Gypsy Rose Blanchard, an American citizen who served eight years in prison for killing her mother was granted parole on Thursday morning.
The internet is cheering for Blanchard, a victim of Munchausen by proxy, as she begins a new chapter in her life.
After admitting to the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee, Blanchard was initially given a 10-year prison term.
Dee Dee had mistreated her daughter by purposefully making her ill.
During her trial, Blanchard stated that her mother had lead her to believe she had muscular dystrophy, leukemia, and a plethora of other ailments, keeping her in an infant-like state.
Dee Dee was stabbed to death in her home by her daughter’s then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn.
After being found guilty of first-degree murder, he received a life sentence.
After gaining significant media attention during her trial, now 32-year-old Blanchard has been the focus of an HBO documentary named “Mommy Dead and Dearest” and a Hulu series “The Act,” which starred Joey King.
The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a Lifetime original series, will debut on January 5 and feature an exclusive interview with her while she is incarcerated.
Since she’s freed, many on the internet are wishing her well, considering this will be her first chance at independence and agency.
