Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s TikTok has been hacked by a mystery user just days after her release from prison for murder.
The 32-year-old was released on parole on December 28 after serving almost eight years of a 10-year sentence for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee Blanchard. She had agreed to a plea deal from prosecutors, which accounted for the abuse Gypsy Rose had suffered at the hands of Dee Dee throughout her childhood.
Since her release, Gypsy Rose has been widely in the public eye, particularly following the release of six part documentary The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard over the weekend. She has spoken out on the abuse she suffered, revealing she regrets planning Dee Dee’s murder - which was actually carried out by then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn - with plans to continue to advocate for victims of child abuse.

“We’re working with TikTok to get the username and the profile picture back to where it was, so don’t freak out just yet, I am back in control.” At this point, Gypsy Rose’s husband, Ryan, who she married in July 2022 while still in prison, enters the frame and says “Shame on y’all”. Gypsy Rose laughs as she snaps “Baby!” back at her husband.

But Gypsy Rose smiled and seemed carefree as she explained the ordeal (userdgjhnguj5f/TikTok)Gypsy Rose has been sharing her travels around the US as she enjoys the first tastes of real freedom in her life, including going to the theatre and a first visit to New York. For years, Gypsy was the victim of Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy, wherein a parent or carer fakes the illnesses of their young one in order to gain sympathy or attention.
This meant Gypsy Rose was tube fed, made to use a wheelchair, and forced to shave her head as her mother pretended she had various severe diseases, such as leukaemia and muscular dystrophy. She underwent 30 unnecessary operations and her mother even lied about her age, making her think she was four years younger than she actually was. In June 2015, Gypsy Rose planned the murder of her mother with Godejohn, hiding in the bathroom as he stabbed Dee Dee 17 times.

Bear with me, this is the first time this has ever happened,” Gypsy Rose continued. “So just be aware that that happened,” she added before signing off to her 8.8 million followers on TikTok.
Despite initially using her newfound social media fame to share her first tastes of freedom, Gypsy Rose plans to use it as a vehicle for advocacy work in the future. “I want to work in Munchausen syndrome by proxy advocacy. I want to be a voice when I can, because I didn’t have any reference like, ‘So and so said I’m being abused, I’m going to go for help,’” she said.
