The convicted felon turned Lifetime Channel subject, fashionista, and social media personality recently updated a Change.org petition, titled "Support Kenan's Law: Fight Online Harassment," that she launched shortly following the Oct. 1 death of her boyfriend and father of her child, Ken Urker.
In the petition, the 35-year-old, who spent eight years of a 10-year sentence for her role in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, claimed that her boyfriend was endlessly harassed online on social media sites like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit. "Kenan's Law" would push for social media users to label groupings of accounts and posts as a harassment campaign.
"I cannot change what happened to Ken... But I know what we experienced before his death," Blanchard wrote. "I know what it felt like to report content we believed constituted harassment and repeatedly be told there was 'no violation.'"
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Insists That Boyfriend's Death '100% Was Not Suicide'
However, she returned earlier this week to update the petition. She pointed out that she didn't believe Urker's death was a suicide.
"Ken recently passed away, official cause of death is pending toxicology results. However, we do know with 100% certainly that it was not suicide," the petition reads.
That said, Blanchard still believes that negative comments online affected Urker's mental health.
"I often found Ken reading negative comments, watching videos that featured commentary that was hateful, slander and demeaning. This had a profound negative impact on his mental health," she wrote on the petition page.
Of course, Blanchard was found guilty of second-degree murder after her former boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, fatally stabbed Dee Dee in their Missouri home in 2015. While Blanchard enjoys life as a reality TV star, author, and influencer, Godejohn spends his time locked behind bars, serving a life sentence. Just after finalizing her divorce from her husband, teacher Ryan Anderson, Blanchard welcomed her and Urker's baby daughter, Aurora Raina, in December 2024. The baby's birth was just a year after Blanchard was released from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center.
Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on Oct. 1, his birthday. He was later pronounced dead.
"We're told Gypsy texted Ken 'Happy Birthday' but did not get a response," TMZ reported at the time. "Our sources tell us Gypsy's brother Dylan later discovered Ken in the home."
Urker was 33.
