Patricia Arquette Responds to Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Criticism of Her 'The Act' Performance

Patricia Arquette is speaking out after finding out that Gypsy Rose Blanchard criticized her performance in The Act.

The Oscar-winning actress won her second Emmy Award for her work in the Hulu limited series, in which she played Gypsy‘s mother Dee Dee Blanchard.

In a recent interview, Gypsy told Us Weekly, “I think Joey King did an amazing job playing me. I was a little bit harder on Patricia Arquette playing my mom just because it’s my life. I am very hypercritical of it.”

Patricia was asked to comment on the criticism while on the red carpet this week and it was her first time hearing about it.

“Oh I didn’t know that. Well, that’s okay, I can live with that. I’m okay with that. And who could blame her?” Patricia told TooFab. “We are all entitled to our opinions. You know, I mean, that was her mom and I think even though they killed her mom, she also really loved her mom, so they had a very complicated relationship and a lot of strange stuff there going on, you know.”

Patricia also discussed her thoughts on Gypsy‘s story.

“I never met her; I think what she lived through is horrific,” she said about Gypsy‘s prison release. “The whole story is horrific, the whole thing. I’m glad that she’s out and living her life, with the scrutiny of celebrity too, which she had even before we made our show. I just hope people give her some space and she gets to live her life for the first time freely and you know, making her own healthy choices, hopefully.”

Patricia and Joey just reunited at an event!
