Gypsy Rose Blanchard, fresh out of the clink and feeling chatty, has some unsolicited advice for Erik and Lyle Menendez. The 33-year-old recently freed herself from the Missouri hospitality suite known as the Chillicothe Correctional Centre after serving seven years for, you know, accidentally arranging her momβs permanent bedtime. Now sheβs ready to drop wisdom bombs on two guys who, back in 1989, decided their parents were justβ¦ too Beverly Hills to live.
In an interview with TMZ (because of course TMZ), Gypsy got real about the brothersβ potential re-entry into the wild, chaotic zoo we call modern society.
“Take It Easy, Boys”
βIf they do get a retrial or resentencing or whatever fancy lawyer stuff, my advice is: Chillax,β Gypsy said, clearly channeling her inner life coach. βDonβt rush out the prison gates like it’s Black Friday at Target. The worldβs, like, completely different now. Trust meβwhen I went in, TikTok didnβt even exist, and now everyoneβs doing weird dances for reasons nobody understands.β
For the uninitiated, the Menendez brothers are currently petitioning for a new hearing, fueled by newly submitted evidence and Netflix stirring the pot with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. (Netflix knows exactly how to make murder fashionable, don’t they?)
“Therapy, Therapy, Therapy”
Gypsy didnβt mince words about post-prison life: βYou gotta ease into it, like when you dip your toes in a freezing pool. Also, therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. Because this world? Yikes. Itβs a different kind of crazy out here.β
And hey, while Gypsy admits sheβs not exactly a walking Wikipedia on the Menendez case, she made it clear sheβs Team Victims. βIβm all about advocating for abuse victims and prison reform,β she said. βIf these guys were victims too, wellβ¦ letβs just say, everybody deserves a little justice, even if they made a big ol’ mess first.β
The Kim Kardashian Seal of Approval
When TMZ informed Gypsy that Kim Kardashianβyes, that Kimβis supporting the Menendez brothers, she didnβt bat an eyelash. βWell, duh,β she said, with a knowing smirk. βKimβs been killing it in her Prison Reform Era. Honestly, if Kim says they deserve another shot, who am I to argue? The woman made bike shorts and a law degree happen at the same time.β
And with that, Gypsy Rose Blanchard exited the interview like a proβarmed with the wisdom of experience, a passion for reform, and a healthy respect for Kim Kβs life choices.
