Gypsy was released early from prison on Thursday after serving eight years of a 10-year sentence. In 2016, she pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Her then-boyfriend Nicholas "Nick" Godejohn, with whom she plotted, was convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Dee Dee subjected Gypsy to unnecessary medical treatment, and convinced her daughter and others that Gypsy had a litany of illnesses as a child. In court, it was argued that Gypsy was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

"If I had another chance to redo everything, I don't know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I'm not sick and mommy makes me sick, or, if I would travel back to just the point of that conversation with Nick and tell him, 'You know what, I'm going to go tell the police everything,'" she said. "I kind of struggle with that." However, she also clarified, "Nobody will ever hear me say I'm glad she's dead or I'm proud of what I did. I regret it every single day."
