The documentary promises to “reveal a Gypsy Rose that the world has not seen before”.
In June 2015, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was arrested with then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn in connection to the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.
An investigation later found that Gypsy had suffered years of Munchhausen by proxy abuse, and that Dee Dee had convinced her daughter since childhood that she had a disability and multiple health issues.
Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 in a plea deal and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Godejohn, who carried out the stabbing while Blanchard hid in a bathroom, was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The case since become the subject of a HBO documentary, Mommy Dead and Dearest, as well as an eight-part drama series on Hulu titled The Act, starring Joey King as Gypsy Blanchard.
And now, following Gypsy’s release from prison after serving seven years of her sentence on 28th December 2023, a brand new documentary, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, has been released on Lifetime in the US.
