Gypsy Rose Blanchard is asking followers to help her make a change after losing Ken Urker. Days after her former partner was found unresponsive at a Louisiana home on his 34th birthday, Blanchard shared a photograph of him with their daughter, Aurora Raina, and announced an effort in his honor.

Her Sunday morning Instagram post addressed the online treatment she says Urker experienced before his death and called on supporters to take action. “I only have my daughter and my voice,” she wrote.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Asks Followers To Support ‘Kenan’s Law’

Blanchard used the photograph of Urker and Aurora to introduce a Change.org petition calling for changes to how social media platforms handle harassment reports. “In honor of Ken, I am asking for your support for Kenan’s Law. LINK IN BIO,” she continued in her caption.

The petition focuses on repeated reports involving the same person. Blanchard said she wants platforms to consider the volume and pattern of reported content rather than assessing each item on its own. “Kenan’s Law is about changing the way social-media platforms handle repeated reports of harassment,” she wrote. “One post viewed alone may not tell the whole story, but hundreds of posts, videos and comments directed at one person can reveal a pattern that deserves meaningful review.”

She directed followers to the petition through her Instagram biography and asked them to share it, writing, “Please sign and share the petition to support Kenan’s Law.”

Blanchard Claims Reports Of Harassment Received ‘No Violation’ Responses

In the caption, Blanchard alleged that Urker faced targeted harassment before his death and that reports made to social media platforms frequently went nowhere. “Before his passing, Ken experienced an overwhelming amount of online scrutiny and what we believed crossed the line into targeted harassment and cyberbullying,” she claimed. “Reports were made across multiple platforms, and far too often, the response was simply: ‘No violation.’”

She did not name the platforms in that passage or provide details about individual reports.

Blanchard also addressed whether her proposal would limit criticism of public figures. “This is not about silencing criticism or taking away anyone’s freedom of speech,” Blanchard said. “Public figures can and should be criticized. But public figures are still human beings, and fame should never erase someone’s humanity.”

Her post follows earlier statements in which she said Urker experienced cyberbullying on platforms including TikTok and Reddit. “Fame does not erase humanity. A pattern cannot always be understood one post at a time,” she wrote at the end of Sunday’s caption.

Ken Urker Was Found Unresponsive On His 34th Birthday

Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Raceland, Louisiana, on Thursday, October 1, his 34th birthday. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office previously confirmed that officers responded after receiving a call at 6:15 p.m. Authorities said Urker was dead when they arrived and that the death investigation was continuing.

Blanchard has said she suspects he died from an overdose, while acknowledging that she did not know whether it was intentional. A final cause and manner of death have not been established.

She also previously said she sent Urker a birthday text but received no response.

In Sunday’s post, Blanchard described her decision to begin advocating for changes to social media reporting systems. “Ken’s passing has made me determined to turn pain into purpose. I cannot change what happened, but I can advocate for a better system for the next person who feels like no one is listening,” she wrote.

Authorities have not established online harassment as a cause of Urker’s death.

Gypsy Rose Previously Confirmed Ken Was Aurora’s Father

Blanchard and Urker welcomed Aurora Raina in December 2024. Their daughter appeared alongside her father in the photograph Blanchard selected for Sunday’s petition announcement. A month before Aurora’s birth, Blanchard publicly addressed speculation about whether Urker or her former husband, Ryan Anderson, was the baby’s father.

According to Page Six, she confirmed Urker’s paternity in a since-deleted post. “There’s been a lot of chatter around the paternity of our baby and while we’ve known for sure from the beginning, I feel that it’s finally time to put all these theories to rest,” she wrote. “Ken is the father.”

Blanchard also shared her excitement about raising their daughter together. “Ken is going to be an incredible dad and we are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world,” she added.

Following Urker’s death, Blanchard described him as an amazing father and promised to make sure Aurora knew how deeply he loved her.

Blanchard And Urker Reunited Years After Their First Engagement

Blanchard and Urker’s relationship began while she was incarcerated. He wrote to her in 2017 after watching the HBO documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest,” and their correspondence developed into a romance. Urker proposed in 2018, but the couple later separated. Blanchard subsequently married Anderson while still in prison.

After her December 2023 release and the breakdown of her marriage, she reunited with Urker in April 2024. They welcomed Aurora that December, although they separated again before his death, according to earlier reporting.

Blanchard has since shared personal photographs and videos of Urker, including clips of him hugging her and moments featuring their daughter. “You will always be my greatest love story. You will be remembered and loved forever,” she captioned that earlier tribute.
