Gypsy Rose Blanchard has revealed she’s getting cosmetic surgery after announcing plans for a ‘transformation’.
The 32-year-old served eight years in jail for her role in the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard alongside her then boyfriend, Nicholas ‘Nick’ Godejohn.
Dee Dee had spent years convincing the world that Gypsy Rose was terminally ill, including making her use a wheelchair and even shaving her head.
Gypsy Rose and Godejohn conspired to kill Dee Dee together, with Gypsy Rose serving eight of her ten-year jail term.
Since her release, Gypsy Rose has hardly left the headlines, this time announcing her plans to get cosmetic surgery – more specifically a rhinoplasty (nose job).
“I’m going through a personal transformation journey currently and that includes a physical one too. Wish me luck with my surgery and watch the whole thing this summer on Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

Nadiya Vizier, Gypsy Rose’s close friend, also told the outlet that Gypsy Rose has wanted cosmetic surgery for a while.
“She just wants to fix it up and give it a more feminine look,” Vizier said.
The friend went on to say that Gypsy Rose is ‘going to be resting for about two weeks’ after the procedure is done on Friday (5 April) in Lafayette, Louisiana.
It comes just days aftershe revealed she had split up with husband Ryan Anderson.
The pair met in prison and even tied the knot during her time behind bars.
When Gypsy Rose was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri, she had planned to move in with her beau.
However, just three months after she was released, the married couple called it a day.

In a post on her private social media page as seen by PEOPLE magazine, she said: “People have been asking what is going on in my life.
“Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou.
“I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”
The couple had previously planned to renew their vows to reaffirm their relationship.
Speaking at the time, Gypsy Rose said: “We do plan on having a reception/redo wedding with all of our family and our friends and the dress and the cake and everything because we deserve that. I deserve that. He deserves that.”

After serving seven years of her sentence, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard adapts to life on the outside with her new husband, but that didn’t stop besotted men trying to make contact.
32-year-old Gypsy-Rose Blanchard served seven of her 10 year sentence for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, and is now free to live life on her own terms.

The Gypsy-Rose trial was one of the most well-documented and sinister cases of Munchausen-by-proxy in history. For Gypsy’s entire life her mother would tell doctors, friends and neighbours that her daughter suffered from a myriad of illnesses, including sleep apnea, seizures, visual impairment and even Leukemia.
Her mother Dee-Dee insisted to health professionals that her daughter required to be in a wheelchair and ‘had the mental capacity of a seven-year-old,’ however, her claims came into question after a doctor noticed that Gypsy was, in fact, able to walk.
In 2015, after years of living as a sick child with her carer mother, Gypsy asked her boyfriend at the time, Nicholas Godejohn, to murder her mother in her own home, which he complied.
Godejohn was sentenced to life in prison, while Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years for second degree murder and was released 28th December 2023.
After her recent release, she has finally moved into a home in Louisiana with her husband, Ryan Anderson, who she married behind bars in a prison ceremony in 2022.

She told ET: “”Well, Ryan’s from Louisiana, and I’m originally from Louisiana. [When] I saw that, I’m kinda like, ‘Hey, someone from my home state,’ so I wrote him a letter back. We became friends and, of course, more than friends and then now we’re married.”
“It was like integrating into our new life together and just settling into married life,” she shares. “We cooked our first dinner together and, you know, it’s fun. We’re learning about each other. I’ve already told him to put the toilet seat down several times.”
As she continues to build on her new life, she says that although her and Ryan had a connection from the start, ‘around 250’ men wrote to her in an effort to date her.
‘I was just tired of feeling alone,’ she admitted.
As she enjoys being a newly-wed, Gypsy also commented on the prospect of children, saying it’s ‘not out of the question.’
She told ET: “We’re just trying to start off the marriage on a good foot before we bring kids into this situation right now, but never say never.”

Before the death of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard send her then boyfriend Nick Godejohn a chilling video.
After serving seven years of her 10 year prison sentence, Gypsy Rose was released from prison – serving 85 percent of her sentence.
Blanchard’s mother was found stabbed to death in her home in Missouri in June 2015.
The now 32-year-old was initially sentenced in 2016 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in connection to her mother’s death. Godejohn was given a life sentence without possibility of parole.
And in her upcoming series, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, she reveals that she’d filmed a video for Godejohn before the murder of her mother.
Blanchard claimed that her mother had mentally and physically abused her since she was a child.
When taking the stand, she told the court that her mother had told everyone that she was terminally ill and forced her to use a wheelchair and an oxygen tank, and also took her to doctors to be treated for conditions that she did not have, such as leukaemia.
Blanchard says that she was a she was a victim of ‘Munchausen syndrome by proxy’.
According to The Cleveland Clinic, Munchausen syndrome is defined as ‘when someone tries to get attention and sympathy by falsifying, inducing, and/or exaggerating an illness’.
Adding: “They lie about symptoms, sabotage medical tests (like putting blood in their urine), or harm themselves to get the symptoms.
Greene County Sheriff Department
“Diagnosing and treating Munchausen syndrome is difficult because of the person’s dishonesty.”
In the case of Dee Dee Blanchard, experts believe she suffered from the condition but ‘by proxy’ – making her daughter appear to be ill.
After years of the alleged abuse, Blanchard and Godejohn, who she met online, decided on a plan to kill her mother – which she revealed in an interview was the ‘only way out’.
Blanchard says that the video is ‘something I never revealed before to anyone except for attorneys’.
She said: “I made a video for Nick, like a walkthrough of what the house layout looked like, what my mother’s bedroom looked like, because he would be walking into her room in the dark.
“I made the stabbing motion because I was high all of the time on pain pills.
“The side effects of those create this disconnection to reality.”
The footage – which will be shown in the docu-series – even shocked her lawyers at the time.

“One of the things that was presented was this cell phone video Gypsy had taken and it shows her walking through her mother’s bedroom and she points at the mattress and makes a stabbing motion with her hand.” attorney Mike Stanfield said.
“The video, that was a very hard pill to swallow.
“We had no other case to look at, we had no precedent for this and we also weren’t sure that there was even a defense we could raise.
“If we went to trial and we lost, Gypsy would die in prison, she would spend the rest of her life behind bars.”

As she prepares to leave prison, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has admitted she regrets the murder of her mother.
Gypsy, 32, was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to the killing of her mom Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard.
For years, Dee Dee had created the appearance that Gypsy was a terminally ill child, making her use a wheelchair, shaving her head, and forcing her to take medication she didn’t need.
Things came to a head when Gypsy met Nicholas ‘Nick’ Godejohn online. A plan was carried out and Dee Dee was murdered by Godejohn in 2015.
While she was sentenced to ten years behind bars seven years ago, Gypsy is scheduled to be released on Thursday (28 December).
ABC News
Since officials announced Gypsy’s imminent departure from prison, she has spoken about her plans going forward.
In fact, Blanchard recently said how she wants to meet Taylor Swift upon her release from prison on Thursday.
Now, she has opened up in an interview with People on the regret and the remorse she feels towards her mother.
She said: “If I had another chance to redo everything, I don’t know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I’m not sick and mommy makes me sick.
“Or If I would travel back to just the point of that conversation with Nick and tell him, ‘You know what, I’m going to go tell the police everything.’ I kind of struggle with that.
“Nobody will ever hear me say I’m glad she’s dead or I’m proud of what I did. I regret it every single day,” she added.
As Blanchard progressed into her teenage and adult years, her relationship with her mother began to turn violent.
“I tried my best to be respectful but sometimes it was hard. She’d call me things like b***h, wh**e, sl*t,” Blanchard told People.
“It was very similar to a domestic violence type of relationship. As long as you’re complacent everything’s fine. Put your foot down, then it’s bad.”

Her decision to kill Dee Dee came shortly after she planned to run away ahead of a needless procedure on her larynx.
“I just wasn’t having it. [But] she found me, brought me back and put in place paperwork saying I was incompetent and she had power of attorney over me.
“I was trying really hard to figure out another way. That’s when there was a conversation between me and my co-defendant Nick.
“He said ‘I would do anything to protect you.’ I said, ‘Anything?’ He said ‘Yes.'”

In her first TV interview since being released from prison, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has claimed that murdering her mom was the ‘only way out’.
Gypsy, 32, was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to her role in the killing of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard.
For years, Dee Dee had created the appearance that Gypsy was a terminally ill child, making her use a wheelchair, shaving her head, and forcing her to take medication she didn’t need.
Things came to a head when Gypsy met Nicholas ‘Nick’ Godejohn online. A plan was carried out and Dee Dee was murdered by Godejohn in 2015.
While she was sentenced to ten years behind bars in 2016, Gypsy was granted release last month after serving seven years of her sentence.
As she prepared to leave prison behind, Blanchard told People magazine she was ‘ready for freedom’.
“I’m ready to expand and I think that goes for every facet of my life,” she said.
Since being released, Gypsy has bragged about her sex life while also hitting back at ‘jealous’ hate comments criticizing her husband.
Now, the 32-year-old has spoken more surrounding the death of her mother in an interview with Good Morning America.
“I didn’t want her dead, I just wanted out of my situation and I thought that was the only way out,” Gypsy said in the sit-down chat that aired on Friday (January 5).
Despite years of abuse, she added: “I don’t believe my mother was a monster. She had a lot of demons herself that she was struggling with.”

“I share my story to be a cautionary tale so that the next person that might be in a situation like mine, they don’t take the route that I did,” Gypsy said.
While Gypsy is now freed from jail, Godejohn remains behind bars for the foreseeable.
As a result, Gypsy was asked in the Good Morning America interview: “Is it fair that he is incarcerated for life for killing your mum and you’re out?”
She replied: “Well, I’m sure that we both have a lot of regrets. All I can really say is that I did my time, [and] he’s doing his time for his part. And I wish him well on his journey.”
Gypsy claimed she was addicted to painkillers and was high when the murder was planned out.
“I don’t blame drugs. I don’t blame anything. I don’t make excuse,” she concluded.
