Gypsy Rose Blanchard is petitioning to put a stop to cyberbullying in the wake of her ex-fiance Ken Urker’s death as she claimed that he was a victim of cyberbulling before his passing.
After Urker died on his 34th birthday in Louisiana on October 1, Gypsy Rose, 35, has spent time on social media fighting against online harassment. Over the weekend, she launched the petition titled “Support Kenan’s Law: Fight Online Harassment,” which is “aimed at changing how major social-media platforms respond when someone repeatedly reports targeted online harassment and cyberbullying.”
Gypsy Rose seemingly addressed skeptics who speculated whether or not Ken was genuinely a victim of cyberbullying on Monday, October 5, by sharing alleged screenshots of negative remarks made about him online. This comes as Urker’s sister said Gypsy Rose was “to blame” for partner’s death and “loved all the attention.”

The screenshots were a part of photo dump that included a picture her and Ken’s daughter, Aurora Raina, along with snap of Gypsy Rose and Ken smiling together.
“What you’re seeing here isn’t even a fraction of it,” Gypsy Rose captioned the post. “These screenshots show only a small portion of an evidence log documenting the cyberbullying, ridicule, allegations, and targeted harassment Ken faced across social media over the years. There is substantially more that has yet to be documented.”

She further wrote, “People need to understand what sustained online harassment can look like when hundreds or thousands of individual posts, comments, videos, and discussions accumulate against one human being. Behind the screen was a real person. A father and partner. Someone who was loved.”
Gypsy Rose continued, “Kenan’s Law is about turning awareness into change. It is about recognizing the cumulative impact of cyberbullying and pushing for stronger protections and accountability online. This evidence log isn’t the whole story. It isn’t even a fraction of it. Please sign and share the petition for Kenan’s Law.”

At the end of Gypsy Rose’s photo slide show was a flyer of the petition she created in Ken’s honor to combat cyberbullying. She launched the petition, which now has over 7K signatures, on Change.org website on October 4.
Gypsy Rose explained on the website, that she was “asking” for individuals to “stand with her” in “supporting Kenan’s Law, a proposed law aimed at changing how major social-media platforms respond when someone repeatedly reports targeted online harassment and cyberbullying.”
She further noted, “Ken recently died following a suspected overdose. At this time, we do not know whether the overdose was intentional, and I will not speculate about circumstances that have not been determined. What I can speak about is what happened before his death.
“We Reported It. Again and Again. Ken was a public figure and experienced an enormous amount of public scrutiny. Across platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit, there was extensive content about him that we believed crossed the line from criticism into targeted harassment and cyberbullying. Ken made reports. I made reports. Videos were reported. Comments were reported. Posts were reported. And many times, the answer we received was ‘No violation.’ That is the problem I want to change.”
Ken’s sister, Autumn Urker, has heavily expressed her disapproval of her brother’s ex Gypsy-Rose Blanchard. She has insisted that Gypsy-Rose was more concerned with protecting her public image for the media than mourning with the family. Autumn revealed that their relationship weighed on her brother, Ken, because of all the scrutiny he faced online from being in a relationship with the ex-convict.
Autumn even claimed Gypsy-Rose was “to blame for his death because all of this started because of her,” claiming that Blanchard “had to be in the limelight. She had to be that girl. She didn’t care what it cost other people around her.”
