Gypsy Rose Blanchard has advice for the Menendez brothers if they get released from prison
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is weighing in on the Menendez brothers’ case.Blanchard, 33, spoke to TMZ at LAX on Sunday and shared her advice for Erik and Lyle Menendez who may finally be getting out of prison almost 30 years after they were convicted of killing their parents.“It’s very difficult to come out to a world that has changed so much even in the time that I spent,” said Blanchard, who served seven years in prison for the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.“Reaclamating is a difficult thing,” she added.“I would say take your time, you know, adjust properly, and get therapy because you need it in this kind of world [and] day and age.”In 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, though she got out early in December 2023.Her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, stabbed her mom to death in her Springfield, Missouri home in 2015.
Dee Dee had Munchausen by proxy syndrome and subjected Blanchard to years of child abuse.After getting out of prison, Blanchard was thrust in the spotlight as her documentaries “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard” and “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up” both aired on Lifetime.In July, she announced that she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker.The couple rekindled their romance after Blanchard split from husband Ryan Anderson three months after she got out of jail.The Menendez brothers, meanwhile, murdered their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989 and were sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1996.They argued in their trial that they were sexually abused by their parents and killed them out of self-defense — but the jury still found them guilty.Following the success of Ryan Murphy’s Netflix show “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” district attorney George Gascon announced that new evidence of sexual abuse against the siblings is being reviewed.
