Gypsy Rose Blanchard is speaking out about her freedom since being released from prison last month after serving time for the murder of her mother Clauddinnea «Dee Dee» Blanchard in 2015.
Speaking to «Good Morning America» in a sit-down interview with Deborah Roberts which aired on Friday, Gypsy Blanchard, who was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023, recalled the experience of stepping out of the prison walls for the first time.
«I felt a little bit like I was dropped in a different world,» she said. «Because you don’t realize how much you’re restricted in prison. I felt like I was in a black-and-white world and I just stepped into technicolor. It was amazing.»
Gypsy Blanchard spent nearly 9 years behind bars for her participation in orchestrating the murder of her mother, who was found stabbed to death in her home in Springfield, Missouri.
«Dee Dee» Blanchard allegedly abused her daughter by convincing her she was sick for years since she was a child when she wasn’t.
«Dee Dee» Blanchard portrayed Gypsy Blanchard to the public as a frail, disabled child who suffered from multiple illnesses including leukemia and muscular dystrophy, subjecting her to a life in a wheelchair, a feeding tube and unnecessary surgeries.
Based on assessment from professionals, Gypsy Blanchard was deemed as a victim of her mother’s psychological disorder, commonly known as «Munchausen syndrome by proxy,» in which parents seek sympathy through the exaggerated or made-up illnesses of their children.
During the interview, Gypsy Blanchard, who is now 32, looked back at the early transition of her life from living with her mother to behind bars, telling Roberts, «Honestly (it) wasn’t that much of a difference.
