Gypsy Rose Goes Private
Plus, do spy glasses look good with a denim maxi?
We’ve got a little bit of EVERYTHING today. An important Gypsy Rose update, we’re stomping down our sensible shoes against some 90s trends trying to haunt us, we’ve got concerns about the new Meta glasses, and some tween terms to watch out for. Hold on to your hats!
Oh, Hello!
Hot off the headlines
We have a major Gypsy Rose Blanchard update! Earlier this year Gypsy was released from prison and blitzed across social media in every way, shape and form. She was getting yass queen’d and called iconic from every thirsty influencer looking to monetize off of her trauma. In our post The Youth Stan Gypse Rose - our HTBLO youths universally felt protective of Gypsy.
“I would like to see everyone leave her the hell alone and stop trying to turn her into a meme it’s such horrible parasocial relationship shit like people have no boundaries and it needs to stop. If she wants to share her story and appear publicly that is totally fine but it’s her call and people are just being idiots.” ~ Lilah (16)
It seems Gypsy is in absolute alignment with our young, HTBLO contributors. Just last week she completely deleted all of her socials. Here’s what she had to say to EOnline:
"So a lot of people already noticed that I already deleted my Instagram—the public one—with the 7.8 million followers when I deactivated it or, I deleted it, I permanently deleted it," she said in a TikTok video—that has since been deleted with her original account but reposted by others. "A lot of people are like, ‘What happened?' and what happened is, I had a really good conversation with my dad and he gave me some guidance that I feel like I really needed. And that guidance was that real life is something you can touch—something you can feel—people you can actually hug."
Sounds like Gypsy is suggesting we “touch grass.”
"With the public scrutiny as bad as it is, I just don't want to live my life under a microscope," she continued. "So I created a private Instagram, and I got it verified. And I had absolutely no doubts or trouble with deleting that public one. I had people who were like, ‘Oh my god, you're insane for deleting that kind of a following.' and I'm like, ‘I could give a F about a following.' That's not real life."
Honestly, mad respect. (Also nice to see that her dad is looking alive with some actual parenting.) Gypsy is prioritizing her mental health over some random brand partnerships (unlike HTBLO, we are currently on the 👀-out) and you just love to see it. 7.8 milly is serious, she could absolutely monetize that massive following. Wishing Gypsy Rose all the peace and tranquility in the world. Hoping the next time we see her in the headlines is never.
Have we all seen those “What in the actual Delia’s catalogue is happening at Target right now,” style-toks? They really have our rumps laughing and it’s funny cause its TRUE. And, we have some real style concerns…
