Awkward moment Gypsy Rose Blanchard corrects The View host after she appears to justify murder

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has clarified that 'murder is wrong' in an awkward moment during her appearance on The View.

Gypsy Rose was recently released from prison after serving eight years of her 10 year sentence for her role in the murder of her mom, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.

Gypsy's then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, is serving a life sentence behind bars after being convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing Dee Dee to death.

Dee Dee had a condition called Munchausen by Proxy syndrome - a mental illness and a form of child abuse - which saw her convince the world that Gypsy Rose had terminal cancer and a whole other range of illnesses, including epilepsy and muscular dystrophy.

She also forced her daughter to use a wheelchair, shaved her head, and even gave her medication she didn't need.

Since her recent release from prison, Gypsy has taken part in numerous interviews - including appearing on The View as part of promotions for her series, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

As well as enjoying her freedom, the now 32-year-old said she wanted to get into advocacy work for other victims of Munchausen by Proxy.

She said on the talk show: “The whole reason that I am doing all of this — documentaries and everything else — is because I know that I have a big platform now. And let’s see what I can do with it.

“I’m gonna try to create some change and be a voice for the voiceless.”

She continued: “If there is someone out there watching right now, please listen to me, heed my words, that you are not alone in this situation. There are other ways out.”

Gypsy noted that she 'did it the wrong way', with host Joy Behar chiming in to say she 'had no choice'.

However, Gypsy appeared to correct her by replying: “I did! I did something wrong and I paid my dues for it.”

In a reference to Dee Dee's murder, Joy quickly replied 'Oh, you mean that part', before Gypsy acknowledged: "Yes, murder is wrong."

Gypsy went on to reveal that with the awful circumstances surrounding her mom's death, she has her own ways of grieving.

She told The View: “What I do on the anniversary is I play one of her favorite songs and I allow myself that time to cry — and I mean bawl, cry.

“I feel like I can’t do it in front of other people because I’m afraid of being judged for it because they’re probably gonna make some snarky comment like, ‘Well, you killed her'.”

She added: "But I’m like, ‘You know? She’s my mom and I miss her. Even though everything that she did to me, she’s still my mother. I spent 24 years of my life with her'."
