Gypsy Rose Blanchard has spoken out about her deep regret and the "lifelong sentence" she faces following her conviction for second-degree murder.

The 33-year-old became a household name after being found guilty of killing her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who had subjected her to physical, mental and medical abuse.

Gypsy's story was widely covered in TV shows and films. Speaking on ITV's Loose Women from the US, Gypsy, who committed the crime with her then-partner, updated viewers on her life since being paroled in late December 2023 after serving eight years behind bars.

"I wish I had gone through other avenues that are forever a lifelong regret, but unfortunately, hindsight is twenty-twenty, so I can't change the past," she said.

When Loose Women's Jane Moore asked if she felt guilt over her involvement in her mother's murder, Gypsy responded: "Of course! Of course, I have to live with that every single day, and that's a lifelong sentence. I might have served eight and a half years in prison, but that is a lifelong sentence for me."

When questioned if she felt there was "no other way out", Gypsy replied: "That is correct, at the time I was very, very sheltered in my life so the avenues in which I cognitively thought to reach out, my mum had told me a lot of lies about my father so I didn't turn to him for help because I thought he didn't love me, that's what my mum led me to believe."

During her emotional appearance on Loose Women, she opened up about her past, saying: "I grew up with a mum that basically made me fearful of strangers so I felt like the only person I could confide in was my co-defendant.

"I wish I would have gone through other avenues; that is forever a lifelong regret, but unfortunately, hindsight's twenty-twenty, so I can't change the past," reports the Mirror.

She continued, expressing her feelings towards her mother: "I never wanted to villainise my mum, I never approved of her being villainized.

"All I ever did was share my story, and unfortunately, the sins of her past put that label on her. I, however, don't feel she was evil."

She concluded with a call for more understanding and support: "I feel like she would have needed mental help and I think with that knowledge, we need to shift the narrative of putting her in a box. I think that more mental health awareness, of Munchausen by Proxy, needs to be advocated for."

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV1
