Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Explains Why She Felt She Had “No Other Option” But to Kill Her Mother
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is opening up about the deadly decision that changed her life—insisting she had no choice but to murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
In a recent interview, Gypsy detailed the years of abuse she endured under her mother’s control, citing Munchausen syndrome by proxy as the driving force behind her desperate actions. Dee Dee manipulated doctors, lied about Gypsy’s health, and kept her trapped in a fabricated world of illness and dependency.
“I Was a Prisoner in My Own Life”
Gypsy-Rose described the emotional and physical toll of being forced into a wheelchair, undergoing unnecessary medical treatments, and being isolated from the outside world. Feeling powerless and without a way out, she believed orchestrating her mother’s murder was the only escape from a life of control and suffering.
Now free from prison, Gypsy-Rose is reflecting on her past with a mix of regret and understanding—acknowledging the trauma that led to her fateful choice while advocating for victims of parental abuse.
