The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard

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.

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.

GR is not deserving of the attention which she is thriving in for personal gain,versus a therapeutic & redemption approach.

Why did they(courts & so forth)allow someone such freedom? She is on parole not probation for early release,which means her sentence wasn't/isn't fully completed.. I've seen those with minor crimes get less liberties,until they prove acclimation into society with time is proven.

To all those letting her act so foolish like the world owes her don't act surprised,when she does anything that puts her back in the system.

If she was volunteering or giving back in some way although it would still take awhile for others to trust her,it would show that she walked away healthier instead we are watching a younger version of her mom unfold.

She actually feels her story is hers alone,she's the only person ever parental abused. If she feels threatened your story could take her spotlight that person/social account,faces being bullied by her or a supporter.

Her mom never was diagnosed officially with MBP it was a defense tactic her lawyer used to help,so GR now uses that only to her advantage.

I'm sure some not all she dealt growing up was bad as claimed,however she played a huge part in killing someone.. It wasn't self-defense versus premeditated,so feel her sentence should of been the same as Nick.

I can't believe her PO allows all they do,makes me think they got paid off or something.. Again she did not serve her full sentence & got early release,therefore why isn't she needing stricter guidelines?

Examples: Continued travel,changing appearance,relationships,social media & more!

She's dangerous & is being given,too much freedom without consequences to harm or perhaps kill again.

Feel worried if she has a child needing attention or makes her feel not free & so forth.. She will approach it negatively,she doesn't have appropriate life skills.

Those giving support calling her queen,etc.. Are not looking at facts,but variety of movie/series "interpretations"instead.

If there was anybody who perfectly fit such a term"Grifter"her/family is that,you can only do shady things or play victim so many times.. Why GRB is a walking time bomb caught in only fantasy wants & desires,anyone dare make her accountable to daily or mundane responsibility she retreats into excuses while hurting anyone along the way.

Shame on you.. Lifetime! Do better give more focus & financial incentives.. For true victims or those,trying to do good for others.. You have given this narcissistic person,way more than 15 minutes-Move on!

It's tragic what happened to this young lady, her mother definitely abused her and her trust. That being said, she IS a murderer and a manipulator and used that horny, slow boy as a weapon. Now he's serving life and she's making a show about getting married to some Easter-egg of a human? Let's not forget, this guy is the exact same as those sad women who write fan mail to serial killers.

I watched the entire series just to see if there was anything new they would convey. If you're wondering, there's not. It's 6 episodes of "I killed my mother, BUT.." the whole thing puts me in mind of the self-serving Casey Anthony "special" that came out a few years ago. It's a desperate attempt to hold on to the fleeting 15 minutes for a despicable act.

This girl was abused, no argument. But rather than go to the authorities or any number of people on the planet, she chose to USE some rando in the internet to do her dirty work. The only reason the prosecutor cut her the deal is because they knew when she got in the stand and boo-hooed in her little girl voice the jury might have found her not guilty so they figured some prison is better than no prison.

In reality, she deserves to spend her life behind bars, not getting married and doing book signings. Does this little killer realize she's not "free"? She's on PAROLE!

Gypsy Rose Blanchard did not have cancer, or any other disease her mother claimed she had. She was a victim of her mother's cruel manipulations and Munchausen by Proxy (now called "Fictitious Illness Imposed by Another"). But make no mistake - as the documentary reveals - she is still a very sick woman.

Lifetime devotes gallons of hours to interviews of her explaining her life and abuse, as well as a very dull last 2 episodes about her prison dating and marriage. There's no real fact checking, no real lens or questioning, just her framing her narrative. The whole thing is massive manipulation allowed to run wild.

Through no fault of her own, Gypsy Rose was forced to living as a perpetual sick child. But after 8 years in prison, she still spins stories and narratives that serve her needs, not essentially the needs of the truth or mentally healthy thought. She's still the fairytale loving free spirit child, except she's in prison for murder. (shhh, we're supposed to forget that part).

She doesn't need to "tell her story" - she needs intensive psychotherapy and some years in healthy normalcy. She's got a head full of messed up ideas about everything from what love is to what accountability means. Her equally immature "husband" (now ex-husband) is another sad case of a man with no real world experience who is dating a captive girl and fantasizing about a relationship that isn't' really there.

Giving her a platform (compete with manipulative dreamy shots of her walking alone on a prison yard and sitting in a prison doorway as the rain falls around her) isn't the cure she needs. A halfway house, a job, and therapy is the cure she needs.

The real hero of this whole story is Kristy Blanchard, her stepmother, who patiently hopes for her, prays for her and gives her solid advice. She's gone way out of her way for a child who was never hers, and she is the only one in this story who has earned a right to be heard.

This whole series is overly long, incredibly slow and grating, and just really a sad cash grab on a story that is as compelling as it is horrible.

It doesn't come to any kind of conclusion. After episode 6 it just stops. Which is fitting, because this story is never going to end. Gypsy Rose is going to go from show to show, podcast to pulpit telling it over and over, with her sing-song narrative and "Dreams come true" finale. She's gone from her mother's prison, to actual prison, to the prison of media attention. From the day she and her boyfriend killed her mother, she's getting better press. She's just not getting better.
