Gypsy Rose Blanchard's early release from the Chillicothe Correctional Center came eight years after she pleaded guilty to the murder of her mother. Confirming the release, the Missouri Department of Corrections spokesperson, Karen Pojmann, revealed that Blanchard was granted parole after serving 85 per cent of her original 10-year sentence. 

The actress persuaded an online boyfriend to kill her mother after she had forced her to pretend for years that she was suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy and other serious illnesses. Days before her release, Blanchard shared her remorse, stating, "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."
