Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up is a true crime television documentary series that explores the life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, following her release from prison. Gypsy Rose became widely known after her involvement in the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, a case that attracted national attention and highlighted the rare psychological condition known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The documentary series covers Gypsy's life after serving her prison sentence.
Background
[edit]Gypsy Rose Blanchard was the victim of years of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Dee Dee fabricated illnesses, confined Gypsy to a wheelchair, and subjected her to unnecessary medical treatments and surgeries. This abuse continued until Gypsy and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, conspired to kill Dee Dee in 2015. The case garnered widespread media attention and became the subject of multiple documentaries, including HBO’s Mommy Dead and Dearest and the dramatized Hulu series The Act (2019).
Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Nicholas Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Throughout her time in prison, Gypsy expressed relief at being freed from her mother’s control, and her story sparked debates around the complexities of abuse, coercion, and justice.
