Gypsy Rose Blanchard: podcast appearances and interviews

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is an American woman known for her involvement in her mother's murder, which occurred in June 2015 in Springfield, Missouri. She conspired with her boyfriend to have her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, stabbed to death. Gypsy Rose was initially charged with first-degree murder but subsequently pled guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to ten years in prison. After serving approximately eight and a half years, she was released on parole on December 28, 2023. Blanchard's case attracted significant media attention due to allegations that her mother abused her and misrepresented her health, including claims that she was forced to pretend to be disabled and terminally ill. These allegations and her childhood circumstances garnered widespread public interest and prompted coverage across various platforms. During her time in prison, her story was adapted into a Hulu limited series titled The Act, which was released in 2019. Blanchard has also appeared in interviews on television shows such as Dr. Phil, and her story has inspired other programs and media coverage. In 2024, her own reality show, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, premiered on Lifetime, providing a personal perspective on her life following incarceration.
