Kim Kardashian reveals that she is in contact with Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Kim Kardashian has been in touch with Gypsy Rose Blanchard following her release from prison.

In a recently released episode of the famous entrepreneur's hit show "The Kardashians," the influencer reached out to her to discuss how Gypsy Rose, like Kardashian, could be involved in ongoing efforts to reform the criminal justice and prison systems. She revealed that she had reached out to him.

"I'm meeting with her on Wednesday," the SKIMS founder told her famous manager, mother Kris Jenner, and sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner during the July 4 episode.

"She has to (involve) her parole officer. So I hope her parole officer approves."

In the confessional tape, Kardashian elaborated on the possible meeting, telling the camera that Blanchard, who was released from prison on December 28, 2023, first "contacted me on social media."

"She expressed a desire to participate in prison reform, and with what she herself learned in prison, I think there is an opportunity to use her platform in a really important way," she continued.

In 2015, Blanchard and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were arrested after authorities found Blanchard's mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, stabbed to death inside her Springfield, Missouri, home.

Blanchard eventually pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for helping her then-boyfriend kill her mother; in 2016, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison, Springfield News-Leader, KY3, and KOAM reported at the time. Blanchard's ex-boyfriend received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Blanchard claims to have been a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a psychological disorder in which a person "acts as if the person under his or her care is physically or mentally ill when that person is not actually ill," according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Blanchard allegedly was abused by his mother for years and was subjected to unnecessary surgery and invasive procedures for a disease he did not actually suffer from. During the trial, Blanchard's lawyers argued that Blanchard's mother even went so far as to intentionally make her daughter sick

in order to draw sympathy from others.

Taking the stand, Blanchard testified that her mother took her to various doctors to have her treated for serious illnesses such as leukemia and muscular dystrophy.

"I have to pray to forgive my mother, but the hardest part now is forgiving myself," Blanchard said in a 2017 interview with Dr. Phil McGraw. She also expressed regret for her actions that ultimately led to her mother's death.
