Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison on Thursday morning after serving eight years for the murder of her mother, ABC News reported.
Blanchard was originally sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee, who she alleged abused her by deliberately making her sick. In Blanchard’s trial, she claimed that her mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy and had fabricated that Blanchard had illnesses including leukemia, asthma and muscular dystrophy.
Blanchard and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, conspired to murder Dee Dee, with Godejohn stabbing and killing her in her home. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Blanchard, now 32, garnered much media attention at the time of her trial and became the subject of the Hulu series “The Act,” starring Joey King, as well as a HBO documentary titled “Mommy Dead and Dearest.” Lifetime will premiere on Jan. 5 “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard,” featuring an exclusive interview with her from prison.
