12 July 2024, 14:27

Kim Kardashian and Gypsy Rose? It must be the new season of The Kardashians. Here's what we know about Gypsy Rose Blanchard making an appearance on the show.

At this point I think we should all throw away our 2024 bingo cards because from Taylor Swift's double album drop to Harry Styles' breakup, we can't keep track with all the curveballs being thrown this year - and this might be the most unexpected twist yet.

The Kardashians is back for season five and it appears that Kim Kardashian and Gypsy Rose Blanchard become acquainted on the show. We say 'unexpected' but in reality, the union might not surprise everyone, with Kim's work with law and prison reform and, well, Gypsy's time in prison, it may have been inevitable that the two public figures would cross paths.

Gypsy was released from prison at the end of 2023 and her time back in the real world has been nothing short of surprising, with a divorce, a new relationship and a cosmetic transformation and now a pregnancy, she's had the world glued to her every move.

At the start of the season's first episode we were introduced to Gypsy in a super fleeting moment that teases her appearance later on in the show. So, is Gypsy Rose really starring in The Kardashians, and if so, when and why?

Is Gypsy Rose in the new season of The Kardashians?

Yep! Gypsy made her series debut on episode eight of the fifth season. This aired just one day after she announced that she's pregnant with boyfriend, and ex-husband, Ken.

Why was Gypsy Rose in season 5 of The Kardashians?

Gypsy and Kim discussed her late mother, Munchausen syndrome by proxy and prison reform.

"I recognise that you can make a big difference because you can articulate what you went through and how you can get through it," Kim said to Gypsy as they spoke in a private hotel room.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard speaks to Kim Kardashian

Speaking to the confessional Kim explained: "When Gypsy posted that she wanted to get into [prison] reform work and wanted to connect I really wanted to guide her to use her platform to really help people."

In 2017 Kim declared Gypsy's documentary Mommy Dead And Dearest as a must-watch true crime show and at the time Gypsy responded, saying: "Maybe we should unite forces together to make real change within the justice system."

The Kardashian sister has been very open about her journey into law, following in her father Robert Kardashian's footsteps, and one area she's been most vocal about is prison reform and advocating for inmates to get released early. In 2018 she was involved with getting President Donald Trump to support the First Step Act, which enacted major reforms in the US prison system.

Whilst in prison Gypsy Rose filmed another documentary called The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and spoke a lot about how she'd grown and learnt during her time in prison.

However, when Gypsy was released, during her press tour she had said that she didn't relate to being referred to as a 'murderer' despite pleading guilty to second-degree murder, after helping her boyfriend kill her abusive mum.

After sometime she apologised for the statement saying: "To all the people that I offended with a lack of accountability, the first month or so that I was out of prison and the lack of accountability in my interviews, I'm sorry.

"I'm learning. I take accountability for my part, and I'm saying this right now. I'm taking accountability. I did a bad thing."
