Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is speaking out following the death of her partner Ken Urker and urging fans to support Kenan’s Law, a petition aimed at holding social media platforms accountable for how online harassment is handled.

While a cause of death has not yet been released, Blanchard wrote that before Urker passed, the two repeatedly reported harassment and cyberbullying he received across platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit. She wrote that they believed such content “crossed the line from criticism.”
