By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on June 26, 2025 at 11:30 AM EDT

In a long rant on Instagram, Gypsy Rose Blanchard claims she has "taken accountability" and is now "taking back her life."
Her social media post comes just one day after she officially completed her parole, following her release on December 28, 2024, after serving eight years of a 10-year sentence.
Not only did Gypsy Rose Blanchard open up about the next chapter in her life, but she also mentioned Nicholas Godejohn, her ex boyfriend who helped murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
How Gypsy Rose And Nicholas Godejohn’s Twisted Romance Turned Deadly

Nicholas met Gypsy on a Christian dating site in 2012.
At the time, Gypsy was living under her mother's strict control, isolated from the outside world and desperate for connection. Their online relationship quickly became intense and unconventional. They exchanged explicit messages and discussed sexual fantasies, with Gypsy later testifying that Nicholas believed he had multiple personalities, one of which was violent and dominant.
Over time, Gypsy confided in Nicholas about the abuse she was suffering at the hands of her mother. Feeling trapped and hopeless, she turned to him for help. It was within this context that they began plotting Dee Dee’s murder.
Reflecting On Deadly 2015 Plot With Nicholas Godejohn

In June 2015, Nicholas traveled from Wisconsin to Missouri to carry out the plan they had discussed. While Gypsy hid in the bathroom, Nicholas stabbed Dee Dee multiple times in her bedroom. After the murder, the pair fled to Wisconsin, where they were arrested days later.
"When I accepted my sentence, I accepted the weight of my choices," Gypsy said in the lengthy Instagram post. "I served my time. That was my accountability and I've carried it for years. I don't owe the past anything more."
Gypsy Rose Says Autism Diagnosis ‘Does Not Excuse’ Murder

It was then that she went on to call Nicholas Godejohn a "deeply disturbed man" who "knew the difference between right and wrong."
"Regardless of my role of unintentional manipulations. This type of manipulation isn't rooted in malice; it's often a reflection of past trauma, fear of abandonment, or a lack of emotional tools," she continued. "The key difference is intent. The person is not trying to deceive or control, but the behavior still affects others and requires self-awareness and growth to correct."
Gypsy went on to explain how "Nicholas made the decision to move forward with that night" and how "that was a choice and he is not exempy from the consequences of that choice."
"His diagnosis of Autism/Asperger's does not excuse what he did," she claimed. "Mental health is complex, but accountability matters and no one is above the law. His fate was decided by a panel of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and 12 jury members who reviewed the same evidence circulating online. His efforts of appeals have all been unsuccessful, each court agreeing with the original conviction."
It's Time To Declare ‘The Case Closed'

The ex-convict then told her followers that she "will not carry his actions on her shoulders any longer" and her next chapter is "one of healing, growth, and reclaiming her life."
"This is freedom, and I'm moving forward with clarity, peace, and self-forgiveness," Gypsy added. "The Justice system has decided. The case is closed. This is justice for DeeDee, as well as myself, who the system failed all my life."
As The Blast reported, many doctors accepted Dee Dee’s explanations and falsified medical records at face value, and while a few raised concerns, no one followed through. One neurologist, Dr. Bernardo Flasterstein, noted that Gypsy displayed no symptoms of muscular dystrophy or other ailments Dee Dee reported. He suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy and documented it in his notes. Still, no report was made. No intervention followed.
Gypsy Rose Offers Heartfelt Apology

Gypsy concluded by expressing her "continued prayers" for the Pitre family (Dee Dee's side of the family), admitting she is "deeply remorseful for the pain and heartbreak her actions have caused them."
"I recognize that nothing I say can undo the trauma or bring Dee Dee back, but from the depths of my heart, I will continue to express my sincerest apologies to them, now, and always," she wrote.
Now, Gypsy is ready to begin her next chapter as a free woman, a mom, and a partner to Ken Urker.
