Gypsy Rose Blanchard Is Sharing Her Brand New Life Outside Prison

"Out of prison and still serving..."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been through it.

The 32 year old spent years in prison after being charged with her mother’s murder, a story many of you will probably recognise from the TV series adaptation of her story starring Joey King.

Joey portrayed the true story of Gypsy Rose, who did in fact conspire to kill her mother with her boyfriend at the time.

However, Gypsy’s motives for having her mother murdered were complex – leading to an extraordinary amount of support for the young woman when she was sentenced to prison, and eventually granting her release.

Now, fans of the fascinating woman are hooked to Gypsy Rose’s social media accounts, where she’s showing off her brand new life since her release from jail just last week.

Sharing her first time celebrating New Years’ Eve outside prison in eight years, Gypsy Rose posted a snap kissing her husband, writing, “New Year’s Eve kiss with my hubby”.

One fan wrote,”I’m so happy for you!!!!!”, while another chimed in, “Out of prison and still serving, that’s the QUEEN”.

In a video posted on Sunday in conjunction with an upcoming Lifetime documentary, Gypsy Rose revealed, “It’s going to be really awesome to have some family time after so long.”

The incredible woman rang in the new year with her dad, stepmother and husband Ryan Anderson, a teacher who started writing to Gypsy Rose when she was imprisoned after learning of her story.

For those of you who don’t know Gypsy’s background; her mother Dee Dee had Münchausen Syndrome by Proxy. This is a mental illness and form of child abuse where a caretaker or parent makes a child sick on purpose.

Until her teenage years, Gypsy Rose believed she was seriously ill. She took several medications which made her increasingly more unhealthy, had her head regularly shaved, used a wheelchair, and even took food through a tube.

After a horrific childhood and failed attempts from doctors at the hospitals she was treated to raise alarm bells, Gypsy Rose took matters into her own hands when she discovered the truth.

We’re delighted to see that Gypsy Rose will be getting some semblance of normality, and the ability to live a happy and fulfilled life with her husband!
