. And I have been hit with the question, 'How are you going to tell your daughter about what you did?'" Blanchard managed to say through tears. "And I just want to know that she's going to love me and forgive me for what I did in my past. I just don't want that to cloud her mind and her end up hating me." Once she was able to calm down a little bit, she shared her hope that her daughter would eventually be able to forgive her for how she handled being a victim of Munchausen by proxy. 'And I'm not a monster. And I don't want her to grow up thinking that I'm one," the new mom continued. "You hear about families that have deep dark secrets and they have skeletons in their closet and their kids disown them and hate them, growing up resenting them. And I just don't want that to be the case for us." Unfortunately for Blanchard, this family secret isn't exactly a secret. The story made headlines across the country when the news came out about her mother's murder, and there were many movies and television shows made about what went on in the days leading up to the crime, including how big of a role Blanchard played in her mother's death. On the flip side, Blanchard also has the truth on her side. And being able to show her daughter what she went through, and what the courts had to say about her involvement, may help her to share her story. For now, the new mama has plenty of time to figure things out while she enjoys getting to know her little girl. Up Next:

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard stuns with 25lbs weight loss transformation and new lifestyle following prison release
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has shared a glimpse into her weight loss journey, revealing she has lost 25 pounds since her release from prison. The reality TV personality posted a before-and-after image on Instagram on 13 April, documenting her physical transformation for her growing fan base. The star of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup appeared in two photos side by side. The first showed her at a red carpet event in a black dress, while the second, taken more recently, featured Blanchard in a white top and jeans posing in front of a mirror. The caption read: 'My 25lbs weight loss.' Fans filled the comments with messages of encouragement, with responses such as '"Amazing. Strong. Ready to take on the world. How did you do it & how long did it take you,' and 'It's honestly insane how much weight can change a person". Others appeared more skeptical about transformation with comments like, "Is it sustainable or just another short-term achievement in a cycle of dieting?" and, "You look taller too? Did you get your knees done?". Blanchard responded to the comments by sharing more about her approach to health. She wrote, 'I've seen a lot of comments of people asking how I lost the weight, so my weight loss journey started once getting out of prison. When I started eating healthier instead of prison food, the weight began to fall off. I started eating twice a day and smaller portions.' Blanchard, who gave birth to her daughter Aurora in December 2024, has been increasingly open about her post-prison life, including changes to her appearance and daily habits.

What Is Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Net Worth? How She Makes Money After Being Released From Prison
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has reportedly earned a high net worth despite her controversial past. She shot to true crime infamy in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for plotting to kill her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn. Although she claimed she'd committed the shocking crime after suffering years of manipulation and abuse at the hands of her late mother, Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years behind bars. She only served roughly eight years and was granted parole in 2023. Gypsy has since made a name for herself on social media and on reality television as she continues to shed light on her traumatic childhood, her prison time and how she's chosen to move forward with her life. Gypsy has an estimated net worth of $3 million, according to Marca. Gypsy has generated a wide array of income sources since becoming a free woman, from brand sponsorships and published works to television and podcast appearances. After amassing millions of followers across various social media platforms, a financial expert claimed the mother of one — who shares daughter Aurora Raina Urker with boyfriend Ken Urker — could earn up to $100,000 for every paid post and has many other options for income online as well, according to the New York Post. 'With a community that engaged … Blanchard could be making millions this year,' Fanmade CEO Olivia Rudensky said in January 2024. 'She has such a unique built-in audience that wants to hear more and wants more answers, which obviously turns into money. The Internet loves buying meme merch. People are watching her every move … There's so many different content deals at play.' In March 2024, Gypsy deleted her public social media to live a more private life. However, later that year, she returned to TikTok and Instagram. Gypsy has also made a number of documentary and reality television appearances, including HBO's Mommy Dead and Dearest in 2017 and Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, which is set to air season 2 in March 2025. It is unclear exactly how much money Gypsy made from both series. Gypsy published her e-book, Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom, in January 2024. Her memoir, My Time to Stand, hit shelves in December 2024. It is unknown how much she's earned in book deals and sales. In 2019, Hulu released a fictionalized television series based on events from Gypsy's childhood. The show starred Joey King as Gypsy, Patricia Arquette as Dee Dee and Calum Worthy as Nick. However, Hulu did not pay her for the rights to her story. In her e-book, she admitted she was not "consulted or compensated" for the show while she was behind bars, and said that it even caused corrections officers to look at her "differently" after it aired.

EXCLUSIVE: How Gypsy Rose Blanchard's short marriage prepared her for relationship now
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is navigating life out of prison — and doing so in front of the camera. In an interview with ahead of the second season of her Lifetime show "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup," Blanchard explains how one romantic relationship helped prepare her for another. Blanchard married Louisiana teacher Ryan Scott Anderson in 2022 while she was in prison. They were together through 2024, when she rekindled a relationship with Ken Urker, to whom she was previously engaged. She and Urker now have a daughter. 'My marriage with Ryan taught me a lot about myself and showed me that I had a lot to learn about relationships and marriage,' she said. 'There was something that Ryan had said in Season 1: 'Life is not a fairy tale, and it will have its challenges.'" EXCLUSIVE: Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker were engaged then broke up. Why she says it's working now Blanchard said Anderson's words resonated and she applies them to her current relationship with Urker. 'I didn't understand that at the time, but after everything I went through, I apply that to my relationship with Ken. We will have bad days, but you can't judge the whole relationship on one argument. You have to push through," she continues. Blanchard served seven years for her role in the murder of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. Blanchard is thought to be a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder in which a caretaker claims someone needs care or medical treatment who doesn't, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Blanchard was released from prison in December 2023 at the age of 32. Nicholas Godejohn, who carried out the murder, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole after first pleading not guilty. Anderson picked her up from prison, he recalled in a interview in 2023 and he appeared in the first season of "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup." By mid-2024, they were in the midst of a divorce and Blanchard was back with Urker. Anderson told last June that he was "blindsided" by how quickly their relationship ended. 'I'm just experiencing things as they come. I'm still in reflection and processing mode,' he said. 'A lot has happened. It's hard to wrap my head around a lot of things that have happened because I mean, when I say I'm blindsided, I really am blindsided about how fast things progressed.' The second season of "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up" premieres March 10 on Lifetime, and will follow Blanchard as she faces the challenges of divorce, public scrutiny and rebuilding relationships while preparing for the arrival of her first child.
