Confusion Among Online Users as Gypsy Rose Blanchard Gives Advice to Luigi Mangione from Prison

Blanchard, who served a ten-year prison sentence for pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, has shared details about her time behind bars since her release in December 2023.

In a recent interview, the reality TV personality and mother of one offered advice to Luigi Mangione, who is currently awaiting trial for his alleged involvement in the murder of Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare.

On December 9, 2025, Mangione was arrested by law enforcement in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following accusations of shooting and killing United Healthcare CEO Thompson on December 4 after a multi-day search.

After his arrest, Mangione was charged with several crimes, including stalking, murder through the use of a firearm, and a separate firearms offense.

Once Mangione’s profile was made available, several members of the public became infatuated with his pedigree and good looks.

Consequently, Mangione has been showered with praise from people worldwide; however, the support has started to overwhelm him.

According to the FAQ section of a website published by Mangione’s legal team, the 26-year-old “appreciates” all of the mail he’s received. Yet, due to the processing time, he’s asked people to refrain from sending more than they need.

During a conversation with TMZ, Blanchard advised Mangione to be careful regarding the deluge of mail he was receiving.

“There’s a lot of weirdos out there,” she said. A lot of people were like, ‘I’m gonna marry you someday. Ignore them.”

On social media, some users replied to Blanchard’s advice to Mangione, questioning her authority to speak on the topic, considering her first marriage was to a fan, Ryan Scott Anderson.

“Didn’t she marry one of her fan mail senders?” someone asked before another replied, “She sure did … the f-ck?”

Another user also chimed in and called Blanchard’s statements “diabolical.”

A third user slammed Blanchard before saying her past has not been “forgotten.”

Several other users replied to the mother of one’s comments about “weirdos” and hinted that she was referring to herself.

“She’s one of them,” a netizen wrote before someone else echoed similar thoughts and wrote, “Isn’t she one of them!?”

After Mangione’s arrest in December 2024, more information about his background began hitting the internet.

Mangione’s friend, R.J. Martin, discussed a back injury the Ivy League graduate suffered earlier that stopped him from being “physically intimate” with romantic suitors.

According to Martin, Mangione’s condition, called “spondylolisthesis,” worsened after a surfing accident, and the change in his lifestyle reportedly “weighed on” him.

In March 2025, another source spoke to a different publication and revealed that before his arrest, Mangione allegedly filmed “at least 20 videos of him having sex” with various individuals.

The source claimed they’d seen some of the footage and that it was more than homemade recordings.

“It wasn’t just some grainy, late-night mistake,” they shared. “It was perfect lighting, everything,” they said. “He wanted to be watched. He got off on it.”

President of the United States, Donald Trump, hasn’t been happy about the praise Mangione has been receiving from members of the public.

The twice-impeached political figure blasted those sharing positive sentiments about Mangione as “terrible” people before saying they had a “sickness.”

“I think it’s really terrible that some people seem to admire him, like him,” Trump said. “I was happy to see that it wasn’t specific to this gentleman that was killed. It’s just an overall sickness as opposed to a specific sickness … That was a terrible thing. It was cold-blooded. Just a cold-blooded, horrible killing.”

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch shared thoughts similar to Trump’s and denounced those coming to Mangione’s defense.

“We have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder,” she said before slamming the “senseless act of violence” as a “calculated crime” that not only endangered New York citizens but also ended the life of a husband, father, and friend.

“We don’t celebrate murders, and we don’t lionize the killing of anyone,” she finished.
