received substantial backlash over the weekend for a tone deaf TikTok collaboration she did with making light of the grisly murder of her mother Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
While taking part in the trend 'We listen and we don't judge' last Saturday, the 34-year-old ex-con stated: 'I went to prison for eight and a half years because I [unalived] my own mom.'
When the 23-year-old blonde replied 'Oh my god,' Blanchard snapped: 'Hey, we listen and we don't judge.'
Reynolds' viral video went on to amass 12.5 million views mostly by horrified TikTok users like @brentsenff, who amassed 209,000 likes for commenting: 'We listen and we call a judge.'
It's only been two years since the Life After Lock Up star was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center after serving eight years of a decade-long sentence for the second-degree murder of her abusive mother at age 48.
In 2015, Blanchard gave her online ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn - who has an IQ of 82 - duct tape, gloves and a knife to stab Dee Dee 17 times in the back while she slept in her bed.

The conspiring couple then stole $4,400 in cash from her mother and mailed the murder weapon back to the autistic 36-year-old's home in Wisconsin where they fled by bus.
Godejohn is serving a life sentence without parole at Missouri's Potosi Correctional Center plus an additional 25 years for armed criminal action.
The murder - which they blamed on Dee Dee's undiagnosed Munchausen syndrome by proxy - inspired Hulu's eight-part series The Act and Lifetime movie Love You to Death, both of which were released in 2019.

'I do deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended by [the comedic TikTok]. That was never my intention,' Blanchard told TMZ on Monday. 'Like, I was not laughing about it. I don't think it's funny to joke about a heavy topic in my past' (posted Monday)
She added: 'I apologize because the delivery was wrong on that. I am trying to be my authentic self and if my authentic self is saying, "I did something bad in my past but look at where I am now." That's where I'm coming from with it but I would never joke about my past'
But hours later on TikTok, the aspiring podcaster was far less apologetic, declaring 'all together, we did an amazing collab' and people just 'misunderstood' them: 'Some chose to put a negative spin because literally me being on this Earth [irks] their nerves'
Two months ago, Into the Weeds procured over 100 never-before-seen disturbing video calls between Blanchard and Godejohn through a freedom of information (FOI) request.
