Gypsy Rose Blanchard was granted early release from prison after being found guilty of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard’s murder. 2015 saw Gypsy enter a guilty plea to second-degree murder, which exposed a dark plan she and her lover had hatched to put an end to years of torture at the hands of her mother.
Gypsy Rose’s Tragic History
Gypsy Rose, who is currently 32 years old, had a difficult childhood and was subjected to years of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. The abuse consisted of persuading Gypsy that she had serious medical issues, which resulted in pointless procedures and the fabrication of artificial handicap.
Gypsy and everyone around her were systematically persuaded by Dee Dee that the little girl had a variety of serious medical ailments, such as muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, and visual impairments. Gypsy was led to believe that she needed an oxygen tank to survive, was confined to a wheelchair, and reliant on a feeding tube when in reality she didn’t suffer from any of the issues mentioned.
Medical exploitation
By taking advantage of Gypsy’s alleged ailments, Dee Dee contacted multiple physicians and looked for charitable assistance, all the while forcing her daughter to undergo needless medical procedures. Gypsy took medicine, had procedures, and underwent surgery for ailments she never had. Gypsy Rose was always depicted by Dee Dee as younger than she actually was, putting on a front of chronic illness.
Gypsy and her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn planned to kill Dee Dee in an attempt to stop the abuse. With a knife that Gypsy had given Godejohn, Dee Dee was fatally stabbed, and the two ran away.
Early Release and Introspection
Gypsy Rose was able to complete her 10-year sentence in part by taking advantage of her pre-trial confinement period. She apologized in interviews after her release, saying she felt bad about what she had done every day, but she wouldn’t admit that she was relieved her mother was dead.
For his part in the murder, Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy’s lover, was given a life sentence without the possibility of release.
The case exposed the bizarre dynamics of Munchausen by Proxy and the great lengths Gypsy went to in order to break free from her mother’s dominance.With hindsight, Gypsy considers her mother’s illness and regrets it, realizing that Dee Dee should have faced legal repercussions for her behavior. The story is still a horrifying illustration of a convoluted web of mistreatment, fraud, and a last-ditch attempt at liberation.
