Gypsy Rose Blanchard Released from Prison, Asked to Leave Missouri

Blanchard's hopes of meeting Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game dashed due to security concerns

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served more than seven years in prison for the second-degree murder of her mother, was released on parole on December 28, 2023.
Blanchard's mother, Dee Dee, was believed to have Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a condition where a caregiver fabricates or induces illness in a person under their care for attention or sympathy.
Upon her release, Blanchard was reportedly asked to leave the state of Missouri due to potential security risks her presence may bring to the Kansas City area.
Blanchard, a fan of Taylor Swift, had hoped to meet the singer at a Kansas City Chiefs game but was unable to due to being asked to leave the state.
Blanchard's case gained national attention and was the subject of several documentaries and TV series, including HBO's 'Mommy Dead and Dearest' and Hulu's 'The Act.'
