Gypsy Rose-Blanchard would do “Dancing With the Stars”, but says she's 'not talented with anything'

What does Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's life after lockup look like after Gypsy-Rose Blanchard: Life After Lockup? Maybe, a stint on Dancing With the Stars?

Season 33 contestant Tori Spelling thought it wasn't too farfetched an idea to suggest during a recent conversation with Blanchard on her misSPELLING podcast.

"You've done docuseries and a documentary," Spelling pointed out, noting the above-mentioned series, which Lifetime produced in 2024, a year after Blanchard's parole from prison on a second-degree murder charge. "But would you ever do a competition reality show?"

Blanchard didn't dismiss the suggestion out of hand, but she did express reservations.

"I mean, that's the thing: I feel like I'm not talented with anything — I can't sing, I can't dance," she said.

Spelling asked Blanchard's stepmother Kristy, who accompanied Gypsy-Rose to the interview, if it was true that Blanchard possessed absolutely no talents.

"She's got the personality for dance, so she's got it," Kristy encouraged.

"Yeah, I got personality," Blanchard agreed.

Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016 after she pled guilty to playing a role in the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. It was Gypsy-Rose's then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, who committed the crime, but Blanchard spent seven years in Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center for her part.

The reasons for her parole three years before her sentence was fulfilled began to pile up immediately after her incarceration. Documentaries like HBO's 2017Mommy Dead and Dearest and dramatizations like Hulu's 2019 limited seriesThe Act amplified what Blanchard testified to in her original trial: a lifetime of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother that culminated in a gruesome murder.

Shouting out another of Blanchard's admirable qualities — her courage — Kristy joked, "Look, she's not the greatest singer, okay? Neither am I. But she would be the one that's braver to do it."

Blanchard explained that she previously "never put myself out there in that way. I was always trying to pick projects that focused on sharing my story." But whether or not Dancing With the Stars is the best next step, Blanchard says she'd "do it just to have fun."

DWTS might at least be a better landing place for Blanchard than Spelling's other suggestion, The Masked Singer. The former series has historically opened its doors to paroled and exonerated convicts (and even those with time served), from fraudstress Anna Delvey (season 33), to rapper Lil' Kim (season 8) to Real Housewife and tax evader Teresa Guidice (season 31). Though Delvey — who was eliminated first alongside Spelling last season — isn't the show's best booster, reflecting after her stint that her favorite memory of the show was "getting eliminated."
