Ryan Anderson says he reached out to Blanchard’s father to offer support after apparent overdose death of Ken Urker

The ex-husband of Gypsy Rose Blanchard has said he was “shocked” by the recent death in Louisiana of her former partner Ken Urker – and that he would be there for Blanchard and her daughter “if she needs me”.

Ryan Anderson made those remarks during an appearance on The Sarah Fraser Show podcast on Friday, providing a noteworthy reaction to the latest chapter involving Blanchard, who achieved an unusual level of celebrity after spending time imprisoned for a role in the murder of her abusive mother.
