Gypsy Rose Blanchard Invited to Ken Urker’s Funeral Amid Family Feud

While Autumn Urker has utilized social media to launch scathing attacks against Blanchard following her brother’s October 1 death, sources close to the family indicate that the rest of the Urkers remain on good terms with the media personality. Ken’s parents reportedly bear no ill will toward her, and his mother has expressed support, prompting the family to invite Blanchard to the upcoming services in Texas. Blanchard intends to attend, though she is simultaneously organizing a separate memorial in Louisiana for relatives unable to travel.

Blanchard has sought to distance herself from the public hostility, telling Us Weekly that she refuses to let the focus shift to her private disagreements with Autumn. She revealed that her final conversations with Urker were largely consumed by his anxiety over his sister’s alleged threats to escalate their public feud. According to reports from Page Six, the former couple’s communication had shifted to a strictly co-parenting dynamic in their final month, centering entirely on their one-year-old daughter, Aurora. Blanchard reportedly refrained from romantic overtures, hoping to provide Urker the mental health space he required during his final months. As authorities in Louisiana await toxicology results following the discovery of drug paraphernalia at the scene of his death, Blanchard has launched a petition against the cyberbullying she claims contributed to Urker’s state of mind.
