Gypsy Rose Blanchard has divided fans after making a TikTok post in aid of Mothers' Day.

The 32-year-old posted an eight-minute-long message to her followers on TikTok paying tribute to her mom.

The video, which has been viewed 6.4 million times at the time of writing, has left fans feeling divided over what exactly to make of it given the infamous past between Gypsy Rose and her mom Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.

Gypsy was released from prison just four months ago after serving a seven-and-a-half-year-long sentence for her part in the brutal killing of her mother.

Both Gypsy and her boyfriend at the time - Nicholas Godejohn - had conspired to kill Dee Dee together, with both of them subsequently being jailed for the killing.

For years, Dee Dee had forced Gypsy to pretend that she was terminally ill.

This included shaving her head, making her use a wheelchair, and even administering medications in what has been described as a case of 'munchausen by proxy'.

Gypsy served almost eight years in prison for her part in her mother's death, with Nicholas being sentenced to life for carrying out the murder, so it's perhaps not surprising that people aren't quite sure what to make of her Mothers' Day post.

Speaking on her new social media channel, Gypsy said: "It does not go without notice that my own biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother's Day."

"And what I choose to feel on Mother's Day regarding my own mother is that I think the best of her.

"I think about the good times. I think about her as not what she did to me, but I think about her as a person."

She continued: "Was she a good mom? No. Was she the best mom in the world? No. But she was still my mom so what I choose to feel about her, whether that be guilt, anger, grief, resentment; whatever."

Gypsy, who recently announced her separation and divorce from husband Ryan Anderson, added: "I choose to remember her for the good that was in her heart that I truly believe was there.

"I have been working for years on forgiveness, and I hope that she is in heaven."

Concluding, she said: "It makes you perfect in heaven, so if you take away the mental afflictions that my mother had, then I think what's left is a good person."

People had a lot of takes on the video, with one writing: "She needs to tell this to a therapist, not social media," while another posted: "No words on this one."

And a third commented: "This is one thing she definitely should keep off SM for sure! It’s not going to come out right no matter how she phrases it!"

This comes after Gypsy deleted all of her social media, with her apologizing for a 'lack of accountability'.

She now has new accounts, which she uses to show off her new life - including her recovery from a recent 'post breakup' cosmetic procedure.
