"Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reflects on Life After Prison and the Legacy of Her Mother's Death"

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was convicted of second-degree murder for her role in the killing of her abusive mother, was released from prison after serving 85% of her 10-year sentence. In a recent interview, she expressed that she never wanted her mother dead, just to escape the abusive situation. Her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who was believed to have Munchausen syndrome by proxy, had subjected Gypsy to unnecessary medical treatments and convinced her she was much younger and sicker than she was. Since her release, Gypsy has gained social media fame and is working on a book and a Lifetime special about her experiences.
