Kim Kardashian fans have been left baffled after Gypsy Rose Blanchard featured on her reality TV show.
The Kardashians has returned for a fifth series and it kicked off with an appearance from Gypsy Rose, who served seven years in jail after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy, whose mother falsely claimed that she had various illnesses when she didn’t, was released from prison late last year.
In Kim’s show, the US star was seen knocking on Gypsy’s door and the pair shared a hug. The meeting left viewers scratching their heads, with many posting messages on X questioning what the link was.

“Kim K x Gypsy was NOT on my 2024 bingo card,” admitted one perplexed fan. “What in the world is Gypsy Rose Blanchard doing with Kim Kardashian of all people?” asked another.

“Ew @KimKardashian with Gypsy Rose… come TF on,” said someone else, as another viewer asked: “What is this crossover?” “Why tf did Kim Kardashian & Gypsy Rose link up?” posted another confused viewer.
“WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING,” posted another. “Can’t believe Gypsy Rose meets Kim!!” exclaimed someone else.
Somebody else wrote on Reddit: “I’m sorry but wtf is this desperation??? Kim literally tries so hard and it’s just not it. Like seriously Gypsy Rose??? I can’t think of anything they have in common other than looking for their 15 mins of fame anyway they can. This is so weird to me.”

The surprising meeting could be something to do with the fact that Kim has been studying to become a lawyer. And Gypsy – who is now something of an influencer – has expressed an interest in meeting her.
Earlier this year, she told Extra: “It would be cool. She has that huge platform for prison reform, and I have been in prison. So, having those two elements, I think we could do some good in the world.”

Gypsy plotted with then boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to kill her mother, who was found stabbed to death in 2015. Godejohn is serving a life sentence.
It later emerged that Gypsy’s mother had pretended she was ill and that she’d had to have medical procedures that she didn’t really need. Experts have suggested Blanchard was suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which the NHS says is “where a person fakes or induces illness in a person under their care, such as their child”.
