Former inmates claiming to have spent time behind bars with Gypsy Rose Blanchard have come forward with new stories about the convicted killer.

Tuesday Sparks opened up about her experience with Gypsy after the pair were incarnated together atChillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri.

Gypsy was released on parole in Decemberafter she and her ex-lover Nicholas Godejohn were arrested in July 2015 over the death of her motherClauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.

The couple's 'inseparable' bond ended when Gypsy burst free of her warped mom's control in 2015 by letting her besotted internet boyfriend Godejohn creep into the home she shared with her mother in Springfield, Missouri before he stabbed 48-year-old Dee Dee 14 times.

Godejohn and Gypsy were arrested and sentenced to prison terms, with Gypsy jailed for 10 years for second-degree murder in July 2016 and Godejohn ordered to spend life in behind bars for first-degree murder in February 2019.

Tuesday, who said she was incarcerated from 2018 to 2022, revealed that she was Gypsy's roommate for a time during her stint locked up.

She told viewers online that Gypsy was 'very child-like' while they were together in jail, but she still 'stood for what she believed'.

She said:'Not saying she was a bully by any means, but when she was being treated unfairly, she definitely spoke up on it.'

The felon explained that in prison Gypsy enjoyed doing her hair, skin care and makeup, and that she 'loved having her picture taken.'

While Tuesday described the Gypsy she knew in prison in a favorable light, other girls have come out to say they also served time with her, but weren't as positive about their experience.

The alleged cellmates, who posted videos online but did not give their names, made claims that Gypsy 'bragged about' her role in her mom's death.

'She literally bragged about giving the knife to Nick in there,' one cellmate said.

According to a probable cause statement, Godejohn told police that Gypsy asked him to kill her mother and that she hid in the bathroom while he stabbed the woman.

He stabbed her in the back while holding her face-down on the bed.

Police believe the knife was given to him by Gypsy. The pair then mailed the murder weapon to his home in Big Bend so that he wouldn't be caught with it.

One said she 'did not care about' Godejohn and claimed 'her stories changed all the time'.

Tuesday however seemed to be more understanding about Gypsy's circ*mstances, saying she'd told her 'she felt more freedom in prison than she had ever felt.'

She said: 'Gypsy did not ask for any of this, she did not ask for her case to be made famous, she didn't ask for people to be following her around, she didn't ask for there to be a camera outside the prison when she was let out- she didn't ask for any of that.

'Nothing in her life was normal, ever, from a very young age. So, I think she definitely acted irrationally, but it's what she's seen her whole life.'

Gypsy commented on Tuesday's video and showed appreciation for her viewpoint.

'FINALLY words from someone who ACTUALLY knew me in prison. So many want to slander my character out to simply be recognized. Tuesday, thanks girl for telling the truth,' Gypsy responded.
