Gypsy Rose Blanchard has officially been released from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center.
The 32-year-old was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of her mother, but only served 85% of her sentence.
In 2015, Gypsy Rose Blanchard pled guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard.
Before her death, Clauddine was suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Gypsy Rose spoke to People before her release and told the publication that she was "ready for freedom".
"I'm ready for freedom. I'm ready to expand and I think that goes for every facet of my life."
Gypsy Rose also revealed that she doesn't believe her mother deserved to be killed.
Gypsy Rose said she should've been sent to prison for what she did to her.

"She was a sick woman, and unfortunately I wasn't educated enough to see that. She deserved to be where I am, sitting in prison doing time for criminal behavior," Gypsy Rose said.
Her mother lied about Gypsy Rose's mental and physical health for years.
She claimed her daughter had leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and asthma. She also said Gypsy Rose suffered from seizures, claimed she couldn't walk, and also said she had hearing and vision issues.
Gypsy Rose was forced to use a wheelchair and a feeding tube, despite not needing either of them.
Her former boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard.
He stabbed her mother multiple times at their family home, but Gypsy Rose hid in the bathroom during the murder.
