Gypsy Rose Blanchard: From Serving Time To Serving Fans On Instagram

Now that she is a free woman, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is serving on social media, gaining millions of followers in the months following her prison release.

As you probably know, the 32-year-old served 85% of her 10-year sentence for pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. She was released from prison in December 2023 -- and ever since she has been sharing photos and videos of her day-to-day life, including debuting a brand-new hairstyle.

Following her prison release, Gypsy has gained millions of followers and fans as she continues to tell her story. In a recent video shared to Gypsy's official Instagram account, she wowed fans as she debuted a balayage hairstyle in her "comeback kid era."

Her 7.8M followers immediately flooded the comments, supporting the ex-convict.

"The caption being just your name in a hashtag is kinda a serve," one of her followers commented.

"Served her time now she’s serving us," another said.

As one of her fans expressed, "Okay Gypsy with the fresh balayage don’t hurt em."

Gypsy Rose recently moved in with her now-husband, Ryan Anderson, whom she married during a prison wedding last June. The two have been spending a lot of time together as they continue sharing selfies and photos together. One of Gypsy's recent pics shows off her new custom-made necklace, which features her and her husband's initials.

"Thank you @danasengjewelry for the beautiful custom necklace. GR & R, for GypsyRose and Ryan," she captioned the pic.

Not many fans commented on the necklace itself, however, they continued to support the ex-convict despite spending the last several years behind bars.

Following her prison release, while many rallied behind Gypsy, others were confused as to why so many idolized a murderer. After her newly found fame, some individuals flooded her Instagram comments sections with hate, but others came to her defense.

"Give this woman a break; she began to understand life at the age of 32," one of her followers commented, adding, "She has mentioned many times that escaping from her mom by getting rid of her wasn't the right way, but only those kids who experienced the same kind of abuse can comment hatefully, as I observe on every post. Gypsy Rose keep strong."

For those who are unaware, Gypsy Rose is believed to be a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is a psychological disorder where the caretaker either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick to get charity or sympathy. Investigators believe Gypsy's mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

Another one of her fans commented, "For everyone saying mean things to Gypsy…. Do you KNOW actually what her mother did to her?!?"

They added, "She forced her to take out her teeth, removed her saliva glands, forced her to get stomach surgery [and] to have a feeding tube put in, shaved her head, force fed her tons of medications, forced her to have multiple surgeries, and pretend she was paralyzed."

Gypsy, a huge Swifte, had a bit of fun lip-syncing to Taylor Swift's hit song, 'Mean,' in a newly shared video clip. Some think that the 32-year-old chose this song as a dig at her haters, but others found it to be ironic.

"It's funny the irony of this song she's calling her bullies mean but she killed her mom that was pretty mean," one follower wrote, adding, "And she Definitely could've done something she just wanted her mom dead."

The now 32-year-old spent the last seven years in prison for co-conspiring to kill her mother with her then-boyfriend, who remains behind bars. Gypsy previously said she felt the only way out of the abuse she endured from her mom was to kill her.

For those who are unaware, according to medical records shown in the 2017 docuseries, ‘Mommy Dead and Dearest’, Dee Dee took her daughter to the hospital over 100 times from 2005 to 2014. She also underwent multiple surgeries, which were later deemed unnecessary. Some of those surgeries included gastrointestinal operations, eye procedures, and the removal of her salivary glands.

A few weeks ago, the 32-year-old served as she posed for a selfie, wearing leggings and a sports bra. "To all my supporters, Thank You for remaining to follow my life journey. Y’all kind words are very uplifting," she captioned the pic, adding, "I never said that I was perfect, I am 100% human, I make mistakes, but I learn from them. I gain achievements, celebrate them with me."

Fans couldn't help but gush over Gypsy as one of her fans commented, “She ate," as another said, “OKAY QUEEN.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison after serving 85% of her 10-year sentence for pleading guilty to second-degree murder and is now on parole.
