Gypsy Rose Blanchard was slammed online after sharing a Mother’s Day post to her TikTok account. While one would think an innocuous post can’t set off the internet, it is essential to note the 32-year-old convicted felon turned internet sensation gained notoriety for her complicity in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, in 2015.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is accused of plotting her mother Dee Dee’s murder in 2015 with her boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, who is currently serving time in prison. Gypsy Rose was reportedly subjected to years of abuse, including unnecessary medical procedures, by her mother, Dee Dee, who had Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s a disorder where a parent or a guardian deliberately induces illness in their child for attention.
Gipsy was sentenced to ten years in prison, but she was paroled out early in 2023 after serving eight years. Since then, she has been turned into a minor celebrity who went on to star in documentaries eliciting the nation’s sympathy for her plight.
