Gypsy Rose Blanchard was involved in a minor car crash on Saturday in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. According to police, the collision caused only minor property damage, with no injuries and no arrests. TMZ reported that sun glare contributed to the crash at an intersection, and a local social media user joked about getting sideswiped by the 35-year-old.
The crash comes just over two weeks after the death of her ex-fiancé Ken Urker, who died on October 1, his 34th birthday, of an apparent overdose at his home in Raceland. Blanchard and Urker shared a 1-year-old daughter, Aurora Raina. Blanchard previously said the last time she saw Urker was in September, when she surprised him with a Burger King delivery, calling it a lighthearted final memory.
Adding to the swirl, resurfaced prison call recordings have been recirculating, where Blanchard discussed hoping Urker would overdose. As she navigates grief, co-parenting, and a very public spotlight, even a small fender bender turns into a headline. Do you think the internet gives her too much scrutiny? Sound off below.
