LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA: Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard said she wanted to share her story with her daughter to prove that she was not a "monster," as social media says.

Appearing on 'The Viall Files' podcast earlier this week, the mom-to-be said she would let her daughter watch her documentary and read her memoir.

The 33-year-old, who served eight years in prison for her involvement in her mother Dee Dee Blanchard's murder, said to host Nick Viall that sharing her journey with her daughter was a top priority since she learned about her pregnancy, according to People.

Blanchard, in July, revealed that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker.



 

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard says she will let her daughter know her story at the right age

"That conversation is going to come up someday, and how do I want to address that, how do I want to handle that?" Gypsy-Rose Blanchard said about revealing her life to her soon-to-be-born daughter. "And I feel like when she is of the right age to understand, we are going to sit her down together."

She added her father and stepmother would support her in revealing her story to her daughter with "love and care and consideration." The former inmate noted that there was still a long time to prepare and to know what words should be said at that moment.

The Munchausen syndrome by proxy victim revealed that one reason for writing her book, 'My Time to Stand: A Memoir', was to share her story with her unborn daughter.

"Because she could read it for herself and see that I’m not this monster, I’m not the person that they say on social media. I’m not any of those things," Blanchard said, adding the memoir was the "true form" of her soul and everything she underwent.

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard wants her daughter to know everything from 'right' sources

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard asserted she was taking all the steps, including penning her life as a memoir, to ensure that her daughter had "every source of information she needs from the right places."

Besides the memoir, which is set to release by the end of 2024, Blanchard also wanted her daughter to watch the documentary.

"I mean I fully encourage looking at someone’s life in the most truest form, so I’m in support of the documentary. So if she wants to watch my documentary, I’ll let her when she’s old enough," she said.

"And reading my book. And talking to us. I’m an open book, he’s an open book. Any questions that she has, we want her to feel comfortable to ask us."

The docuseries 'The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard' was released in January 2024, shortly after her December 2023 parole release, after she served eight years of a ten-year sentence.
