Gypsy Rose Blanchard admits that constant media attention is damaging her mental health.
Since her release from prison in late 2023, Blanchard has made headlines for her interviews, social media drama, separation from husband Ryan Anderson, and the start of a romance with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker. It’s no surprise that she is struggling mentally because of the attention.
While appearing on the panel at the Lifetime: Conversations on Controversies FYC event on Wednesday, May 1, Gypsy Rose Blanchard spoke about excessive media attention.
“I’m very much an interview,” Blanchard told moderator Janine Rubenstein of PEOPLE. “And then when I came out and this media storm hit me, and I was… At first, I was really touched by the positivity that people were showing me. And then when social media started and like it always does, it became negative. “It started to have a negative effect on my mental health.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard said she was so overwhelmed by the attention she received that she decided to take a step back from the Internet. That’s why she decided to delete her public social media accounts.
“But recently I got back into it,” he noted of his return to social media. “If you have learned, don’t read comments. I mean, I’m just trying to live my life the best way I can. And like I said, that will include mistakes, but I learned from them.”

Meanwhile, Gypsy Rose Blanchard reflected on the most important lesson she’s learned since leaving prison.
“To take your time,” he explained. “As I think too often, I also get excited about my new freedom, so I think I rush through things, I want to concentrate everything, so I’m learning to take my time.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard also shared that she is doing very well in terms of adjusting to her life outside of prison. “These last four months have been full of challenges and ups and downs, but that’s life, right? So I’m just enjoying it.”
Blanchard served most of his 10-year sentence before being granted parole last fall. She was charged with second-degree murder in the killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy conspired with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, who carried out the murder.
Godejohn is currently serving a life sentence.
