Who knew Gypsy Rose Blanchard was a Cardi B fan?
The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard subject took to TikTok this week to share a “Toot It Up” dance video — set to Pardison Fontaine and Cardi’s February single “Toot It Up” — admirably tackling the viral choreography, including dribbling an invisible basketball between her legs to Cardi’s lyric “If you a ball player, I’m tryna recruit that a–.” It was all going pretty well until the end, when Blanchard dropped it low into a squat… and promptly tumbled backward offscreen.
“It was so close to being perfect. My quirkiness never fails me,” she wrote in the TikTok caption alongside a laugh-crying emoji.
In 2015, Gypsy Rose was arrested alongside her then-boyfriend and subsequently convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy Rose’s life story — about the physical, mental and medical abuse she endured at the hands of her mom — was turned into an eight-episode Hulu series in 2019 called The Act, with Joey King earning an Emmy nomination for playing Gypsy Rose and Patricia Arquette winning an Emmy for portraying Dee Dee.

Season 2 of Life After Lock Up premiered last month.
One commenter on Gypsy Rose’s “Toot It Up” dance wrote, “I’m telling my kids this was JLO,” to which Blanchard replied: “Best compliment of my life.”
