AceShowbiz - Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who recently gained attention for her case involving the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, has expressed gratitude to Kim Kardashian for meeting with her. She also thanked the star for listening to her story, even though Blanchard acknowledges that she is considered "too controversial."

Kardashian, known for her passion for prison reform, sat down with Blanchard in an upcoming episode of "The Kardashians" and acknowledged the sensational aspects of Blanchard's case but emphasized her belief in Blanchard's ability to "make a big difference."

Blanchard, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016, was released from prison in December 2023 after serving over eight years. Since her release, she has been eager to join forces with Kardashian on prison reform issues. She previously said she would like to work on prison reform with Kardashian after the latter included her 2017 documentary, "Mommy Dead And Dearest", on her list of must-watch true crime shows.

"Maybe we should unite forces together to make real change within the justice system," Blanchard responded. Kardashian has been involved in prison reform, advocating for inmates' early release and supporting the First Step Act.

In a clip from the upcoming episode, Blanchard thanks Kardashian for speaking with her and acknowledges that many people are afraid to address her case due to its controversial nature. "I think a lot of people are afraid of touching me as a topic," Blanchard says. Kardashian responds that she is "no stranger to controversy herself."

Blanchard discussed her incarceration and revealed that she had steak for the first time after her recent release. Kardashian praised Blanchard's resilience and acknowledged her ability to "articulate what you went through and how you can get through it." Despite her controversial past, Blanchard has a strong desire to make a positive impact and believes that she can use her experiences to help others in similar situations.
