Late last year, Gypsy was released from prison after serving seven years for the second-degree murder of her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Pitre in 2015.
Dee Dee was found stabbed to death in her Springfield, Missouri home, having been stabbed in the back 17 times.
Her death came after Dee Dee led Gypsy and the people around her, including her doctors, to believe that her daughter was suffering from chronic medical conditions.
Dee Dee claimed it was because Gypsy was born prematurely.

She claimed her daughter suffered from leukemia, asthma, and muscular dystrophy, requiring a wheelchair and daily medication.
It was later determined that Gypsy’s mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is also known as Factitious disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA).
Two days after Dee Dee was found, Gypsy and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn were arrested in connection to the murder.
Photos taken of the crime scene that were released years ago have resurfaced, revealing the conditions of the home Gypsy and her mother were living in at the time.

The images were shared in a mysterious Google Drive link, which was then shared across social media.
The photos show a crowded house with bags, garbage, and personal belongings strewn about.

One photo shows a wheelchair Gypsy had used in a bathroom, while another showed a cabinet stocked full of medication.
The Missouri home had been built for Gypsy and her mother by Habitat for Humanity.
The recent images also reportedly included photos of Dee Dee’s bed with bloody sheets, leaving social media users shocked.
“The Gypsy rose crime scene pics are disgusting,” one X user wrote in a post.
“F*** I JUST SAW THE GYPSY ROSE CRIME SCENE PICS why did i look,” another said.
“People are freaking out about the Gypsy Rose crime scene pics & I don’t advocate un-aliving anyone, but are you not equally disturbed this pic?” one user said sharing the image of the medicine.
“That’s the obscene amount of meds DeeDee Blanchard was literally FORCING on a perfectly healthy child. It’s so beyond abusive.”
Several called for Gypsy to return to prison over the jarring photos.
“i just seen the gypsy rose crime scene pictures.. lock her a** back up,” one X user said.
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
The Greene County Sheriff's Office confirmed to The U.S. Sun that the crime scene images of Dee Dee's murder are public record and have been for some time.
The sheriff's office said the images were not leaked by the department as they keep a record of every time such documents are released.
Instead, the sheriff's office explained any individual is able to submit a request to access the photos for the closed case.
Podcaster and blogger Fancy Macelli, who hosts a true crime podcast called The Good Wives, has since claimed she owns the link to the crime scene photos.
A review by The U.S. Sun appears to show a Google account titled goodwivesdish last modified the images in October 2022.
In a video uploaded to TikTok, the podcaster, whose real name is April Johns, confirmed the images were public record and said she had collected them for her Patreon subscribers.
"The link that's going out to a drive is my files. Yes, it came from my Patreon. Nice of you all to take it out of there and then spread it all over the place," she said.
"Those documents, those crime scene photos, they have been public for the last nine years. Anyone could have put a FOIA at any freaking time they wanted to and gotten those photos."
LEGAL DRAMA
Johns is currently facing legal troubles related to Gypsy and her family.
In May of this year, Gypsy filed a lawsuit against Johns claiming she used to work with the content creator.
The lawsuit, obtained by Rolling Stone, accuses Johns of fraud, breach of contract, and defamation related to a life rights deal established in 2017.
HOW IS GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD CASHING IN?
INSTAGRAM POSTS
She may have deleted her first Instagram account, but with over 8 million followers, it's likely Gypsy Rose was raking it in per post.
According tothetab.com, an expert claimed she could have been charging up to £80k for just one sponsored post on her Instagram.
Speaking to the New York Post, Olivia Rudensky added: “With a community that engaged — wanting to listen to the podcasts, wanting to buy the book — Blanchard could be making millions this year.
"She has such a unique built-in audience that wants to hear more and wants more answers, which obviously turns into money."
TIKTOK CREATOR PROGRAMME
TMZ claimed that Gypsy lost out on an estimated £4,500 from TikTok which allegedly went into her ex-husband Ryans’s account.
She's since restarted her account and with such a large following, has the ability to earn hundreds of thousands per year from the social media platform.
TV SHOW AND BOOK
Gypsy Rose is releasing a memoir called My Time to Stand in January 2025 and also has her TV show Life after Lockup coming out.
While the price of the book hasn't yet been revealed, that, combined with the TV show, is sure to be a profitable venture for the 32-year-old
At the time, Johns reportedly promised to "produce media projects on Gypsy's behalf."
Over the next few years, while Gypsy remained in prison, Johns gained access to interviews, private medical records, photos, court documents, and more.
However, the contract was not renewed in 2019.
The lawsuit claims this was due to Johns and her "failure to secure any media projects or produce any marketable content."
In the years that followed, Gypsy claims Johns continued to produce "content sporadically" about her on social media and shared private materials.
“As evidenced by defendant Johns/Macelli’s conduct, and the conduct of her agents/associates, Johns/Macelli is intentionally and freely utilizing the materials she received from plaintiffs pursuant to the agreements signed by plaintiff Gypsy and plaintiffs Rod and Kristy, respectively, without their consent and for her own pecuniary gain,” the lawsuit reads, per USA Today.
Gypsy and her family specifically accused her of fraud, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, defamation, and false light.
In early, June the lawsuit was reportedly tossed out of court, with the judge arguing that the suit was filed in the wrong venue, according to RadarOnline.
LIFE AFTER PRISON
While serving her sentence, Gypsy married Ryan Scott Anderson whom she began talking to in 2020.
They met for the first time in person in 2021 and later tied the knot in July 2022.
The relationship did not last long as Gypsy filed for divorce three months after she was released from prison.
