Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the convicted murderer of her mother who inspired Hulu’s Emmy-winning « The Act, » has been released from prison.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the woman whose story of being forced to fake childhood leukemia and other illnesses until she convinced her boyfriend to kill her mother inspired the Emmy-winning Hulu series “The Act,” was released from prison Thursday.
Blanchard, now 32, was let out of a Missouri jail after serving 85% of her 10-year sentence on her second-degree murder conviction, according to The Associated Press.
Before her case was depicted in the true crime series that starred Patricia Arquette and Joey King, Blanchard was the focus of intense public attention following the 2015 slaying of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
