Who is Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
Blanchard, 32, pled guilty to a second-degree murder charge for conspiring with her then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn to kill her abusive mother in 2015. Godejohn remains in prison, and in 2022, Blanchard married Ryan Scott Anderson, a 37-year-old teacher based in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, allegedly suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, where those with the condition make children sick by creating fake symptoms of disease or inducing real ones.
She served about 85% of her 10-year sentence, became eligible for parole in September and was released from prison Dec. 28.
Blanchard also recently announced the release of an eBook titled “Release,” set to come out on Jan. 9.
