Gypsy Rose Blanchard responded to the criticism by telling TMZ that Hostin was nice to her when they met. “Her comments are weird because she was so nice to me on The View,” Blanchard said. “She was so understanding and sweet and wished me nothing but the best. Everyone was so supportive. I wonder why she turned on me.”
Blanchard appeared on The View weeks after she was released from prison. Along with slamming Gypsy Rose and referring to her as a “killer” Hostin criticized the 32-year-old ex-con for rekindling her romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker.
“She killed her mom,” Hostin declared. “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 on. I just don’t understand the whole fascination.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was previously married to Ryan Anderson. The couple got married in 2022 while she was still in prison. Three months after her release, the couple called it quits.
Blanchard recently revealed that she and Urker are back together.
