The connection between siblings is unparalleled, constituting one of the most liberating, affectionate, and robust relationships one can experience. It’s a bond marked by unconditional support. When Mia Blanchard delved into the experiences of her half-sister Gypsy Rose Blanchard, she perceived Gypsy’s tribulations as her own. During her appearance on ‘The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’ as well as ‘Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,’ Mia expressed the profound significance of Gypsy in her life and illuminated the current state of their relationship.
Mia Blanchard Advocated for Gypsy’s Early Release
Mia Blanchard came into the world on June 26, 2001, a full decade after Gypsy’s birth. During her early years, she had limited opportunities to form a connection and engage with her half-sister. Mia resided with her father, Rod Blanchard, and mother, Kristy Blanchard, while Gypsy lived with her biological mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Mia grew up alongside her older brother, Dylan. It wasn’t until 2016, when Gypsy was convicted and sentenced to prison for the second-degree murder of her mother, that Mia became more intimately acquainted with her half-sister’s circumstances.
Gypsy had endured pervasive physical, medical, and emotional abuse from Dee Dee throughout her entire life, leading her to believe that killing her was her only means of claiming freedom. She received a 10-year prison sentence, and as Mia delved deeper into her sister’s story, her empathy for Gypsy’s experiences grew. Mia believed that Gypsy didn’t need a prison sentence; instead, she required medical care and the support of therapists to facilitate her healing.
Alongside her family, Mia actively advocated for Gypsy’s freedom and developed a close bond with her, viewing Gypsy as akin to a sister of her own. Mia felt that she had gotten to grow up in a secure and loving environment, something that every child deserves, and Gypsy was robbed of that childhood and that life. Mia felt sorry for Gypsy and wanted the rest of her life to be as beautiful as possible. Upon learning about Gypsy’s desire to marry Ryan Anderson, Mia was the initial family member to voice her concerns, demonstrating her love and protective instincts for her sister.
Ryan took the initiative to meet with Mia and reassured her that he was prepared to confront the challenges that marriage would entail, expressing his commitment to stand by Gypsy’s side. Recognizing Ryan as a trustworthy individual despite her reservations, Mia sensed that her sister would find happiness with him. Ultimately, Mia gave her approval while highlighting the sisters’ mutual commitment to looking out for each other, unaware the couple would soon part ways.
