Gypsy Rose Blanchard Banned from TikTok After Controversial Video About Mother's Murder
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was banned from TikTok after posting a video that appeared to joke about her mother's murder. The post sparked widespread outrage and mass reporting from users. Blanchard tells TMZ the ban isn't what it seems and blames haters for targeting her account.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison in 2023 after serving time for her role in her mother's murder, has been banned from TikTok following a controversial video post.
The viral TikTok featured Blanchard using a trending audio clip to reference her troubled past, including her role in her mother's death. Users across the platform accused her of making light of the murder, leading to sharp criticism and mass reporting of her account.
Blanchard told TMZ that the ban resulted from coordinated reporting by haters, not actual policy violations. However, Reddit users on the GRBsnark community suggest she was banned from TikTok's creator program and is staying quiet to avoid admitting fault.
Blanchard gained national attention for her case involving Munchausen syndrome by proxy, where her mother Dee Dee Blanchard faked her illnesses for years. Gypsy Rose and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn killed Dee Dee in 2015.
Since her release, Blanchard has built a significant social media following but has faced ongoing criticism for monetizing her story.
This shows how social media platforms handle controversial content from high-profile users. It also highlights ongoing debates about whether people convicted of serious crimes should profit from their notoriety online.
Watch for TikTok's response and whether Blanchard's account will be reinstated or if she'll move to other platforms.
