Gypsy Rose doesn't believe she should serve as many years as she's been sentenced in jail

Gypsy Rose has spoken out in a Dr. Phil interview about her feelings surrounding her sentence and spending it in jail.

The TikTok video sees the pair talking in a simple prison setting with Gypsy Rose no longer sporting the shaved head she did when the crime was committed.

Instead she is wearing makeup and has her hair styled, despite the brown prison uniform.

Dr Phil begins asking Gypsy Rose what plea deal she took to which she answers: "10 years incarceration for second-degree murder."

When asked if she believes that she should be in prison she answers: "To be honest, I have complicated feelings about that. I believe firmly that no matter what murder is not okay.

"But at the same time, I don't believe I deserved as many years as I got."

Dr. Phil questions her further about her involvement in her mother's murder: "But for you initiating the sequence of events she would still be alive?

"So in that sense you are responsible for her death? What would be a just punishment?"

Gypsy Rose agrees that she is responsible and answers: "I'm not really certain on that. I do believe that I do deserve to spend some time in prison for the crime, but also, I understand why it happened and I don't believe I'm in the right place to get the help that I need."

When asked why she wanted her mother dead at the time she said she isn't glad that she's dead but: "At the time I knew I was being abused but I didn't know exactly what kind of abuse it was.

"I just knew that I wasn't allowed to do a lot of things and my mother was the reason.

"She would force me to be in a wheelchair and forced me to go to doctors appointments that I didn't need.

"I just wanted that life to stop. Ultimately I didn't want her dead, I just wanted that life to stop and that life to be dead."

Reactions were mixed with one user saying in support: "She shouldn't be in jail at all. I think she should have gotten psychological help and not jail."

While others commented on her appearance: "It's crazy but she looks so healthy in this interview."

Gypsy Rose was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in 2016 following the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who had been found murdered at her home in 2015.

Gypsy Rose was nowhere to be found at the scene, which caused neighbours to raise concerns, after previously being told by Dee Dee that Gypsy Rose suffered with health issues and had the 'mental capacity of a seven-year-old'.

Police found Gypsy Rose in Wisconsin without the wheelchair or medications she supposedly needed.

It was later discovered that she actually didn't have any of the physical and mental health issues Dee Dee had claimed.

The murder investigation to follow revealed that Gypsy Rose had convinced her then boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to come to her house and kill her mother after being subjected to years of both physical and psychological abuse.

Godejohn was later charged and convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, while Gypsy Rose began a 10-year, second-degree murder sentence.

Gypsy Rose is now 31 and could be released before her sentence ends as she's eligible for parole at the end of this year.
