'The View' host Ana Navarro makes surprising joke about Gypsy Rose Blanchard needing a 'shovel' if she marries someone like her mother
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been receiving all the celebrity treatment since her release from prison, including close monitoring of her dating life.
In the recent episode of 'The View', the co-hosts discussed her split from her estranged husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, and her new partner during the Hot Topics segment.
Ana Navarro cracks shocking joke about Gypsy Rose Blanchard
Upon revisiting Gypsy's romantic history, which included her marriage with Anderson, her divorce from him, and her rekindled romance with her former fiance, Ken Urker, Joy Behar jokingly said, "Who needs Tinder, ladies? Just get arrested."
Co-host Ana Navarro, who had remained silent for the most part of the conversation, noted she was "scarred" by speculating about Kate Middleton's whereabouts before it was known the princess had cancer.
Navarro motioned to zip her lips shut and stated, "I said I would [zip it] about other people’s lives." However, she did follow up with, "I hope she thrives, I hope she’s happy," as co-host Sunny Hostin repeatedly reminded the panel, "She murdered her mother."
Behar responded, "Everyone marries their mother," perhaps mishearing what Hostin had said, which made Navarro joke, "Marries? If she’s gonna marry her mother, she’s gonna need a shovel," as per Decider.
Despite cracking up at the joke, Behar said, "This show is very dark," adding, "Many people are abused and they don’t kill their parents."

Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin gave Gypsy a hard time, labeling her a murderer and criticizing her renewed romance with her ex-fiance, before saying that she didn't understand "prison love."
Hostin seethed on the show, "I just don’t understand prison love," to which Behar responded with a jest, "You know where they are all the time. There’s a lot of positives."
Hostin persisted, saying, "I have successful, beautiful girlfriends that can’t get a date, and here she is, having been convicted — pled guilty — to murdering her mother … pled guilty to second-degree murder."
When Sara Haines brought up the fact that Gypsy's mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, had "severely abused" her before she orchestrated her murder, Hostin retorted, "Well, she killed her mom."
She added, "I don’t know how you then start writing letters to her and then sleep next to her as a husband without one eye open, because she killed a loved one."
While addressing the comments Hostin made about her romantic life, Gypsy stated, "Her comments are weird because she was so nice to me on 'The View,'" to TMZ on Friday, May 3, adding, "She was so understanding and sweet and wished me nothing but the best. Everyone was so supportive. I wonder why she turned on me."
Gypsy initially appeared on 'The View' in January to talk about her life after prison.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard says she's excited for her future with ex-fiance Ken Urker
Gypsy and Urker met through a prison pen program while she was serving her term for the second-degree murder of her mother. They got engaged in 2018 but broke up the following year.
She made romantic connections with other people while she was incarcerated, besides Urker. While still incarcerated in 2022, Gypsy married Anderson following her split from Urker.
Three months after she was released from prison, Gypsy split from Anderson and is now back with her ex-fiance. Their reconciliation has received quite a bit of attention as the duo was spotted locking lips while in New Orleans for a jazz festival.
She told TMZ, "We have a history that made for the perfect foundation for a new beginning. We are together and in a wonderful place in our relationship. We know it is going to be a long road ahead but are excited for the future."
