Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has responded to a reporter asking for her thoughts on the recent viral letter Luigi Mangione wrote to a fan, prompting her to offer the internet’s boyfriend a pearl of wisdom: don’t trust everyone!
“There’s a lot of weirdos out there,” Blanchard told a TMZ reporter when asked about receiving fan mail.
“It was nice to have the support, and I met a few friends that way; I met [Ken Urker] that way. There are a lot of weirdos out there, too.”
Urker is Blanchard’s boyfriend who first contacted her when she was in prison, and the pair share a child together. Blanchard was jailed for seven years due to her role in her mother’s murder in 2016. She was released last year and has since became a viral sensation online.
“A lot of people were like, ‘I’m gonna marry you’, and it’s like whoa!” Blanchard said.
The, when the reporter asked her what she did when she got those types of letters, she said she did her best to “ignore them”.
“You gotta read people, you gotta see who’s genuine and who’s just in it for clout. If they start asking for money or something like that, or want to move way too close too fast, that’s a red flag.”
However when the reporter asked if she could give any advice to Mangione on finding love behind bars, Blanchard mentioned that “he’s on his own devices for that one”.
“You appreciate the support you’ve got, you don’t listen to the hate and the critics, and you just gotta do your time.”
Blanchard also said that receiving and writing letters helps to “pass the time” while in jail, in response to Mangione’s letter to a mother with a sick daughter that recently went viral.

In the letter, Mangione says that the mother’s letter made him “tear up” and requests her to send him a photo of herself and her daughter to hang up on his cell wall.
“I am so, so sorry for what you and your daughter so senselessly had to endure,” Mangione wrote.
“Your daughter is blessed to have a mother who loves her so much and fights for her so relentlessly.”
Mangione is currently in a Brooklyn prison that also houses the disgraced music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Mangione isn’t the only felon that Blanchard has offered advice to, as she also told another TMZ reporter earlier this week that she hopes Lyle and Erik Menendez “take a break” if they are ever released from prison.
“I would say, if they ever do get released: Take a break. Really work on yourself. Get your feet on the ground and if that’s something you want to do, go ahead,” Blanchard said.
“I think that Hollywood would embrace them. I hope that the critics won’t bring them down.
“But I will say the one thing I kinda wish I did was take the time away from the media when I first came out of prison and [gave] myself time to adjust. I didn’t do that and I got overwhelmed by it.”
The Menendez brothers have been behind bars for 35 years after being convicted for killing their parents in 1989, and the pair have long maintained that the murders were driven by constant physical and sexual abuse.
They are currently serving life in prison without possibility of parole in California.
