The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard

The documentary itself is awesome. I loved that we got to hear everything from her own words and perspective. A lot of what's in the earlier episodes is public knowledge already. But there are a few surprises in there.

It was interesting also getting a clearer image of what her history not only with her mom looked like but also her other family.

And I feel like the documentary did a good job using other professionals and doctors to back up what was being said.

It's just a massive bummer it's on Lifetime. The whole series is absolutely riddled with ads. To the point where it reminds me why I stopped subscribing to cable. It's seriously a commercial every 3 minutes. If Gypsy decides to do more, I just pray it's through a better streamer than Lifetime 😂

I believe some needs to see this for what it is you are rewarding her for being a murderer and making it ok for her to use people and get over on people. This is a shame..she makes it like she is the victim and wants everyone.to feel sorry for her.you got people on death row do you feel sorry for them. Then she married a man while in prison so she could use him . Now that she is out she does want to be with him why because she no longer needs his money. It's sad that this story is making her out to be a victim when SHE IS A MURDER AND DESERVES TO BE TREATED THE WAY SHE KILLED HER MOTHER. NO MATTER.

This show I feel is prime example of feeding the decay of our morales of humanity. She is literally making a small fortune off this series portrait of her being a justified killer but yet appears as a victim. If lifetime doesn't see a larger can of trouble coming from this they are as nieve as she is . Now people can play the victim and then justify why they kill and also it belittling real victims who suffered abuse with out their payday all because they didn't commit a brutal murder. They are just numbing people of personal responsibility and destruction of a morale society.i hope the might highlight more positive people overcoming being victimized but doing something positive.

A genuinely interesting story whose telling transmogrifies into a painful set of confessionals from the Real World. It's absolutely not a documentary. It is an exhausting, overwrought slog through prison 'romance', in a painful reality television style. Yes - has a really interesting and compelling backstory of the extremes of parental neglect and abuse, tragic consequences, etc. But you end up with so many unanswered questions about the crimes, the people involved and the actual important and relevant facts that it is totally unfulfilling as any sort of storytelling - let alone a documentary. Such a potentially sympathetic person and story squandered.

After discovering this documentary post, "Gypsy's Revenge," I noticed a significant contrast with the film. This documentary, which spans seven episodes and nearly five hours, delves more deeply than the two-hour film, impacting perceptions of Gypsy Rose, Dee Dee, and the numerous adults in their lives who, over twenty-three years, missed opportunities to avert tragedy. This lengthy format is both enlightening and heart-wrenching. Initially, I viewed Gypsy as manipulative, especially involving Nicholas Godejohn in her mother's demise. However, this extensive series paints a fuller picture. Gypsy and Nick, shaped by troubled upbringing, social isolation, and intellectual impairments and challenges, are seen more clearly. Gypsy, in particular, was molded by abuse and trauma, leading to a range of psychological issues and her eventual drastic actions. Her repeated attempts to escape her mother's control before turning to a dire solution are poignant. Given the circumstances, this documentary made me question the fairness of her guilty plea. Dee Dee's abuse, reminiscent of "Misery's" Annie Wilkes, could have spiraled into even more extreme cruelty. Now, as Gypsy Rose candidly addresses her past and expresses genuine remorse, she deserves a chance at normalcy and a joyful life. I'm hopeful she's on that path.
