Gypsy Rose Blanchard has a serious message for the world.
Since her release from prison in December,Charles H. Sloan the 32-year-old has been candid about her life before, during and after her mother Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard's 2015 murder. But now Gypsy is hitting back at those who she believes are expecting too much from her.
Gypsy reminded fans on TikTok May 27 that she is "NOT a celebrity," but is a "trauma survivor who is healing from emotional, mental and medical abuse."
"Don't ask me to relieve my trauma for your personal curiosity," she wrote. "Don't demand to know the answers to questions that have no relevance in your life, don't expect me to have overcome my past on your time, don't tell me about my mistakes and choices when I am who has to live with them on my conscious, don't project what you want me to be because you find it more interesting."
Gypsy added that she has been open about her mother's Munchausen By Proxy as an inspiration to others who might be dealing with similar issues. But instead, she finds her abuse being "invalidated by content creators on social media who do not have any psychological education to back up their claims."
She pointed to Dr. Marc Feldman, a psychiatrist who specializes in MBP, as one of the few who can give actual credence to her mother's diagnosis after he interviewed Gypsy for 2017's Mommy Dead and Dearest.
"Don't ask me to advocate," she said at the end of her message. "I AM HEALING."
Her childhood abuse affected her relationship with her mother, who was stabbed to death in 2015. Gypsy—who pled guilty to second-degree murder—alleged Dee Dee made both her and the public believe she had various illnesses, including cancer, despite not actually being sick.
According to Gypsy, the abuse was centered around the mental health disease Munchausen By Proxy—in which the "caregiver feigns, exaggerates or induces illness in (another person) with the primary goal being to get attention, sympathy and praise," Dr. Feldman explained to Today.com earlier this year.
Still, despite her hardships, Gypsy has been trying to maintain a hopeful attitude.
"Stay positive," she captioned a May 7 TikTok post, "there is always hope."
She shared a similar sentiment on Instagram, writing, "There is a beauty in the struggle of overcoming your past. #selflove."

"People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People. "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou."
Days later, Gypsy was spotted out with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker. He said that the two are "just hanging out as friends."

Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan on April 8, 2024, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing came nearly two years after their July 2022 prison wedding.
In late April 2024, weeks after filing for divorce from Ryan Anderson, Gypsy announced she has gotten back together with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The following May, she makes their rekindled romance social media official by sharing a video montage of their romantic moments on TikTok.
In her video, Gypsy described her love story with Ken Urker "legendary."
And when a fan, using her own past comments about ex Ryan Anderson, took the oppotunity to ask her in the comments a NSFW question about Ken, Gypsy responded quickly and candidly.
