Gypsy Rose Blanchard becomes an unlikely TikTok sensation as fans celebrate her impending release from prison by sharing their ‘wishes’ for all the things she will get to do

TikTok users are on the edge of their seats ahead of the release of Gypsy Rose Blanchard after she was convicted in 2016 for her part in the murder of her mother Clauddine.

Commentators on the issue offered up the limitless possibilities that await the 32-year-old once she returns to society after her last day in prison on December 28.

In court, Gypsy had finally admitted her part in her mother's murder. Her then boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, had been the one who committed the crime by stabbing Clauddine in the middle of the night – at the gypsy's request that he do so, with her letting him into their home.

But despite the grisly details of the murder, much of the public sided with Gypsy after it came to light that she had fallen victim to Munchausen Syndrome by proxy.

For more than a decade, the Gypsy's mother had medically abused her only child, pretending to have a litany of illnesses – including leukemia, asthma and muscular dystrophy – and insisting that the Gypsy remain in a wheelchair and have a feeding tube and had to take a series of medications. of medicines.

At one point she also had the Gypsy's salivary glands removed, which eventually rotted her teeth, which were subsequently removed as well. In doing so, she had lied to Gypsy as well as doctors and acquaintances about her daughter's age, causing everyone to believe that she was much younger than she actually was, ostensibly to keep Gypsy under her legal control.

At one point, after Gypsy tried to run away, she recalled in a 20/20 interview that her mother “physically chained me to the bed and put bells on the doors, telling everyone I was there probably trusted that I was going through a phase, and told her if I was doing something behind her back.'

Gypsy's story was brought to mainstream attention by the 2019 Hulu series The Act, starring Joey King as Gypsy and Patricia Arquette as her mother.

While Gypsy accepted a plea deal for second-degree murder for helping facilitate Clauddine's death, Nick was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Since Gypsy was released on parole last September, her fans have celebrated, with many stating that she never “deserved” to go to prison.

In recent months, pro-Gypsy content on TikTok has increased — from users reflecting on their hopes and dreams for Gypsy following her release; to gypsy-centric fan-cam montages; to enthusiastic case updates from true crime stories.

TikTok influencer Noah Miller, for example, shared an excerpt in which he pretended to put on headphones oh Gypsy 'the second' she 'gets out' to introduce her to Azealia Banks' hit 212 (although the single was released in 2012, three years before Gypsy started her sentence) .

“I want her to judge every look from the Met gala,” one commenter wrote on the video.

“She will have to start a YouTube channel and become an influencer IMMEDIATELY,” it said.

In a separate messageNoah also shared a parody list for an imaginary 'Gypsy Rose Release Party', where she was briefed on things like refreshment 'ice cold 4 loko', singer-rapper Ice spice, AI writing app Chat GPT and '10 minute Temu app speed run,” referring to the low-cost e-commerce clothing platform.

Another user named Eli Rallo, via text overlay in one clip, stated, “Everyone has such crazy wishes for Miss Gypsy Rose after her release from prison and I just want her to have the experience of riding on a beach cruiser to her friend's house for a party and a seven minute game of to play heaven. I want her to go to Trader Joe's. I want her to be prom queen. I want her to watch the eras tour film in the cinema.'

On this post, a commenter reiterated, “I want her to experience everything that's normal that she's never experienced… watching her favorite movies, making friends, laughing and having sleepovers, finding love and more.”

Another added: “I want her to be able to order a pizza and eat it while she watches whatever movie she wants, and paint her nails and buy clothes and cry and laugh and finally be FREE.”

A third fantasized: “I want her to text her crush all night while watching sex and the city eating Thai takeaway.”

A fourth joined in the daydreaming, writing: 'I want her to spend all day at the beach and then come home, take a shower, get dressed and go to dinner with her friends.'

Several viral fancams – dramatically edited montages paying tribute to a particular public figure – dedicated to the Gypsy have also gone viral.

One of the most beloved examples involved Gypsy's appearance in court on the witness stand during Nick's trial.

Reactions to this were even more gratifying for Gypsy.

'Queeeennn!!! Take her to a club!!!!' someone begged.

'I hope she has the best life and gets everything she wants. I can't imagine her getting a start in life,” another well-wisher added.

Elsewhere, true-crime account @robandhaley provided an update on Gypsy and her upcoming release date.

This left more of Gypsy's fans advocating for a bright future full of experiences she missed as a child thanks to her mother's abuse.

“If she wrote a book it would be sold out,” one person speculated.

Another confirmed: “I can't wait for Gypsy to finally enjoy her life! I'm happy for her. She deserves the best because she has definitely been through the worst.”
