Gypsy Rose Blanchard makes social media debut: 'I'm finally free'

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is using social media to document her life after prison and to share what she has in store.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's image has been outside of her control for much of her life, whether from her mother presenting her as a sick child or the array of productions and publications that have chronicled her story over the years.

But since her release from prison on Dec. 28, Gypsy is finding her own footing in the public's eye for the first time with a social media presence.

A smiling mirror photo marked the 32-year-old's first personal foray onto Instagram the day after her release. Including the caption, "First selfie of freedom!," the picture has amassed more than 6.2 million likes in three days.

Then Gypsy's first time actually speaking out since her release came by way of social media on Sunday, garnering 20.5 million views on Instagram and 17.2 million on TikTok.
