Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has returned to social media to announce a new career move, which has left much of the internet in a state of confusion.
The now-34-year-old was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to her role in the killing of her mother, Claudine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
Dee Dee had created the appearance that Gypsy was a terminally ill child, making her use a wheelchair, shaving her head, and forcing her to take medication she didn't need.
Things came to a head when Gypsy met Nicholas 'Nick' Godejohn online. As the pair's relationship grew, a plan was carried out and Dee Dee was murdered by Godejohn in 2015, with Gypsy letting him into their home and providing him with the knife he used to stab her 17 times.

While she was sentenced to ten years behind bars in 2016, Gypsy was granted release in December 2023 after serving seven years of her sentence.
Having been 'free' for well over a year, Gypsy has since welcomed a baby girl in December last year with partner Ken Urker - not long after divorcing her now ex-husband Ryan Anderson.
In June, Gypsy completed her parole and is said to have moved in with Urker shortly after, as per a report by PEOPLE.
And having taken a bit of a social media break following online drama with ex-husband Ryan, Gypsy is back with a new career venture.
She made the announcement in a video posted on Instagram and TikTok under the name BlownBeauty Art, with her explaining: "Hi everyone, welcome to my new art page. I’m excited to share my creations with everyone.
"Art is something that I think resonates with a lot of people, because, with abstract art, it doesn’t have to be perfect—and I’ve never been one of those girls that colored inside the lines."
As per Parade, she continued: "So, I’m excited to make something special for everyone. I would love to create pieces for people to bring them joy and happiness; in life, we go through things that sometimes are really hard, so if we could find one thing that brings us peace and centers us inside our soul, then it’s worth doing and sharing.
"So, I am more than happy to share my passion with you guys and I hope you like it."
Many on the internet have been left confused by Gypsy's latest move, while others suggested she should be able to carry on with her life.
One swiped: "As an actual artist and art teacher….I am insulted," as another said: "She NEVER finishes a project THERE IS ALWAYS A NEW CHAPTER."
But one supporter said: "Actually think this is a pretty good idea. She’s trying to earn a living guys. There’s nothing wrong with that."
