Gypsy Rose Blanchard remembers 'good times' with late mom Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard on Mother's Day
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Gypsy Rose Blanchard celebrated Mother’s Day by sharing an emotional video with her fans.
The 32-year-old remembered her late mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who was murdered in 2015.
“Today is Mother’s Day, and I wanted to make a video basically celebrating the really strong and wonderful women that I have in my life that have been mother figures to me over the last eight and a half years,” Blanchard shared over TikTok.

Blanchard did time for her involvement in the death of her mother and was convicted of second-degree murder.
She turned off the comments, and said she doesn’t “want to hear any negative bulls**t.”
“It does not go without notice that my own biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother’s Day and what I choose to feel on Mother’s Day regarding my own mother is that I think the best of her,” Blanchard shared.
“I think about the good times. I think about her as not what she did to me, but I think about her as a person … Was she a good mom? No. Was she the best mom in the world? No,” she went on.
“But she was still my mom so what I choose to feel about her, whether that be guilt, anger, grief, resentment — whatever. That’s mine to feel,” reports PageSix.
Gypsy Rose hopes her mother will be proud of her today
Despite the abuse she went through at an early age carried by her mother, Blanchard said she wants to “remember her for the good that was in her heart that I truly believe was there.”
“I have been working for years on forgiveness, and I hope that she is in heaven, and I hope that to some degree I make her proud of at least some of the achievements that I’ve made in my life in growing up and standing on my own two feet and learning through experiences,” she further said.
The TV personality talked about her mother and hoped she's in a better place now, “In heaven, they say that all mental afflictions, all physical afflictions are gone, right?”
“God makes you perfect in heaven, so if you take away the mental afflictions that my mother had, then I think what’s left is a good person,” Blanchard added.
