Ken Urker\u2019s sister, Autumn, has slammed Gypsy Rose Blanchard over what she claims are \u201clies\u201d about their relationship and the circumstances leading to Urker\u2019s death on Friday.<\/p>\n

Urker, 33, was found dead in his Louisiana home on his birthday, with reports at the time claiming Blanchard had sent her former fiance a birthday message before his body was found.<\/p>\n

Now, Autumn has rejected that claim, telling the US Sun<\/a> that Blanchard \u201chad no right to lie and say that it was because of some text that she sent to him\u201d. <\/p>\n

Urker was reportedly discovered by Blanchard\u2019s brother Dylan, who arrived at the home with his wife before calling authorities. <\/p>\n

In a tribute shared on social media today, Blanchard \u2013 who shares a one-year-old daughter, Aurora, with Urker \u2013 described her former partner as her \u201cgreatest love story\u201d and \u201csoulmate\u201d.<\/p>\n

Autumn denied that characterisation of the pair\u2019s relationship, claiming Blanchard had been telling people \u201cthey were engaged and planning a baby number two\u201d, but \u201cnone of that was true\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were not together,\u201d Autumn claimed, adding that they had broken up \u201cover a month ago\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he was like, \u2018I\u2019m done,\u2019 she\u2019d do a thing, and so it was a fight whenever they split,\u201d Autumn claimed, before describing Blanchard\u2019s tribute as a \u201cslap in the face\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a slap in the face. You don\u2019t have to lie and make it seem like something,\u201d Autumn said.<\/p>\n

While no official cause of death has been revealed, Blanchard claimed earlier today that Urker suffered an overdose but admitted she didn\u2019t know whether it was intentional.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was not in a good state of mind lately,\u201d Blanchard told People<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blanchard and Urker met as prison pen pals in 2017 while Blanchard was behind bars for her role in the murder of her mother, Clauddine \u2018Dee Dee\u2019 Blanchard.<\/p>\n

They got engaged in 2018 and announced their split in 2019, but reconnected in the years since. <\/p>\n

While broken up, Blanchard married her now ex-husband Ryan Anderson in 2022 while still in prison. Blanchard and Anderson split a few months after her release in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ken Urker\u2019s sister, Autumn, has slammed Gypsy Rose Blanchard over what she claims are \u201clies\u201d about their relationship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[485258,485272,485253,379323,389294,393137,443547,252782,295116,378408,8288,25668,241634,485269,485274,376825,391203,485264,377545,485256,424827,393648,386198,485261,64,1329,63,41780,126457,127975,90011,485259,376626,485273,1300,462513,134,39598,485271,485251,485255,441566,378817,485263,485275,380405,485252,380045,380061,485262,485265,378245,485257,1114,20349,44,485270,461183,1861,485267,5220,485260,232,1314,485266,286994,397490,395845,384793,382541,20557,409391,376757,376539,485268,380074,384159,451072,24080,485254],"class_list":["post-917365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-dee-dee","tag-blanchard-they","tag-s-brother-dylan","tag-s-death","tag-s-relationship","tag-s-sister","tag-s-tribute","tag-252782","tag-295116","tag-378408","tag-8288","tag-25668","tag-241634","tag-a-baby-number","tag-a-birthday-message","tag-a-few-months","tag-a-fight","tag-a-good-state","tag-a-month","tag-a-one-year-old-daughter","tag-a-slap","tag-a-thing","tag-a-tribute","tag-an-overdose","tag-au","tag-aurora","tag-australia","tag-authorities","tag-autumn","tag-bars","tag-blanchard","tag-blanchard-and-anderson","tag-characterisation","tag-clauddine","tag-death","tag-earlier-today","tag-entertainment","tag-friday","tag-gypsy-rose-blanchard","tag-her-greatest-love-story","tag-her-former-fiance","tag-her-former-partner","tag-her-mother","tag-her-now-ex-husband-ryan-anderson","tag-her-release","tag-her-role","tag-his-birthday","tag-his-body","tag-his-death","tag-his-louisiana-home","tag-his-recent-death","tag-his-wife","tag-ken-urker","tag-lies","tag-mind","tag-news","tag-no-official-cause","tag-our-new-appnow","tag-people","tag-people-blanchard-and-urker","tag-prison","tag-prison-pen-pals","tag-reports","tag-social-media","tag-some-text","tag-soulmate","tag-that-claim","tag-the-circumstances","tag-the-face","tag-the-first","tag-the-home","tag-the-murder","tag-the-pair","tag-the-time","tag-the-us-sun","tag-the-years","tag-their-relationship","tag-their-split","tag-today","tag-urker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
