Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison last year after pleading guilty to her involvement in her mother's murder, is apologizing for ghosting her fans on social media, admitting she "did a bad thing."

As you know, Gypsy was charged with second-degree murder for conspiring with her ex-boyfriend Nick Godejohn to kill her mother, Dee Dee, on June 9, 2015, following years of abuse.

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.

Because of this, many people are rallying behind Gypsy, showing their support and appreciation for her. However, Gypsy recently ghosted those fans as she deleted her Instagram and X profiles without any warning.

So with that being said, thank you so much for watching and hearing me out."

The ex-convict added that the recent TikTok video intended to offer a "public apology to anyone that felt offended by my lack of accountability," particularly surrounding the interviews she performed with various news outlets right after she was released from prison.

A few days after Gypsy went MIA on Instagram and X, she released a statement on her TikTok (her only social media profile left), telling her fans, “What happened is I had a really good conversation with my dad, actually. He gave me some guidance that I feel like I really need. And that guidance was to show me that real life is something you can touch, something you can feel. People you can actually hug.”

It was later revealed to People that her social media deletion "was at the advisement of her parole officer, so she won’t get in trouble and go back to jail."
