Gypsy Rose Blanchard spent eight and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to co-conspiring the murder of her mom, Dee Dee Blanchard, who falsely asserted various severe health conditions, resulting in quite a few unnecessary diagnoses and medical treatments because it was later revealed Gypsy was not ailing.

Reports claim that her mother fabricated her symptoms as she had Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental disorder where a caregiver exaggerates or induces health problems in someone under their care to achieve attention and sympathy.

What Did Dee Dee Blanchard Claim Her Daughter Have?

Gypsy was still a baby when Dee Dee first claimed she had sleep apnea. By the point Gypsy was 8 years old, Dee Dee insisted she had leukemia and muscular dystrophy, requiring using a wheelchair and a feeding tube. Over time, Dee Dee added seizures, asthma, and hearing and visual impairments to the list of medical issues she alleged her daughter had.

After checking out the reality and realizing she didn’t really need the treatments, resembling a feeding tube or a wheelchair, Gypsy felt the one way out was to kill her mom — a plan that she and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, carried out in 2015.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was released on parole in December 2023 after serving 85% of her sentence. Godejohn stays in prison and is serving life without the eligibility of parole.
