Ophelia Nichols, better known as Mama Tot on social media, shares many empathetic messages for her followers.
She recently shared a special message specifically for Gypsy Rose Blanchard as she embarks on a new chapter in her life after being released from prison after serving eight years for helping to kill her abusive mother.
Mama Tot Shares An Empathetic Message For Gypsy Rose Blanchard
When a TikTok follower asked Mama Tot if she has “any inspirational words for Gypsy Rose,” Nichols jumped right in to share some empathetic words of wisdom.
“It’s such a perplexed case. You can’t really look at it this way or that way. You can’t. You can’t. It’s not one of those cases,” she began her TikTok video. “And I think there’s a whole lot of little girls, like myself, big girl now, that related to Gypsy in a lot of ways. We might not have went through exactly what she did, and the deep and dark trauma that she did, but we relate in a lot of ways. I certainly do.”
Nichols then reiterated something she’s told her followers many times before – her first bully was her mother. She then continued her video by explaining what her wish is for Gypsy.
“My wish for Gypsy, and I have a lot of them, is that people realize she’s did her time and her punishment is over,” she said. “And Gypsy can do anything she wants to do now, cause there ain’t nothing or anyone holding her back.”

Nichols said because she’s still so young, she can go to college or find a career in something that she’s passionate about.
“She can do anything,” she added. “I hope Gypsy finds the person that she wants to be, because for many years I don’t even think she was allowed to find out what she wanted or what she liked or who she was, or how she wanted to dress or what her style was or what she loved the most about her. And she can do that now. And I wish nothing but happiness for her.”
In true Mama Tot fashion, she recognized that someone lost a life. She also reminded people that this can’t be looked at “this way or that way,” saying this case was “too much.”
“I feel like that baby was held hostage right there in her own home for years, secluded from everything and anyone, couldn’t even make a friend next door,” she continued. “I couldn’t imagine. So that’s why I feel like a lot of people shouldn’t even comment on that, cause that was a hard life to live.”
The popular content creator also explained that Gypsy should never be judged for anything she’s done. She concluded her video by sharing one last thought for Gypsy as she begins a new chapter in her life.
“And I hope Gypsy Rose can be happy and find happiness and really understand what living life is all about,” she said. “I just want her to have a good life. That’s it. That’s all.”
