Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reveals Harrowing Life Story in New Memoir and Documentary Series

Blanchard, who served prison time for her mother's murder, details abuse, deception, and her journey towards a new life.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served eight-and-a-half years of a 10-year prison sentence for orchestrating the murder of her mother, has released a memoir and featured in a documentary series detailing her life and experiences.
In the memoir and series, Blanchard reveals shocking details of abuse by her mother and grandfather, her mother's Munchausen syndrome by proxy, her opioid addiction in prison, and her relationship with her ex-boyfriend who helped her murder her mother.
Blanchard's mother, Dee Dee, forced her to pretend she had multiple illnesses, including leukemia and muscular dystrophy, and subjected her to unnecessary medical procedures and captivity.
Blanchard also reveals that she was taught to shoplift by her mother, using her wheelchair as a tool for deception, and that she was sent to solitary confinement in prison due to a fan's social media post.
Since her release from prison, Blanchard has married Ryan Anderson, a man she met while in prison, and is now seeking therapy and working towards a new life.
