The Biggest Bombshell Revelations From ‘The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’ Docuseries

Sexual Abuse Allegations

One of the most shocking revelations in the docuseries didn’t have to do with Dee Dee at all.

Gypsy opened up about a time when she and her mom were living with her grandfather Claude and his wife, Laura. She alleged that Claude “sexually abused” her multiple times in a closet and in the shack behind the house.

“He would perform sexual acts on me,” Gypsy claimed. “He would make me touch him. He would touch me. At 9, I don’t think that I knew that was wrong. But then my grandfather told me not to tell anyone.” She also said that she was finally coming forward with the accusations because she thought it would be “therapeutic” for her.

Claude denied the allegations and said that Gypsy was the one who tried to come onto him. “She would try to touch me and I said, ‘No, don’t do that,’” he claimed. “She was the one that was trying to touch me and I said, ‘No.’ She started that when she was about 4 years old.”

Gypsy was floored by her grandfather’s allegation. “There is no part of me that questions if this happened or not,” she insisted. “This 100 percent happened. He can take it to his grave if he wants, but the one person who’s not going to visit him at his grave is me.”

Drug Addiction

Gypsy opened up about her past struggle with drug addiction in the six episode special. She revealed that she first became addicted to pain pills when she was 16 and admitted that she used drugs to cope during her first few years in prison.

Amid her drug use, Gypsy said she found herself lying to family members so she could get money from them for drugs. 

Today, she is sober. “I’m not that person anymore,” she confirmed.

Runaway Teenager

Gypsy revealed that she tried to run away from home after meeting a man named Dan online. At the time, she was told by Dee Dee that she was 15. However, after finding her Medicaid card and discovering that her real age was 19, Gypsy began formulating a plan to leave home.

She made it as far as hitchhiking to Dan’s home, which is when she found out that Dan wasn’t able to leave the state because he was on parole. Dee Dee wound up finding her daughter and Gypsy agreed to go home with the promise that she’d be able to see Dan again.

According to Gypsy, Dee Dee didn’t keep that promise. She said that her mother chained her to the bed with handcuffs and a leash for two weeks and claimed that she wasn’t fed every day in that time period.

BB Gun Chronicles

Gypsy revealed that she packed a bag to run away a second time but said that her plans were thwarted when Dee Dee found the suitcase. 

After a blowup confrontation, Gypsy grabbed her mother’s gun and started firing at her. “The wounds were superficial,” she shared. “It barely grazed her. That’s when I realized it was a BB gun.”

A Killer Plan

Before the night of Dee Dee’s murder, Gypsy sent her then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn a video of her mother’s room so that he would be familiar with the layout of the house when he came to kill her.

“I made the stabbing motion [on her bed] because I was high all the time on pain pills,” she said. “The side effects of those create this disconnection to reality.”

Living With Regret

Despite the years of abuse that Gypsy faced at the hands of her mother, she admittedly wishes she hadn’t asked Nick to go through with killing Dee Dee.

“I’d do anything to just go back to that moment in time,” she shared. “There was still a point that she didn’t have to die and I wish I could have stopped it.”

She also recalled hearing her mom yell for help while being stabbed. “To this day, I can’t get that out of my head,” she admitted. “And I want to help her but I don’t. I just sit there. I don’t do anything. I just sit there and then I hear her screaming again. Then there was one sharp scream and then it was over.”

Fresh Start

Viewers also got a glimpse into Gypsy’s current relationship with her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson. The two revealed that they met after Ryan wrote to Gypsy in prison and they spent 14 months writing each other letters before meeting in person. On Ryan’s third visit to the correctional center, he proposed to Gypsy.

Gypsy admittedly almost asked her husband to separate about two months after their wedding in July 2022. Their issues began after a fight over Gypsy being in contact with an ex-boyfriend. Instead of ending the relationship, they sought therapy and stayed together.
