What Will ‘The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’ Be About?

According to Deadline, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard will give “unprecedented access” to Gypsy, who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her mother. It is believed that Dee Dee had Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP), a mental disorder that caused her to lie about Gypsy’s age and fabricate her daughter’s various medical issues. Gypsy became a local star and received special treatments because of her alleged ailments, including free trips to Disneyland and having her medical bills paid for by supporters. However, her mother also kept her extremely isolated and heavily medicated.

The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard takes place on the eve of Gypsy’s parole hearing. She tells her side of the story, including her childhood and what led to Dee Dee’s murder. Lifetime’s docuseries also follows Gypsy’s life in prison, featuring her wedding to husband Ryan Scott Anderson.
