Make Page Six a Preferred Source Gypsy Rose Blanchard urged her followers to sign an online harassment petition to honor her fiancé, Ken Urker, after his tragic death.
“In honor of Ken, I am asking for your support for Kenan’s Law. 🤍,” she captioned an Instagram post Sunday.
“Before his passing, Ken experienced an overwhelming amount of online scrutiny and what we believed crossed the line into targeted harassment and cyberbullying,” the reality star claimed.
“Reports were made across multiple platforms, and far too often, the response was simply: ‘No violation.'”
Blanchard, 35, said the law will be about “changing the way social-media platforms handle repeated reports of harassment.”
“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 penned.
“This is not about silencing criticism or taking away anyone’s freedom of speech. Public figures can and should be criticized. But public figures are still human beings, and fame should never erase someone’s humanity.”

The “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up” alum said Urker’s death has made her “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.
“Please sign and share the petition to support Kenan’s Law. Fame does not erase humanity. A pattern cannot always be understood one post at a time.”
As Page Six previously reported, Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on his 34th birthday on Oct. 1.
Urker was reportedly discovered by a family member after he didn’t respond when Blanchard texted him “happy birthday.”
