What does Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's life after lockup seem like after Gypsy-Rose Blanchard: Life After Lockup? Perhaps, a stint on Dancing With the Stars?
Season 33 contestant Tori Spelling thought it wasn't too farfetched an thought to recommend throughout a current dialog with Blanchard on her misSPELLING podcast.
"You've performed docuseries and a documentary," Spelling identified, noting the above-mentioned sequence, which Lifetime produced in 2024, a 12 months after Blanchard's parole from jail on a second-degree homicide cost. "However would you ever do a contest actuality present?"

Blanchard didn't dismiss the suggestion out of hand, however she did specific reservations.
"I imply, that's the factor: I really feel like I'm not gifted with something — I can't sing, I can't dance," she stated.
Spelling requested Blanchard's stepmother Kristy, who accompanied Gypsy-Rose to the interview, if it was true that Blanchard possessed completely no skills.
"She's received the character for dance, so she's received it," Kristy inspired.
"Yeah, I received character," Blanchard agreed.

Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years in jail in 2016 after she pled responsible to enjoying a task within the 2015 homicide of her mom, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. It was Gypsy-Rose's then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, who dedicated the crime, however Blanchard spent seven years in Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Heart for her half.
The explanations for her parole three years earlier than her sentence was fulfilled started to pile up instantly after her incarceration. Documentaries like HBO's 2017 Mommy Useless and Dearest and dramatizations like Hulu's 2019 restricted sequence The Act amplified what Blanchard testified to in her unique trial: a lifetime of bodily and emotional abuse by the hands of her mom that culminated in a grotesque homicide.

Shouting out one other of Blanchard's admirable qualities — her braveness — Kristy joked, "Look, she's not the best singer, okay? Neither am I. However she can be the one which's braver to do it."
Blanchard defined that she beforehand "by no means put myself on the market in that manner. I used to be all the time attempting to choose initiatives that centered on sharing my story." However whether or not or not Dancing With the Stars is one of the best subsequent step, Blanchard says she'd "do it simply to have enjoyable."
DWTS may not less than be a greater touchdown place for Blanchard than Spelling's different suggestion, The Masked Singer. The previous sequence has traditionally opened its doorways to paroled and exonerated convicts (and even these with time served), from fraudstress Anna Delvey (season 33), to rapper Lil' Kim (season 8) to Actual Housewife and tax evader Teresa Guidice (season 31). Although Delvey — who was eradicated first alongside Spelling final season — isn't the present's greatest booster, reflecting after her stint that her favourite reminiscence of the present was "getting eradicated."
