Dee Dee Blanchard, Rose Blanchard’s mother, made exaggerated claims about her health as a child, leading to a string of alarming diagnoses and procedures. But Gypsy wasn’t genuinely sick; her mother had been making up symptoms. Specialists surmise that Dee Dee’s actions resulted from the mental disease known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy; wanting to be a caregiver, Dee Dee staged and inflicted illness on her daughter. Only when Gypsy set up an internet boyfriend to kill Dee Dee in 2015 did the truth about Gypsy and her mother surface.
Dee Dee was discovered dead from a stabbing wound at the Springfield, Missouri house she shared with Gypsy. “That b***h is dead!” read a Facebook status update on Gypsy and Dee Dee’s shared profile. Gypsy and her internet accomplice, Nicholas Godejohn, were taken into custody. In the end, Godejohn was charged with first-degree murder and Gypsy with second-degree murder.
Gypsy eventually entered a guilty plea and agreed to serve ten years in prison. She has just recently been released and is now looking forward to a new life.
Dee Dee was sure that her daughter was prone to illness and suffered from a multitude of incapacitating ailments; she portrayed Gypsy Rose to those in her life as a delicate youngster incapable of participating in ordinary social activities.
Due to the way Dee Dee portrayed her daughter’s illnesses, communities, and nonprofits, she rallied around Dee Dee and her daughter as Gypsy Rose providing the family with gifts and services meant to improve their seemingly difficult circumstances.
Her father was prevented from seeing her as reported by ABC News in an interview with her father Rod Blanchard who left Dee Dee before Gypsy was born.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy, also known as artificial disorder, imposed on another, is a mental illness that experts believe Dee Dee experienced. This condition caused her to create her daughter’s illness to get sympathy and attention for caring for a sick child. The medical field verified this information about her condition was true.

She also said Gypsy needed a feeding tube and a wheelchair. Dee Dee continued to detail her daughter’s medical issues, which included hearing and vision abnormalities, asthma, and convulsions.
