Gypsy Rose completes parole for her mum's murder
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has opened up about moving forward in her life after completing her parole on Tuesday. The 33-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to 'break her silence' on the role she played in her mother Dee Dee's 2015 death. Blanchard was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years of her 10-year sentence for second-degree murder. Her parole ended on Tuesday. 'I've taken accountability and now, I take back my life,' Blanchard started her post. 'When I accepted my sentence, I accepted the weight of my choices 'I served my time – that was my accountability, and I've carried it for years 'This is freedom and I'm moving forward with clarity, peace, and self-forgiveness. 'The Justice system has decided, the case is closed. 'I am deeply remorseful for the pain and heartbreak my actions have caused Dee Dee's family - I recognise that nothing I can say can undo the trauma or bring her back. 'From the depths of my heart, I will continue to express my sincerest apologies to them, now and always Dee Dee Blanchard's murder made world headlines as it exposed the realities of Munchausen by proxy Credit: Supplied 'This is justice for Dee Dee, as well as myself, who the system failed all my life. 'Justice was served and so was my time.' Blanchard also took the post as an opportunity to take aim at her 'deeply disturbed' ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, who was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison for his role in Dee Dee's murder. 'He knew the difference between right and wrong,' she said of Godejohn. 'Regardless of my role of unintentional manipulation, Nicholas made the decision to move forward with that night. 'That was a choice, and he is not exempt from the consequences of that choice. 'I will not carry his actions on my shoulders any longer – I've taken responsibility for mine.' Godejohn (L) was charged with first-degree murder and Blanchard (R) was charged with second-degree murder for their roles in Dee Dee's death. Credit: Supplied In June 2015, Godejohn stabbed Dee Dee to death while Blanchard, who he was then dating, hid in a bathroom. Godejohn's attorneys had previously argued that he was manipulated by Blanchard to kill her mom and should have his charges reduced to second-degree murder. Blanchard, who was a victim of Munchausen by proxy, was put in a wheelchair despite being able to walk, forced to take medications she didn't need and had her head shaved to convince loved ones and the community that she was suffering from muscular dystrophy, leukemia and other ailments. The Life After Lock Up star ended her post by thanking everyone who had supported her over the years 'I'm about to show you what living my best life really looks like, and all you can do now… is watch me.'
