Kim Kardashian It is Gypsy Rose Blanchard find out in this week’s episode of The Kardashians. Kim flew to Louisiana to meet with Gypsy Rose just three weeks after the previously incarcerated personality was released from prison.
After Gypsy Rose reached out to Kim about working with her on prison reform, the mother of four, who has publicly highlighted several cases in the area, agreed to meet.
Telling one of her associates that Gypsy Rose “could have a big impact in the fight against youth and abuse,” Kim happily greeted Gypsy Rose, saying she had been following her case for a long time.
“I wouldn’t want to go meet with someone who I felt could make an impact just for the sake of it,” Kim told Gypsy Rose. “I recognize that you can make a big difference because you can really articulate what you’ve been through and how you can overcome it.”
In turn, Gypsy Rose praised Kim, giving the reality star “huge kudos” for agreeing to meet with her.
“I think a lot of people are afraid to address my subject because I’m so controversial,” Gypsy Rose explained as Kim shot down the idea.
Gypsy Rose went to prison for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy Rose and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were convicted in 2016 of orchestrating the murder of Dee Dee, who was manipulating his daughter’s life and portraying her as terminally ill.
She was released from prison in December 2023 after serving 85% of her sentence.
“Now, looking back, I think, I could have done things a lot differently and it would have ended with my mom in jail. Did she deserve jail? Yes,” Gypsy Rose told Kim.
Kim agreed with Gypsy Rose that the situation was “very complicated,” while Gypsy Rose talked about the times she would listen to some of her mother’s favorite songs in prison and cry.
“Crying in prison, you’re so vulnerable, especially women, they’re such caddy,” Gypsy Rose shared. “The first thing they say is ‘Well, you killed her, so why are you crying about it?'”
In her confessional interview, Kim shared her feelings on the matter, saying, “I believe people should have a second chance at life and I take her whole history into consideration. It’s really crazy not to.”
After Kim said she thought Gypsy Rose was “very strong,” she responded, “Thank you, I appreciate that… I’m doing my best to try to make my family proud.”
Kim even gave some social media advice to Gypsy Rose after she admitted to struggling with people criticizing her selfies for not having a “deeper message.”
“Sometimes you just have to post — and I mean — post and then disappear,” Kim told her. “I think the way you live your life from here on out is the deeper message… You’ve been through hell and back.”
Gypsy Rose has expressed her interest in making the prison system better for incarcerated individuals, saying she was denied individual therapy while behind bars.
“I want to be the person I would want to have guiding me, but I feel very new to this,” Gypsy Rose explained, as Kim offered to help her put together a team.
“I think she’s the perfect person to talk to a younger generation,” Kim said in a separate interview, before telling Gypsy Rose, “I think you have a very important future to help a lot of people.”
ET spoke to Gypsy Rose in May about his meeting with Kim.
“It was a great honor to meet her and I know that prison reform is definitely something that she’s passionate about (and) it’s something that I’m passionate about, so being able to connect with her and talk about it was a wonderful experience,” he said. Gypsy Rose: Life after lockdown star said. “I know viewers will enjoy seeing what we talk about.”
Kim has become known for her work with several presidential administrations, working to get prisoners released early. She is also studying to become a lawyer.
