TMZ • • general
Key Points:
- Gypsy Rose Blanchard attended the Celebration of Life for her late partner, Ken Urker, in Austin, Texas, accompanied by their daughter Aurora and Ken's stepmother Kristy, where she gave a speech and participated in a slideshow honoring Ken.
- The event was attended by about 30 close friends and relatives, but tensions arose when Ken's sister Autumn, who has publicly criticized Gypsy, arrived toward the end, prompting Gypsy to leave to avoid an awkward encounter.
- Gypsy and Autumn have a longstanding feud that intensified after Ken's death, with accusations exchanged about respect and truthfulness regarding Ken's memory and their family dynamics.
- Autumn arrived with two friends who were denied entry as the family wanted to keep the gathering limited to close acquaintances; Gypsy and Ken's family later shared breakfast without Autumn present.
- Ken Urker passed away on October 1 at his Louisiana home, coincidentally on his 34th birthday, with Gypsy previously attending a private viewing in Louisiana that Autumn did not attend.
