Gypsy Rose Blanchard is showing off her post-prison glow up to her over 700,000 followers in a new Instagram post.
The post features a collage of three selfies that see her rocking shorts and a low-cut top, donning blonde hair, tan skin, and manicured nails.
Fans took to the comment section of the racy Instagram post, which was captioned with a single red lip kiss emoji and garnered over 40,000 likes in less than 24 hours, to show their support. One commenter wrote, “Looking fabulous!,” while another wrote, “Looking like a gorgeous Victoria secret model,” comparing the ex-con to a lingerie model.
Blanchard, who is currently pregnant with her first child, is best known for being the subject of the HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest and the Lifetime series Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup.

In 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to second degree murder for her part in the stabbing of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard in 2015, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. She was released after serving 8 years.
For most of her life, Gypsy Rose was subjected to various forms of mental, physical, and medical abuse via factitious disorder imposed on another (Munchausen’s by proxy) at the hands of her mother. The abuse robbed her of most of her adolescence, along with her self-esteem, as she was forced to shave her head and lost most of her teeth due to a salivary gland removal surgery.
These days, she’s enjoying her freedom from both prison by making up for lost time. Her post-prison look includes blonde hair, a whole new set of teeth, a nose job, tattoos, and the ability to experiment with her own personal style that she never had while under her mother’s control – especially since she was confined to a wheelchair for most of her youth.
Blanchard is pregnant with her ex-fiancé and current boyfriend, Ken Urker’s baby. The couple met through a pen-pal program while she was serving her sentence. Since her release from prison, Gypsy and her transformation have been the subject of fascination and scrutiny – from her separation from husband Ryan Anderson to her ever-changing physical appearance.
