Gypsy Rose Blanchard Filter On TikTok Creates Viral Controversy

A new filter is going viral on TikTok, mocking Gypsy Rose Blanchard's lazy eye.

In Lifetime's documentary "Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard," Kristy Blanchard, Gypsy's stepmom, revealed that by the time Gypsy was just a year old, she was already struggling with sleep apnea and had developed an "extremely lazy eye."

While she has addressed her lazy eye, claiming that some days it is worse than others, social media users are still making fun of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

The newest filter is quite disturbing, to say the least.

Utilizing advanced AI technology, the filter generates a lazy eye, mimicking one of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's known physical conditions. Many are using this filter to imitate the ex-convict, sparking some buzz across social media.

Some are standing up for Gypsy, arguing that this mocks her traumatic past, while others claim it’s just harmless fun.

On one of the videos, a social media user admitted, "I’m mad at myself… cause I just laughed."

"This isn't right but so funny," another said.

"It’s literally just a TikTok sound and filter people are running so wild with this," the user who created the video responded.

"No, they did not," one individual wrote.

Gypsy Rose has yet to address the filter.

As The Blast reported, Gypsy Rose endured years of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee.

Dee Dee not only forced Gypsy to undergo countless unnecessary medical treatments and procedures but also kept her on a strict schedule of medications. Gypsy's pediatrician, Dr. Rob Steele, who began treating Gypsy in 2005 when she was 14 years old, said that throughout his care, Dee Dee Blanchard could "never show" Gypsy's previous medical records. Reflecting on the situation, he remarked, "If I could have seen [the records] earlier on, I just think a lot of things would have been different."

After Gypsy Rose realized what her mother was doing, she felt the only way out was to kill her mom, something that was carried out with the help of her the-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn. Gypsy was sentenced to ten years in prison and was released on parole in December 2023.

She has gone through therapy and self-reflection to cope and move on with her life following the years of abuse she endured and the co-conspiracy of murdering her mother.

Shortly after being released from prison, the now 32-year-old sat down with People Magazine where she expressed her regret for the decision to kill her mom.

"Whenever someone says, 'Do you think that because of what you went through, you're going to do that to your kids?' I say, 'You know what? Absolutely not.'" Gypsy told the outlet. "I have learned what not to do. I have no concerns about my parenting when it comes to that."

"If I had another chance to redo everything, I don’t know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I’m not sick and mommy makes me sick," she said. "Or, if I would travel back to just the point of that conversation with Nick [Godejohn] and tell him, ‘You know what, I’m going to go tell the police everything.’ I kind of struggle with that.”

Along with the medications Dee Dee said were for cancer, she also had doctors prescribe painkillers like Vicodin for Gypsy, which Gypsy took after those unnecessary surgeries.

“Nobody knows that I even had an addiction before prison, let alone in prison,” Gypsy revealed in her Lifetime docuseries, "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard."

“The doctors had prescribed me pain medication after the surgery,” she added. “But when the pain medication ran out, I was still in pain and my mother had a prescription for Vicodin."
