Gypsy Rose Blanchard Apologizes For Joking About Her Mom's Death On TikTok
HuffPost
The 34-year-old said she hoped to "take accountability for the wrongs that [I’ve] done" by including a reference to her mom's 2015 killing in a viral TikTok clip.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is addressing the backlash she’s receiving after appearing to flippantly reference the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, in a TikTok video.
In an interview with TMZ published Monday, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who went to prison after convincing a boyfriend to kill her abusive mother, said her aim was to “take accountability for the wrongs that [I’ve] done” when she teamed up with influencer Natalie Reynolds for a “We Listen and We Don’t Judge” challenge video.
“I do deeply apologize to anyone who may have been offended by it. That was never my intention,” she said. “I was not laughing about it. I don’t think it’s funny to joke about a heavy topic and my past.”
She went on to note: “I am trying to be my authentic self, and if my authentic self is saying, ‘I did something bad in my past, but look at where I am now,’ that’s where I’m coming from with it. But I would never joke about my past.”
Participants in the viral “We Listen and We Don’t Judge” challenge are asked to put a positive or lighthearted spin on difficult life moments.
