Gypsy Rose Blanchard Fires Back at Sunny Hostin for Her 'Weird' Comments on 'The View': 'I Wonder Why She Turned on Me'
What did Gypsy Rose Blanchard ever do to Sunny Hostin?
On Friday, May, 3, the ex-con, who was released from prison in December 2023, spoke to reporters about The View host’s remarks regarding her relationship with boyfriend Ken Urker.
“Her comments are weird because she was so nice to me on The View. She was so understanding and sweet and wished me nothing but the best,” Blanchard, 32, said of Hostin, whom she met back in January while appearing on the daytime talk show. “Everyone was so supportive. I wonder why she turned on me.”
The reality TV star served seven years in prison for her involvement in killing her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, who was believed to have suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy. While in jail, the star wrote to Ken and the two were later engaged before they called it off in 2019.
Gypsy then began a relationship with Ryan Anderson, whom she married in 2022, however, the duo split in March. Since then, Gypsy has rekindled her romance with her ex-fiancé.
Gypsy’s comments on Friday came just hours after Sunny seemingly dissed her relationship on that morning’s episode of The View.
“I just don’t understand prison love,” the 55-year-old admitted. “I don’t understand it. I have successful, beautiful girlfriends that can’t get a date.”
“She killed her mom,” Sunny said of Gypsy. “I don’t know how you then start writing letters to her and then sleep next to her as the husband without one eye open. She killed a loved one. I just don’t understand the whole fascination.”
As OK! previously reported, though Sunny seems to not support Gypsy’s romance, the From the Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard star gushed over her boo on Wednesday, May 1.
"We are very happy together. We have a long history together. We always had a really close friendship that made for a great relationship. We are in a good spot right now," she told reporters while walking the red carpet in L.A.
