Gypsy Rose Blanchard being free will do more good than bad for those suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy -- so says an org focusing on the rare behavioral disorder.

Andrea Dunlop, Founder of Munchausen Support -- the only nonprofit dedicated to helping victims and families impacted by Munchausen by Proxy -- tells TMZ ... she wishes Gypsy healing and peace after everything she went through at such a young age, and can't wait to hear her perspective.

She adds, "While we don't condone her actions with respect to her part in her mother's murder, she has served her time and has every right to share her experience in her own words, and it will undoubtedly shed light on this little understood form of abuse to the millions of people who have been captivated by her story."

Dunlop also tells us Munchausen by Proxy is actually far more common than people might be aware of -- and they think Gypsy's unique POV will actually lead to thousands of others coming forward to share their own stories of survival ... obviously a positive result.

Some of these lesser-known cases are covered in Dunlop's podcast, 'Nobody Should Believe Me,' and the org says more will likely surface now that Gypsy's back on the outside, and ready to share her history with the condition.

Bottom line ... yes, Gypsy did a bad thing -- but now that she's paid her debt to society ... she can clearly become an invaluable resource for others who might be silently suffering in a similar situation.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard siendo libre hará más bien que mal para los que sufren de síndrome de Munchausen por poderes, al menos así lo dice una organización centrada en el raro trastorno de comportamiento.

Un representante de Apoyo Munchausen -la única organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a ayudar a las víctimas y a las familias afectadas por Munchausen por poderes- le dice a TMZ que desean que Gypsy mejore y que tenga paz después de todo lo que pasó a muy temprana edad.

Y añaden: "Aunque no aprobamos sus acciones con respecto a su participación en el asesinato de su madre, ella ha cumplido su condena y tiene todo el derecho a compartir su experiencia. Sin duda esto arrojará luz sobre esta forma poco conocida de abuso a los millones de personas que han quedado cautivadas por su historia".

Continúan diciéndonos que el Munchausen por poderes es en realidad mucho más común de lo que la gente cree, y dicen que la popularidad de Gypsy conducirá a que miles de personas compartan sus propias historias de supervivencia, obviamente un resultado positivo.

Algunos de estos casos menos conocidos están cubiertos en el podcast de la fundadora de Munchausen Support, Andrea Dunlop, "Nadie debería creerme", y la organizacón dice que es probable que más salgan a la superficie ahora que Gypsy está de vuelta en el exterior y lista para compartir su historia con la condición.

En pocas palabras, sí, Gypsy hizo algo malo, pero ahora que ha pagado su deuda con la sociedad, su visibilidad puede ser de gran ayuda para otras personas.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard wants to meet with Kim Kardashian to discuss prison reform ... and while a meeting has yet to happen, we're told Gypsy still wants to pick Kim's brain.

Sources close to Gypsy tell TMZ … she's open to working with Kim and feels they are a good fit because of her experience with the justice system and Kim's work on prison reform.

Our sources say Gypsy thinks Kim could provide guidance on how to navigate her newfound platform on social media, and use her voice to affect real change and advance her advocacy work.

Remember ... Gypsy tweeted at Kim back in November when she was still locked up, thanking Kim for recommending an HBO documentary about her case and saying, "maybe we should unite forces together to make real change with the justice system.

Since Gypsy’s release, our sources say Gypsy has not reached out to Kim and KK hasn't reached out to her ... but we're told the door is open for them to get together in the future.

When Gypsy shouted out Kim on social media, some folks accused her of starving for attention ... but our sources say GRB genuinely wants to use her platform for prison reform, and it's something she's going to focus on as she starts her new life after prison. Kim's one of the few people Gypsy follows, but KK's not following back as of now.

Kim's the one who actually got the ball rolling here ... a few years ago she highlighted Gypsy's 2017 HBO doc "Mommy Dead and Dearest" on a list of true crime documentaries she recommended to her followers.

Gypsy's already seen her plans to see Taylor Swift at a football game fizzle, so it will be interesting to see if she makes something happen with Kim.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard already has a titillating job offer on the table following her release from prison ... a strip club's hoping the ex-con would do her big reveal on its stage.

Dream Girls Detroit fired off a job offer to Gypsy ... the club wants to show it's there to help people who ran afoul of the law post-confinement.

The club's general manager, Dan Wilhelm, says, "We stand in solidarity with everyone who is showing support to Gypsy Rose as she embarks on her new life" ... adding the cash she can make will help her "get the tools needed to be able to live a quality life in the real world."

Job offer aside, Dream Girls is also looking to host a release party for the 32-year-old ... something they're calling "Let's Get Tipsy With Gypsy."

As you know, Gypsy was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Chillicothe, MO early Thursday morning -- and has already spent time shopping for shoes, posting selfies, and celebrating with family.

She's also rented out a cozy Airbnb in Kansas City ... remember, she had tickets to the Chiefs' NYE game and was hoping to meet Taylor Swift, but she was unable to attend because her parole officer told her she had to leave the state.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard tiene una oferta de trabajo excitante sobre la mesa después de su salida de la cárcel... un club de striptease espera que la ex-convicta debute en su escenario.

Dream Girls Detroit le disparó una oferta de trabajo a Gypsy, el club quiere demostrar que está ahí para ayudar a las personas que vienen saliendo de prisión.

El gerente general del club, Dan Wilhelm, dice: "Solidarizamos con todos los que le muestran su apoyo a Gypsy Rose mientras se embarca en su nueva vida", añadiendo que el dinero en efectivo puede ayudarle a "obtener las herramientas necesarias para poder vivir una vida de calidad en el mundo real".

Dream Girls también está buscando organizar una fiesta de lanzamiento para la recién salida de 32 años, algo que están llamando "Let's Get Tipsy With Gypsy".

Como ustedes saben, Gypsy fue liberada del Centro Correccional de Chillicothe la madrugada del jueves y ya ha pasado el tiempo de comprando de zapatos, publicando selfies y celebrando con la familia.

También ha alquilado un acogedor Airbnb en Kansas City, recordemos que ella tenía entradas para el juego de los Chiefs NYE y tenía la esperanza de conocer a Taylor Swift, pero no pudo asistir porque su oficial de libertad condicional le dijo que tenía que salir del estado.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's enjoying a bit of luxury to kick off her new post-prison life at an Airbnb that's pretty modest ... but still a far cry from a cold jail cell.

Gypsy and her husband, Ryan, are staying in a cozy 4-bedroom home in the Kansas City area, and it has everything she needs to adjust to her new normal ... all for $132/night.

The newly renovated home has 2 living rooms where Gypsy can make fresh memories ... as well as a fully equipped kitchen, natural accent lights, and tasteful decor for that homey feeling.

Gypsy and her family will likely add a glowing review for the property ... as it was the perfect spot for a party to celebrate her prison release Thursday following 7 years incarcerated for her mother Dee Dee's murder.

The Airbnb is currently booked out until 5 January -- though it's not clear if Gypsy and her clan made the reservation till then.

We do know Gypsy's hanging around in town until at least New Year's Eve for the Chiefs game ... where she's hoping to run into her idol, Taylor Swift.

In the meantime, Gypsy's making up for lost time ... going shoe shopping, snapping Insta selfies, and hitting up a McDonald's.

Gypsy incluso abrió una botella de burbujas al igual que su marido Ryan.

Como ustedes saben, Gypsy salió de la cárcel en libertad condicional el jueves después de pasar siete años tras las rejas por su condena por el asesinato de su madre Dee Dee.

Gypsy celebró su primera foto en libertad en el pie de foto y sus encantados seguidores la inundaron de comentarios de felicitaciones y mensajes de apoyo.

La selfie claramente está tomada desde la habitación del hotel que comparte con su marido Ryan antes de que se muden juntos, pero a partir de ahora Gypsy se está adaptando a la vida en el exterior, comenzando por comprar zapatos nuevos.

Había sido fotografiada usando calcetines mientras compraba su calzado nuevo, solo horas después de que Ryan la recogiera tras ser puesta en libertad condicional anticipadamente.

Mientras tanto, los fans de Gypsy no tendrán que depender únicamente de su Instagram para saber lo que está haciendo. La chica también tiene un equipo de cámaras documentando todos sus movimientos para una próxima docuserie de Lifetime.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard dice que hubo una artista en particular que la ayudó a superar momentos difíciles entre rejas... Taylor Swift.

Gypsy le dice a TMZ que ha sido una Swiftie desde el principio, siguiendo toda la carrera de Taylor y apoyándose en su música mientras cumplía 7 años de prisión.

La famosa delincuente dice que ella y Taylor han pasado por sus propias épocas, y la música de Taylor la llevó a través de algunos de los mejores y peores momentos de su vida.

Más específicamente, Gypsy dice que las canciones de Taylor fueron de gran ayuda para superar el abuso y el trauma que sufrió a manos de su madre Dee Dee así como su tiempo tras las rejas.

Como informamos, Gypsy gastó el dinero que su padre le envió a la cárcel en los álbumes de Taylor. Nos detallan que ella era capaz de comprar todos los álbumes, incluso sus reediciones.

Gypsy dice que las canciones de Taylor la mantuvieron muy motivada para conseguir su libertad y ahora por fin está en libertad condicional.

Como te hemos dicho, Gypsy espera que pueda conocer a la cantante en el partido de este domingo de los Kansas City Chiefs, puesto que ha estado en su radar por un tiempo y su marido, Ryan, ya compró entradas.

Por cierto, fuentes cercanas a Gypsy nos dicen que ella está considerando darle a Taylor un shout-out en las redes sociales, mientras que en el juego con la esperanza de que Taylor lo vea... algo que Gypsy ve como una posibilidad remota.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says there was one artist in particular who helped her get through tough times behind bars ... Taylor Swift.

Gypsy tells TMZ ... she's been a Swiftie since the start, following Taylor's entire career and leaning on her music while serving 7 years in prison.

The famous felon says she and Taylor have both been through their own eras, and Taylor's music carried her through some of the best and worst times of her life.

More specifically, Gypsy says Taylor's tunes were a big help in getting through the abuse and trauma she suffered at the hands of her mother Dee Dee ... as well as her time behind bars.

As we reported, Gypsy would spend the money her father sent her in prison on Taylor's albums ... and we're told she was able to purchase every album Taylor put out, including her re-releases.

As we've told you ... Gypsy's hoping she can meet her idol at this Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game ... it's been on her radar for a while and her husband, Ryan, already bought tickets.

BTW, sources close to Gypsy tell us she's considering giving Taylor a shout-out on social media while at the game in hopes that Taylor sees it ... something Gypsy recognizes is a long shot.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está disfrutando su primer sorbo de la libertad y una de sus primeras peticiones fue el calzado.

La famosa criminal y su marido Ryan se fueron de compras el jueves, a comprar algunos artículos de primera necesidad, como nuevos pares de zapatos.

Gypsy no está yendo de compras como terapia exactamente, en este caso, parece que realmente necesitaba los zapatos nuevos porque temprano en el día la vimos salir de su habitación de hotel solo con calcetines en los pies.

GRB y su marido han estado paseando en su sedán Cadillac blanco desde que la recogió el jueves temprano tras su anticipada liberación en libertad condicional, y tienen un equipo de cámaras documentando todos sus movimientos para una próxima docuserie de Lifetime.

Con su nueva libertad al alcance de la mano, Gypsy parece súper feliz aquí y tiene más planes en el horizonte, como por ejemplo, tratar de cumplir su sueño de ver a Taylor Swift este fin de semana en el juego de los Kansas City Chiefs.

Lo cubrimos todo en el último episodio de TMZ Verified, disponible en todas las plataformas de podcast.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is getting her first taste of freedom ... and one of her first orders of business is footwear.

The famous felon and her husband Ryan went on a bit of a shopping spree Thursday, buying her some necessities ... like new kicks from a shoe warehouse.

Gypsy's not exactly doing retail therapy here ... she really needed the new shoes ... because earlier in the day we saw her leaving their hotel room wearing only socks on her feet.

GRB and her hubby have been tooling around in his white Cadillac sedan since he picked her up early Thursday following her early release on parole ... and they have a camera crew documenting her every move for an upcoming Lifetime docuseries.

With her newfound freedom in hand, Gypsy looks super happy here ... and she's got more big plans on the horizon ... like trying to meet Taylor Swift this weekend at the Kansas City Chiefs game.

We covered it all on the latest episode of TMZ Verified, available on all podcast platforms.

The home where 4 University of Idaho students were brutally murdered has been demolished ... this coming a year after suspected killer Bryan Kohberger was arrested.

The demo crew got to work early Thursday morning on razing the property in Moscow, ID ... the sun was barely up when demolition began, and the whole front of the building was out of sight in roughly 15 minutes.

The university claimed the demolition could take several days, although the property already looks completely unrecognizable. University officials said the decision to tear it down was an attempt "to decrease further impact on the students who live in that area."

As you know, it's been almost a year since 29-year-old Kohberger was arrested for the November 2022 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, who were all found dead inside the home.

The Goncalves and Kernodle families issued a statement Wednesday, asking the university to wait to tear the building down until Kohberger's trial is completed -- even though a trial date has not been set.

La casa donde 4 estudiantes de la Universidad de Idaho fueron brutalmente asesinados ha sido demolida, un año después de que el presunto asesino Bryan Kohberger fue arrestado.

El equipo de demostración se puso a trabajar temprano la mañana del jueves para arrasar con la propiedad ubicada en Moscú, Idaho. El sol apenas había salido cuando comenzó la demolición y en unos 15 minutos todo el frente del edificio desapareció de la vista.

La universidad dijo que la demolición podría durar varios días, aunque el inmueble ya luce completamente irreconocible. Funcionarios de la universidad dijeron que la decisión de derribarlo fue un intento de "disminuir el impacto en los estudiantes que viven en esa zona".

Como saben, ha pasado casi un año desde que Kohberger, de 29 años, fue arrestado por los asesinatos de Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle y Ethan Chapin en noviembre de 2022, quienes fueron encontrados muertos al interior de la casa.

Las familias Goncalves y Kernodle emitieron una declaración el miércoles, pidiendo a la universidad que espere para derribar el edificio hasta que el juicio de Kohberger se haya completado, a pesar de que la fecha del juicio no se ha fijado.
