Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Missouri woman who plotted to kill her mother who had abused her and forced her to fake serious illnesses, in a case that sparked a frenzy and inspired a TV series, was released from prison today. The 32-year-old was granted parole and released three years before her original release date. Blanchard had been serving a 10-year sentence on a second-degree murder charge for the June 2015 killing of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. The case inspired multiple TV shows including the 2019 Hulu show "The Act." In court, prosecutors claimed that Blanchard's mother had "Munchausen syndrome by Proxy," a psychological disorder where a caretaker either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make the person they are caring for appear sick.
