The fact she looks healthier after prison versus under the care of her mother shows how bad the abuse was
Why isn’t this comment higher? Such a good point!!!!!
#facts
I remember her saying she felt more free and safe in prison than she’s ever felt. It helped her escape the hell she was in. I hope she is now at peace and has a positive outlook on life. She deserves it!!
true facts😮
Right??
Asking a girl who lived under daily abuse why didn't she just "get up and walk away" is simply wretched
Agree.
Especially since she did try to escape, but DeeDee always dragged her back
well she's an interviewer & asking the questions the public wants to know in simple ways. We know victims of abuse cannot simply "leave" for many reasons - but that wouldn't make for an audience grabbing interview
Agreed
Totally wretched and so far removed from trauma-informed language. Why this kind of question is asked of anyone that has been a victim/recipient of abuse is sooooo terrible!
What this girl went through was torture. The fact that she was in prison all these years and looks healthier then in her mother’s care speaks volumes.
Well said agree 💯 👍👍👍
"Why didn't you just get up and walk away?" Tell me you don't know how abuse works without telling me you don't know how abuse works. 🙄
I live with epilepsy every day due to the beatings my grandmother dished out. She was BRUTAL. I understand being afraid of telling people. I could have told my Dad, as it was his mother who was bashing me, always on the head, as bruises are not noticeable under hair. I was afraid he wouldn’t believe me. I was 15 years old when my grandmother went to bash me, and I caught her hand. I squeezed her hand as hard as I could. I looked at her, squeezing her hand, and I’m nearly 6’ tall, so for a female, I’m fairly strong. I saw her face and all the realisation that I could really hurt her. I let her hand go….. I got my clothes, and I left. I was 15. There are other options. My grandmother died a natural death years later, and I attended her funeral. I don’t hate her. I just don’t feel anything for her.
In the end she put on the act and loved the attention. She conned an autistic kid with actual mental illness into loving her and murdering her mother, while having sex in the house afterwards. She's a 2nd degree murderer no matter how you slice it. Not a hero. If she was a guy she would still rot in prison. Her bf who she talked to online is for life for murder. Gypsy should still be in prison. I don't care how psycho her mother was. Alot of kids tell on abuse. She loved the attention. And now she's married, a star, and the dude in prison for her mother's murder still says he loves her. He's on the spectrum. She is normal.
Exactly 💯💯💯💯
She did tell someone and the mom still won
I was abused for 15 years and I understand it’s the reporters job to do this
We need to find those doctors who are STILL OUT THERE who performed unnecessary surgery on a child!!! They need to be held accountable!
Please stop blaming the Drs. If you actually do some research Gypsy’s father has explained what Deedee did to fool the doctors and it’s terrible. She was having Gypsy digest things to make it look like she had something. She even had a cream applied inside her mouth to explain her saliva!
These doctors were tricked and there are many in the HBO documentary who did question her but she moved on as soon as she was asked questions that seemed suspicious. Drs go off what they are told. I have a medical condition and my dr has to rely on what I tell him and the tests that indicate to him what is going on.
Drs are trained to look for abuse that is physical and MBP is extremely difficult to diagnose and needs careful monitoring. Even then it can go horribly wrong. Look at the take care of maya case. That was so tragic and could have been avoided. But the reason they did what they did, not that it is right or any excuse, but it’s because of people accusing them of things out of their control like Gypsy’s case. So now they have gone too far the other way and it ended with a women, a mother taking her own life.
Gypsy did suffer but the only person who is to blame is her Mother. No one goes after her father who was in contact with them. He could have sent welfare checks by cps or made a surprise visit. I’m not blaming him because he did do the best he could with what he had as did the Drs.
So please, before you attack the drs, remember that they had a job to do and they had to deal with just as much manipulation and deception as everyone else that was a part of Deedee’s life. She is the only one who caused this and did this. She proved over and over she would continue to go town to town, state to state to find someone to believe her lies. I understand it’s hard to imagine trained drs not seeing what we see now but none of us were in those examination rooms and none of us know what things she did to make it look like Gypsy was sick. Not to mention the threats people use like I’m going to sue you or call the media if you don’t help me.
They are put in impossible situations by monsters like Deedee. They have to live with the knowledge now of all this and that must be horrible to know you could have helped and you never got the chance. Deedee left no forwarding address or took medical records with her when she left drs. Place the blame where it belongs. With Deedee Blanchard. Thank you.
That's soooo true!!!!!
I agree
....you will not find them! Trust me...
EXACTLY
WHY would a Dr or any medical facility do any of this to a healthy young girl?!? They should also be held accountable. Sickening.
Money. Thats all most care about.
No medical records so how much is actually true they are professional con artists FFS
That’s what I always wondered.
Exactly!
Well her mom would switch Doctor's constantly, when one Doctor would figure out what was happening she'd move Gypsy to another one. A lot of Doctor's reported Gypsy's mom once they figured out what was happening. If I remember correctly a few testified and one clearly knew something was wrong right away when he noticed muscle development in Gypsy's legs.
The fact that her ex boyfriend, who was manipulated, try to saved her from her mothers abused… etc. Have to be in prison for the rest of his life and she got out after only 8 years, got married and have a “celebrity new life”, speaks volumes to me. Why she got out after 8 yrs and the guy is rotting in jail… why!!!!? There’s no justice, she got her problem resolved, spend couple of years in prison and got a “new opportunity” in life … but; what about him!? We will never know the truth, none of us was there and I feel , she participated 50/50.
Agreed 👍💯
I agree
I totally agree with you! I feel like she scacrified his life for her freedom.
I know she had a very difficult life under the influence of her mother, but still she was able to manipulate him into actively killing the mother.
If she committed herself the murder, she would have probably been sentenced with all the extenuating circumstances
YUP DEFINITELY agree..he DID "save her" n he just gets F*CKED for it..she should help HIM somehow..put money on his sh*t or SOMETHING
After everything she has been through since a child.. she became to be an intelligent, well-spoken and emotional stable person. We can’t judge her past cause she didn’t know better after having a sick life. You can tell how she expresses herself, her body language and how she doesn’t have any problem to express her past, feelings that she did overcome her mistakes and become a good human being.. she didn’t have that choice before. Good for her, she deserves to have a chance to experience what is a normal life. 👏🏼
@karlwithak.I will Jaywalk you to prison if you don't stop victim blaming. What's the matter with you ?
Until she has her second psychotic break! That will happen when her newly found star status disappears...she will want to be famous again. She is broken and always will be. I was severely abused too and I didn't ask anyone to shoot my parents!
But she's a murderer
@@sugarsundae3400threats against others is a crime.
She’s a murderer and manipulator, she learned from a pro! How do you lose track of your birthdays? She’s a con artist who’s made millions off her crimes!
She was severely emotionally and psychologically abused by her mother. She appears to be so clear-headed and healed. I wish her the best.
Me too
Emotionally, psychologically and PHYSICALLY abuse by her mother. After all that is amazing she became this young brilliant woman.
I totally agree!
Physically the most. She had surgeries she did not need. The medicine etc... Gypsy is very honest. She understands life now.
I'm not sure I agree that she is clear-headed and healed. She is oddly disconnected.
She's so well spoken. After all she went through, it was refreshing to see her free and happy.
Nah. She had her mother murdered. Get a grip
I’m so happy for her anyone that feels otherwise wouldn’t last a day in her shoes 💔
@@AttackOnSocietyMy biological parents were horrible people. Unless you have been what she went through as a CHILD...shut your pie hole!!!!
@@AttackOnSocietygen z is stupid. They believe a 4 year age gap is a pedophiles but praise murderers.
Came here to say the same. So impressive how well spoken she is.
I won’t lie, I was skeptical about her release because I did not know WHO she was. However, after watching this interview, she has grown so much and she looks amazing. She holds herself well and conveys herself well. It’s like she wasn’t even in prison. Her husband sees like a great dude and you can tell that they really love each other. It’s really impressive and I’m very very happy for her.
Sorry, but l disagree about the new husband. He seems like an utter 'goof' and gives off very odd vibes. I would be wary of him. And her. Two narcissistic psychopaths into being rich & famous.
That is because she is a narcissist. She is definitely on the clusters B spectrum. She had to act her entire life and is continuing to do a great job. She is holding it together because she has no emotions. She is not someone I would become friends with...yikes!
@@EnchantedExpeditionsNLthat's exactly how i see it like wtf, she's not all there, i definitely wouldn't be friends with someone like that bet u anything theres alot she's not saying
@@alexpadilla9704 Absolutely!
are you serious? you're genuinely a horrible person for not wanting to be friends with someone who went through 20 years of abuse and trauma. id be killing my abusers after only five years of abuse like tf?? @@EnchantedExpeditionsNL
She had the most shocking story imaginable, it's almost impossible to listen to . Her spirit is incredible , and she looks amazing.
It’s amazing that she is as healthy physically as she is after being forced to take all those unnecessary drugs and undergoing all those unnecessary treatments.
She was incarcerated for years. I believe her body had a good detox. I know crack heads that’s been smoking for years out living the youth out here dying by the thousands everyday
She definitely has some permanent damage from it but for the most part she's doing healthy
She seems centered, well spoken, and honest. Unlike her Mom. I get the mental health aspect and am so sorry for all that she went through. Prayers for this family. God Bless
Agreed. I dont understand how the doctors didn't catch any of this though especially in the beginning, before there was a list of fake health issues... 😕
I was thinking the same. I'm stunned she isn't actually ill with the procedures
How many times does she have to explain this? The things she went through are unimaginable. Her mother never left her side once for twenty years and listened to everything she said and watched everything. Her perception of reality was so warped. She’s claiming responsibility and knows what she did was wrong.
Asking her these questions in interviews allows her to explain herself to everyone.
she's the one who agrees to do interviews.
@FionaBorgiaVandenheuvelGoode Why do people who know absolutely nothing insist on commenting like they do????? Did you watch the HBO Or Hulu series? No you didn't or you would know her mother took pills to sleep every night which is when Gypsy used a laptop to set up a dating profile to meet someone and how she communicated with him until she stole money from her mother to get a cell phone she also managed to keep hidden from DeDe. Yet reaching out to her dad somehow never crossed Gypsy's mind? And look at all the press she is doing now and all the stories/pictures she has agreed to do. She is making a fortune off of a crime and will never have to work a day in her life. That is exactly what her mother did. You see Gypsy "claiming responsibility" while those of us with functioning brains see her calculating & working the system, again, just like her mother did.
It's called media get of you tube if it disturbs you
@@carolaguilera6911Mental deficit alert 🚨
Her story makes me so sad; I get choked up when I hear her talk about the things she went through. I feel bad for her that she had go through everything she did. I give it to her that she knows what her and Nick did was wrong and that she felt it was her only way out. It's just horrible that she had to suffer at the hands of her mother's mental illness. She is lucky to be alive though, many victims of people with her mother's mental illness don't live to talk about it.
@@karlwithak.
You're ridiculous.
@@lovingmayberry307her mother was also ridiculous
It blows my mind that she actually is famous for her crime, I feel sorry for this world
I totally agree with you, she should never be able to make money off being involved with the murder of her mum, she was more involved with the killing that she wants to let on. Many people have had severe childhoods and traumatic stress and gone onto killing their parents, have they been aloud to be free from prison and make money from it? Answer is no. She shouldn’t be made out to be a celebrity and earn millions. It’s a disgrace
Agreed!
Yeah , literally
I feel sorry for her ex
We failed her. As an abuse survivor, you lose faith in any outside help real fast.
So true
❤ head up we are all out there praying & understanding from distance & familiarities but we are not alone & the healing ain’t easy. Ignore those judging… a lot were abused too & haven’t had that moment we’ve all had where it clicked & where we realized healing would return our power. I’ll be there for them too but they gotta be ready to start healing. ❤
Specially when everyone fails you, when no one does a single thing. When you see people that could actually do something, but chooses not to
Lol
I mean she got her boyfriend to kill her mom, and then abandoned him even though he was pretty messed she kinda pushed him into the situation, and then left him. If I’ve learned anything people were right when they tell you don’t be a hero, cause clearly it didn’t pay off for everyone.
Dee dee was a complete monster. What Gypsy did was totally wrong, but dang...removed her salivary glands, teeth, and had a fedding tube installed?! So unreal.
On mommy dead and dearest Deedee’s parents said she poisoned her mother and opened credit cards under everyone’s names her parents flushed her ashes down the toilet they think she got what she deserved
How the help was it totally wrong? You either kill or get killed
@@haleyrsm I haven't watched that yet, I will have to check it out. That sounds wild, but it also tracks with DeeDee's history
@@hellobye7697 well for starters, she did prison time for it, so she obviously didn't do the right thing...but I do see why she felt there was no other way out.
She also forced her to a wheelchair and forced her to speak in that high voice. Not to mention the countless times she drugged her before doctor’s appointments or company.
She had her mentally impaired boyfriend kill her mother for her. Her mother was sick and predatory but she acted to kill and now she is free while her now ex is in prison for maybe life. Bro got screwed.
No, the boyfriend was a freak and offered. He had previous charges. Stop babying that predator.
No actually Gypsey asked john to kill her mum, learn the facts!!
@@GG-kn2sewhat matter if he had previous charges? She is the mastermind of the plan loool
Her mother was unfathomably evil. I am not so sure this girl is ok. The brain development damage takes years to heal if ever
How could the medical community have fallen so deep into all the BS?
Her mom was an LPN (step below RN with 2 year degree + continuing education yearly) so it made for the perfect storm.
And, as a Louisiana native who also survived Katrina I can say that it was "the perfect storm" for DeeDee. So many of us struggled for YEARS to recover lost records that I can see how she used this to her advantage. The DRs in Missouri were beginning to suspect something was amiss but every time they tried to get an accurate medical history, DeeDee would hand them her own documentation of Gypsy's "illnesses" . Also, according to Rod Blanchard (Gypsy's dad) every time DeeDee would encounter resistance from the medical community she would just move herself and Gypsy to a new address and seek out new doctors. The woman really was an all around con artist. Even Gypsy's name ... Look up Gypsy Rose Lee, Baby June and their mother Rose. It is basically a blueprint for how DeeDee raised her daughter and it gives me chills. I think DeeDee was well aware of the original Gypsy Rose Lee and thought she was being super clever by giving her daughter that name..
@@christinerobbins9376I just found out through this case that Katrina messed up records for prisoners as well. Some innocent people were stuck in the system for several years. Terrible for a lot of people.
The medical community is a joke thats how.
I agree wtf
It’s crazy how good she is in front of cameras and at interviews. She expresses herself perfectly. You’d swear she has been doing this for years but obviously hasn’t.
Uhmm wired
Media training 🙃
She was in the media a few times as a kid. It was one of the ways her Mom exploited her.
All that prison time she knows exactly what to say
Definitely had media training from Lifetime + therapy talk
Horrible questioning.
Why didn't you.? How come you didnt speak up.? Why didn't you walk out.? You, you, you.
What about why didnt the Doctors noticed red flags. How come no one followed up.
EXACTLY wtf is this interviewer doing
I wish her the best. My heart goes out to her. She suffered at the hands of her mother. Someone who should have protected her.
This girl has been performing for her whole life. In front of doctors, teachers, etc. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation or a performance. It seems like the media is happy to step in where her mother stopped - she is still being the "perfect girl" for the cameras. She knows exactly what is expected of her, and she performs flawlessly. I wish she would stop, for her own sake, and just enjoy her life for awhile.
Damn good point
I agree. Unless she wants too
capitalizing on her story is her job currently, she got a book and a TV show and they're asking her to promote it, won't be forever
Seems the norm for the media these days.
@@BeaCastExcatly, all killing stories I swear you never hardly ever see or hear about good hearted stories
What’s crazy is that she went to jail for saving her own life, she got 9 years for protecting herself from her own mother. What her mother did to her is insane. And she was punished even more
She manipulated her boyfriend to kill her mother... The guy will spend the rest of his life in jail and she's free..
People who have never been abused tend to have no empathy for victims. I learned this the hard way. They just don’t understand and so they think it must be our fault, or that we’re being too sensitive. Which funnily enough is exactly what the abusers say.
I agree. I also think that the doctors who put this girl on medications and went so far as to install a feeding tube should be held accountable for malpractice.
Agree. It’s like punishing someone for
Killing their kidnapper.
Honestly there is some positive outcomes when she went to jail, she said it "freed her" and im glad for her
OMG can not believe how all those procedures were allowed by doctors....???? They perform tip to toe checks, did not they see anything? How about teachers, relatives? Shock
She testified against her boyfriend for a lighter sentence.
So should Nick be seen as a Hero since she told Nick she was a victim? Also, Nick looked as if he had mental illness too so I wonder why would he not be offered mental health treatments?
Commit a premeditated murder and the world justifies it. She sat on 20/20 like an intelligent woman as said she did her time and Nick needs to do his.
She was soooo in love with Nick and convinced this man to commit a murder. Then when they sentenced Nick she abandoned him.
She took $4000 out the house and sold Nick a dream ...smh... She learned it from her mother
I don't know what to think...smh...
She testified against someone for killing her mother, after she quite literally asked him to kill her mother?
I'm not sure how she testified but I can see that they both told the truth about what happened and the court decided what their sentence should be. I feel like that's what she was saying, it wasn't her job to speak on it. She stopped him from adding raping her mother into the plan, before he killed her, and agreed to give him sex the way he wanted after he killed her instead. This is complicated but our justice system made the choices for their sentencing, not Gypsy. She is a different person after that time in prison, she didn't just walk away and leave Nick. They had a toxic relationship together (which included murder) that would not be appropriate after her healing.
I watched my dad beat and yell at my mom for 21 years. He threatened to kill her & take me to Mexico. He made me a child slave with nonstop chores. Sunday was my only day off. He kept 3 shot guns in his office. We were in the country & sheriff responses were 1-2 hours. Neighbors too scared to call police on my dad. There were times it crossed my mind to grab one of those shotguns when my mom was being beaten. I truly understand Gypsy.
Just think, you could have found a Forrest Gump type online and started dating him, convinced his feeble mind to kill your dad, had sex with him in your dads bed immediately afterwards, posted your glee online, had your boyfriend bear the brunt of the responsibility and spend the rest of his life in jail while you take a break in prison for 8 years, then got out while you were still young to garner all the attention, fame, and cash they can throw at you and live happily ever after. Boy are you a sucker!
Really sorry 😢 I hope you are feeling well and free now
People who haven't been in situations like this with prolonged abuse do not understand it's self defense and you can't see another way out
Yes, I think we are many abused adult children who fully understand why she did what she did. 💙🙏
@@bonezbaaabyExactly!
"I don't blame anything, I don't make excuses."
That's impressive humility. I really respect her for that comment.
she is smart, of course she would say that - she knows what people wants to hear.
Except that she totally does blame other things. She’s a sociopath and just wants ppl to like her, she plays ppl.
@@JustinaJaynefinally someone with common sense. I find it incredibly infuriating that she's been given a platform and praise. Yes, she was severely abused, and the things she was put through by her own mother are unimaginable. HOWEVER, she could have run off with her then boyfriend. She could have gone to the authorities to ensure her mum gets locked up, exposed, served justice. Let's not forget that by glorifying her, we are glamorising murder which was "justifiable" because she's the victim of abuse. Plenty of people in a position similar to hers would have made a different choice. She chose murder. An apple doesn't fall far from the tree
You mean right after she said she was high on pain killers the night of the murder? She was sober enough to convince an autistic boy to kill her abuser. Play the sheltered victim. Now gets out and has documentaries, book deals and TV shows waiting for her. Nick did more for her than the medical community, police, school system and CPS and his reward is to rot in prison. She's a monster.
@@nyxnecrodragon4256 this.
Gypsy was not the manipulator. Her Mother was. She was a child.
Upravo tako, ljudi krive nedužnu osobu, mater joj je bila pokvarena, proračunata i posesivna osoba, uništila je život kćeri i lagala javno da ima bolesnu kćer
I really pray and hope that she REALLY is healed and has put all the abuse and neglects not only from her mother, but also her father and the rest of her families and friends and specially all her freaking doctors, nurses, and hospitals behind her and she is as clear minded and emotionally balanced as she sounds. The only thing I am very sure about is that we will hear from her again.
She will not set in a little town quietly and raise her children. That is not her. I just hope from now on all the news from her will be positive. Wishing her all the best in the world.
@karlwithak.
Lol. Get a job.
I’m pleasantly surprised by how she is so well spoken and level minded of everything from accountability to planning for her future and children.. we should pray she continues this way
That just tells me she plotted her mother's murder in cold blood. She knew exactly what she was doing and should still be in prison.
@@ShalishaAlstonyou’re so ignorant
yeah Shes very calculated like how she plotted for months on how to murder her mother using a boy with mental issues.
@@ShalishaAlstoni think it looks like that because shes coached. she 100% has a team behind her on socials. shes had years to rehearse and the best agencies probably throwing offers at her.
@@ShalishaAlstonfacts 👏🏼👏🏼 and all these morons eat it up 😂😂😂
I could NEVER judge this young lady.
At almost 40 years of age I am finally admitting I need help.
My biological mother was extremely violent…
The LAST time I saw her outside a hospital setting she threatened to “blow my brains out”.
I’ve since learned she held a loaded weapon on my father when I was deployed.
My only brother took his life bc of her abuse.
Growing up with an untreated mentally ill “parent” was a nightmare.
What I experienced was NOTHING compared to the abuse and indignities inflicted on Gypsy her entire life.
An abuser can cause their victims life long emotional damage.
I can’t imagine the abuse Gypsy suffered.
Completely ISOLATED to suffer chronic long term abuse alone.
Her entire life was a lie, that was her “normal”.
I could NOT have voted Gypsy guilty.
She was NEVER taught or exposed to any kind of “normalcy”.
Everyone believed she suffered muscular dystrophy and severe cognitive challenges.
Even Gypsy’s father believed it.
Claudine ensured everyone Gypsy met believed she was cognitively impaired.
That way nobody would take Gypsy’s word seriously.
Gypsy Rose had NOBODY but her mother.
The whole situation was so abusive, toxic and bizarre.
I know our society can’t condone “vigilante justice” but what were her options?
Murder isn’t right, but was Gypsy even capable of fully understanding that?
She should have been sent to an appropriate mental healthcare facility.
Gypsy Rose is a VICTIM. Her mother WAS killing Gypsy.
Unnecessary operations and dangerous meds?!?!
At the very least Gypsy should’ve been tried as minor.
Personally I don’t believe Gypsy should’ve served prison time.
I agree with u my mother was the same way growing up with a mental person is hard and the sad part about it as a child people do not not understand. i have got so many threaten by my mother as a child if i tell or if i go to the police. now to this day i have have close my mother off
i’m so sorry about the abuse you were receiving from your mom. i completely agree that gypsy should not have been in prison at all because she was a victim of abuse and she did what she had to do to escape from the abuse
I can feel the feeling of living with a narcissistic abusive parent (mom),
Gypsy only tried to escape from a very very abusive evil mom,she shouldn't have been in jail
Wow I'm sorry you and your family all went through that! 😨 That sounds very hard. I hope you find peace, healing, love and joy! 🙏✌️🫶❤️
Agreed
Nick was the one who got totally screwed in this whole ordeal. Not a fair sentence at all.
They should have got the same sentence. Both life or both 9 years. Its horrible how she manipulated that young man to commit murder and only got 9 years. Free him
No the guy had always fantasized murdering someone and when he heard about what gypsy was going through he took it as an opportunity to actually commit the crime.
Totally agree, she should be in prison the same has him, she manipulated a person that had difficulties himself. She played the part in starting the cycle to killing her mum, she should be scrapped of all the money she’s making from it, im ashamed of people that support her.
The guy that FINALLY freed her gets thrown under the bus by her.. he gets life, she does 7 and a half years, NOT 9 years!!
The doctors that approved of all of this should have their licenses taken….. crazy that they are still probably treating people today.
I believe that whenever suspicions were raised they would go to different doctors and move
@@victoriasyverson7490Ok, but that has absolutely nothing to do with what the original commenter said. They said that the doctors who APPROVED the treatments and such should have their licenses taken.
A lot of the symptoms she was having were actually side effects from things her mother giving her and doing to her
She can sue the hospital if it's I'm not sure about the time frame. Some things in legal terms have time frames. But she might still be able to sue them as she should because I'm not sure if anybody reported them to the board. You have to report doctors to the board and then also you can go through a suing them in order for them to get their license taken away.
Ive always thought the same thing! Surgeries & feeding tube 🧐
She is such a likable person. She comes off so genuine, wise, and has all the right answers.
Psychopaths often do.
@@iolitelightAfter all she went through I'm not surprised
Rely tho she's a total nut job and her bf this dude should be out rely tho that poor kid actually had menatl health problems not happy who clearly has no issues just sad
She knows what to say. WHO wouldn’t? Yall putting too much trust in her. Why would anyone follow her on social media?? She’s going to be on OF soon!
@@iolitelight Exactly. Finally a voice of reason. Thank you.
Im not on her side what so ever. Something is off
She deserves a wonderful life. Such a heartbreaking childhood she had.
How about nick??
I like that she took accountability...she also mentioned in the view she got a therapist. It's nice to see someone actually rehabilitated.
Sorry but he could say no. She didn't put a gun in his head, they plotted the murder together. he travelled from his town to hers just to kill this woman. He could just not go with that and stay away from her
And the boy she took to prison?
@@gigivi903Yes - The boy said he wanted to f her moms dead corpse.
@gigivi903 um, he did still murder someone. Am I missing something? The whole thing is unfortunate. No one got out of this situation unscathed. The abusive mother is dead, Gypsy did 8 years, and I think she got an easier sentence because she was the one experiencing the abuse. Her boyfriend did also make a choice, all decisions made lead to the outcome that is.
It could have been 1 stab to the heart, it was repetitive and bloody. No one seeing that crime scene was going to think that someone that could be talked into murder should be on the streets. I am not trying to dehumanize him. I am just speaking about the reality of how this situation could have been perceived. She went infront of the judges and plead guilty. I also wish for people to take the time for people to also realize there are a lot of people especially people of color who go to jail and spend years and life sentences for much less. If you can find humanity in this situation, take the time to see where else your voices can be heard.

She is a really really smart person and accepts that she had a part and paid her dues. i hope the best for her.
She is very smart and unfortunately manipulative because of everything she went through.
@@Shay_TheUnpopularOpinion_Don't know what that would have to do with this interview lol, she admits that she planned it
Yep, smart and manipulative sociopath. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She convinced a man to murder and feels no remorse that he’s stuck in prison.
@@Lover30583Do you even know the whole story? Like Jesus Christ
@@Lover30583he had a CHOICE. and he CHOSE to do if
Finally someone asking her REAL questions the questions that SHOULD be asked
Right??!
these questions were loaded. She was trying to make her look like the villain when she was the victim. The women wanted to be seen as a powerhouse, like an attorney, when she was just a bully trying to get views. It backfired considering she had no care about the fact the woman was abused and manipulated in unthinkable ways for 20 years. She was not a good interviewer just because she came in with a bias.
@@charissac118 Murder IS MURDER, full stop. Gypse HAD other choices. Murder didn’t need to be one of them. Ya’ll are seriously missing the whole thing. She’s literally STILL manipulating the world 🙄🤦🏻♀️ She HAD the wherewithal and mental capacity to pay for the bus tickets and the hotel room, etc.. She had the mental capacity and wherewithal to come up with a story to tell the bf’s parents when they eventually would arrive to his house. She was 23 not 13. She was a grown adult and had other options. She could’ve literally just ran away like already planned and not told the mom and lived her life without the mother ever knowing where she went to. The mother couldn’t have gone to the cops because cops don’t look for runaways as that was a choice. Cops will only look into kidnapping and gypsy was not kidnapped. She was a runaway or would’ve been a runaway. My gawd ppl are just as sick as Gypsy rose is
That last question was out of pocket 💀
I understand she’s trying to dig deep but some questions seemed very accusatory rather than genuine
The fact she is out, and her bf is serving life without parole, is a perfect synopsis of gender roles in America.
Normally the orchestrator is punished just as harshly, as they should be.
WOW so the guy that basically saves her, gets life in prison, she gets out finds a new guy gets fame and moves on. WOW
I agree. She should not be out either.
Not where I was goong with that but ok.
Glad she’s not making excuses and taking responsibility for her actions
the media and the public are doing it for her
But she didn't. Even in this interview she contradicts herself and deflects responsibility
She definitely isn’t taking full responsibility. Yes she says she was involved but in her older prison interviews she’s basically blaming her ex for the entire thing. Calling him a sick person that needs help yet never acknowledging how sick she is for hearing her mother scream for help and then later having sex in the next room. She still doesn’t want to admit that she is the reason a man is rotting away in prison.
@@ayla8345 he r*ped her… if you watched another interview of hers she admits to being r*ped by him… she was telling the truth but not entirely, he had fantasies of r*ping her mom and violently killing people, he obviously needed help but i seriously don’t think thats really justifiable
@@ayla8345The only part that's wrong is that she got an innocent man involved and he went to prison for a situation that really had nothing to do with him. But I'm glad she didn't care about her mother screaming for help or whatever. That woman deserved much, much worse.
I'll always feel sorry for her. Part of her life was ruined just because she was born to a crazy mother. Things are so random, some people are dealt bad cards from birth. And the part of her life that was ruined, through no fault of her own, she will never get those golden years back. She lost her childhood and she lost a loving, secure, stable family life, free from physical pain and invasive medical procedures.
Her 30s are going to be her golden years ❤
Correct❤ Gypsy is the true victem. She dealt with all kinds of abuse..alone in the hands of a real monster. This was not going to end well. As you can see when someone is in a toxic and dangerous environment where you do not see a way out, it can lead someone to do something out of survival,something horrific. The brain wash,manipulation,and how she was planted lies in which she believed in led her to resort to find a safe haven in her boyfriend. He in turn wanted to protect her and did it at all costs. It is really sad.She was like a defenseless child in the middle of a cycle of severe mental abuse. She deserves a second chance in life to experience wholesomeness,peace,to have dreams,and hope. She deserves to know and experience healthy relationships and love. It was astonishing to see how well spoken she is and so conscience. She carried herself flawlessly. I hope God makes a way for her and the road she has taken.
This poor girl never got a great childhood and she still has her baby voice? I hope she gets help and healing.
I bet if asked, pity would be the last thing she would want from anyone. She would prefer to be seen for who she is, not what happened to her as a child. Sympathetic looks are not easy to wash off a face, either. I wouldn't want to be surrounded by people who only saw me as an abused child. Especially if I did time for it.
She had to endure her mother and then prison 😢
Im so grateful for her sharing her story and being released.
I don't know how anyone can blame her. It's a miracle she is alive.
with all the Munchausen cases it trully is suprising that she was able to survive medical abuse for so long, they usually die before they enter teenagehood.
@@LovedLambwow that’s terrible…how come no one on the outside intervenes
@@alexdalton4535 because these "mothers" are great manipulaters and the outside believes the child is actually sick. The only people who have to be questioned are the doctors for not calling the mothers out.
She wishes him well…..smh. I truly don’t think he deserves life and she deserves to be glorified. I think if anything nick should be in a mental institution. Not jail.
I agree with you & although I completely sympathize with what her mother did to her I can’t help but not trust her.
Thanks for sharing this comment. I was wondering if I was the only one who felt this way.
Yes. He would never have done that if it wasn't for her. He didn't have a record prior. However, his illness meant he didn't understand what he did was wrong because someone he trusted told him it was right. I worked in group homes. He is perfectly capable of assistance living or group home living. He wouldn't even need the mental institution unless he got violent again for some reason. For reference, criminals do live in assistance living or group homes also. There are more options. The thing is having a person or a team there to help the individual along. They may not be able to live publicly, but this doesn't mean they have to live in jail where they will be abused.
Yes, think he should be in a secure psychiatric facility, not prison. It’s time for our society to help more people in prison to receive improved treatment for mental and developmental disabilities they have. We cannot continue to warehouse 1.8 million people in the US in prisons without better mental health and substance abuse treatment programs. I know a nurse who works in a state prison, this is what he’s telling me about his work, that it’s just not working how we’ve put people in prisons then wonder why if they are released, why they continue to reoffend.
Nick should NOT be doing life! More over I DON’T for one second thing gypsy is it to GLORIFY herself like Wtf?!??,??
Her x boyfriends case needs to be reevaluated. He helped her get out of a abusive situation reather there were kids or not. Kids or early adults don't know how to plan and think about other options yet. He deserves to be free too.
the guy is mentally ill and got involved just for the act of crime not for his love of gypsy , he even wanted to assault didi after killing her but gypsy begged him to do it to her instead. let alone he asked gypsy to introduce herself for him naked, he is a psychopath
No, he doesnt. Have you heard the details of the crime? Those are not the actions of a loyal bf who was just freeing his gf from her abuser. He didnt need much convincing, he admitted he had an "alternate identity" that loved to kill living in his head. He was excited to commit the murder. He stabbed Dee Dee 17 times nearly decapitating her and wanted to rape the corpse after she was dead because he got off to the murder sexually. The only reason he didnt is because Gypsy begged him not to and offered herself in Dee Dee's place to get him to agree. He's mentally unwell and a danger to society. He likely would have killed someone eventually.
TOTALLY… plus I find it very UNFAIR that his autism wasn’t brought into the equation of what happened…. It’s such a sad situation and his case should %100 be reevaluated and I feel it’s a terrible disjustice that he spends the rest of his life in prison
@@crystall2379 He needs to be in a psych ward, not prison
He wanted to grape her mom
If CPS had gotten more involved Gypsy would have been freed much sooner and her mother would have been incarcerated in a mental institution for 30 years or longer.
She looks amazing and healthy. Praying for her continued healing and growth.
What does “ tipsy from gypsy” means ?
Damn….old boy in jail has to be furious right about now. He got duped into killing this girl’s Mom and his life is pretty much done, while she’s out and about…living her best life with another man. Yikes!!
Ikr
Right. Just damn
Have you guys even seen about his past? He has a dark past before even meeting Gypsy!
Idk if I feel bad about it. She literally had to stop him from having s*x with DeeDees dead body as stated in the doc.
Even after her mom treated her badly she still misses her and loves her , she even regrets her actions she is such a good person now .
This is Stockholm syndrome you sicko !
She never had the chance to be a good person with what her mum.put her through
@@becbell4913 true thanks for letting me know :)
Why wouldn't she say that. She wants to be liked. In an interview, her & boyfriend had sex directly after her mom was killed. Gypsy admitted to. Who could do that
Stating that HER and her mother manipulated people is unbelievably inappropriate and a completely false characterization of the facts. She was a CHILD. She didn’t manipulate anyone in childhood. That would be her mother. Shame on you for even saying such a thing.
WHAT about all the DR.s Nurses and medical staff? Gross malpractice in the least. They are the ones who should be held accountable and responsible, not the mentally incapacitated boyfriend or the SEVERLY abused child.
She has been through so much, I hope she can have a normal happy life.
Not after manipulating her x to kill. She going to hell for killing her mother
shes so strong!!
@@joyliu9527she really is!!
🤣🤣
@@SpiritualSoul520?
The fact she talks so casually about it
she's the sweetest person so empathic and healed from a dark past. I am so happy people like us victims who survived HELL manage to spread light to the world. God bless you
I cannot believe how often this poor woman is asked if she misses her abuser... or how they try and make her feel guilty for not knowing any other way out of that situation, fully knowing that she was without the resources, assistance, perspective, development and experience the rest of us have... just unbelievable... this poor girl never should have received the sentence she did... I will never understand people that are more concerned with the life of a monster, than the life of a victim, who in this case, was robbed of a normal childhood, development, opportunities, was medically mutilated and chronically maltreated by her own caretaker... Gypsy has done exceptionally well considering her experience in the world thus far...
I support your comment wholeheartedly. I have been there being an adult.
Slightly concerned for her being on social media this soon , but anyway. I truly wish her all the best in her new life. She’s clearly intelligent, speaks eloquently , looks absolutely beautiful and healthy . What she went through is some of the worst abuse I’ve ever heard. I still cannot understand or believe how her mother managed to pull so many strings and wool over the eyes of the medical professionals. … giving her chemo for no sign of any cancer .. how.. just how ?! All the best, Gypsy. I hope you can live a beautiful life now. 🌹
...because she falsified the signs by giving her meds. Although I agree, it's still hard to fully grasp the extent of deception....
Oh I understand she was causing the symptoms of real conditions, just with cancer that seems so complex to mimic because of how thorough the testing is throughout the treatment as well. .. having the number of cancer cells monitored all the time , blood tests, urine tests. .. they continue these checks after each round of chemo and in between. That’s the one that really blows my mind. The rest of the fabricated “illnesses” I can understand more how her mother was able to manipulate them. I just hope all of the chemo and treatments and drugs won’t cause any serious health issues down the line. X
Did she actually receive chemo treatment though? I read that the mom would shave her head constantly with the excuse that it was going to fall out anyway even though she wasn’t actually sick.
Gypsy didn't get chemo but her mom shaved her head and gave her "cancer medication"
She's a young woman. All the young ones are on social media. It's their reality, and she's probably making up for lost time
Her eloquence is high-end. Love it!
Whats crazy is everyone justifing what she did. If i would ever be in her presence i would have my guard up and not trust her. Shes someone that you would have to watch your back with.
I think a lot of people still see her as the 23 year old who killed her mother and they have to realize she's not that person anymore and she's done her time and realized her mistakes. She's ready to make the world hers and have that happy life she never could have.
You think prison makes people better?
@@Lady_Angela1 what gypsy did was wrong, but let's not act like her mother was a good person.
@@cjholder9931 And neither is she. Like mother like daughter.
Yeah cuz glorifying murderers is what we do now…?? 💀
@@Lady_Angela1 She doesn't need your negativity she's out here living her best life and your behind a screen hating someone you don't even know
Its really nit fair that her alleged boyfriend got life and she gets out of prison. He is responsible for what he done, and so is she. Its a great story.
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that she manipulated some guy to kill her mother. She's out but he has a life sentence
He has a life sentence BC he refused two plea deals. He chose to go to trial instead and lost. Not Gypsy's total fault. But I will say that I'm sorry that Gypsy Rose roped him into this mess. I wish they would have given him parole in 16 years.
I am so happy for her. To see her grow. I feel her remorse and feel that she is so brave and honest. I hope she can achieve the life she deserves.
I understand with people going all soft for Gypsy, but the answer she gives for the question asked at 7:16 is just complete BS. She was the one who provoked him which brought out the 'Victor' personality in him - which is a mental disorder in Nick. Gypsy is as guilty as him for the murder and should have a fair 'share' of the punishment.
Amen ! She answered like a politician. Completely deflection
Her boy friend killed her mom and got life while she got nine years and is out with A new fiance.?
She is so much stronger than I am. It took ten years of therapy to even slightly be where she is. On how she feels about her mother. What hit me with something she said. She felt free for the first time in prison. That hit me deep. Because I felt the same way when I was put in a psych ward for attempting to take my life. I felt it was the only way to escape. I think her story resonates with a lot of people. For many other reasons. But one of them being abused is way more common than people realize and what is statistically shown. I sincerely and wholeheartedly. Wish gypsy nothing but the best. For a happy, healthy and loving family.
Why is no one talking about her ex boyfriend who was so inlove with her and said in a quote that he thought he and gypsy would be together forever and in the end she just got a new husband that is kinda sad
It is very sad. But Nick was controlling and abusive. His ex girlfriend warned Gypsy Rose. Saying that he has violent tendencies. So there's that.
The numerous doctors she saw throughout her life could have looked further and put a stop to her misery. Hopefully the medical community also learns from this tragic situation.
After that horrible Maya verdict they will be afraid of getting sued and not report so as to not jeopardize their own livelihood
I love how no one asks about Nicolas-the man who freed Gypsy from this torment. He’s all but forgotten. A means to end. Does she feel any guilt about what’s happened to him? Getting life without parole by doing her dirty work? They openly admit that the murder was Gypsy’s idea 🙄
I thought the same
If you watch the Hulu and Lifetime documentary, she clearly orchestrated the whole murder and took advantage of Nicholas' mental health issues. She should still be in prison and he in a psychiatric facility, not jail
This guy wanted to kill someone before she mentioned about him murdering her mother. He was a violent person,he was into violent sexual behavior,he raped Gypsy right after he killed her mother. The man is evil and depraved.
I totally agree
So true and so sad for him.
She was terrified couldn’t get up walk out . 🙈she looks so much healthier.i wish her all the best .xx
This is bullshit. She should be placed behind bars. She was the mastermind behind murder. But as she is out of prison, so should her ex-boyfriend. This is not fair.
I pray she finds peace and surrounds herself with positive people to uplift her. I’m so disgusted how some parents/people could put people through things like this. 😔
She shouldnt be able to make any money off of this.
Love your story. How you overcomed
She's very intelligent n well spoken, I really pray she does well in the future and is able to help others out there that are in a abusive situation, maybe she can bring about awareness n change
Gypsy has been coached in what to say with particular questions. Also it seems she had a good therapist/ counselor.
It will be interesting to how this couple is doing in a couple years.
I feel sorry for the bf who was talked into it.
This bf was a violent maniac. No normal person would be talked into murder. He stabbed her multiple times And wanted to rape her.
Prison was so good for her. She learned to be an adult and how to interact with other adults. Learned real life experience from ladies who have been through real stuff. Im so proud of her
Yep, you know what they say about prison - great place to learn how to become a regular, good member of society.
It absolutely was not good for her. Being away from her mother was good for her. Being in prison was not. It’s just that her mother was so bad that prison happened to be better.
I feel for her! But damn that poor guy too! He lost his life for “saving” her and he gets life! Sorry that don’t sit right with me! And on “HIS JOURNEY” wow!!! And her mother was a MONSTER!
Poor woman. She hit the reset button, and I hope she has a good life now.
Her mother would have killed her eventually for the attention around the death. It is a travesty that this young woman went to prison at all.
' Thou shall not kill" is one of the ten commandments...
@@Moonglow23UNLESS IS SELF DEFENSE!!
@@Moonglow23 "thou shall not abuse children" would be a better rule.
She words it perfectly. The actions she (/they) took, were horrible. But not being IN her shoes, or NEVER harmed so bad……I feel like I can’t blame her. Nobody deserves that life.
Lot's of people grow up abused, the solution isn't murder
@@karlwithak.
You just gonna keep posting that exact same comment? Grow up.
My grandmother bashed my head in so often, I live with epilepsy every single day. I understand fear, oppression, and I understand desperation. But, I don’t understand murder as a solution. Unless DeDe was beating her and in that moment she had to defend herself, which is self defense. Gypsy could have done something else. You know it, she knows it, and I know it, because I did something else. I left my home at 15 years old. I was sick, had uncontrolled epilepsy, having grand mal seizures, I had no friends, no family, no support. My mother had split when I was 8 years old, and my Dad worked away, that’s why my grandmother had such access to me. I got up, after a confrontation….. and, I left.
@@pommiebears Dang, Grandmother's are not supposed to be like that. You have had a very tough time. I hope things are well for you now.
Even in her shoes, i would never have gotten someone else involved in committing murder for me. She has responses for every criticism, but there's no way that she didn't know killing her mother would lead to a prison sentence. I believe she got her boyfriend to commit the act, because she was trying to avoid/reduce her own punishment.
That’s sad what Gypsy went through. I hope Gypsy gets the help she needs.
Definitely a cautionary tale, I think, about how easily we overlook abuse that is in plain sight. Instead of asking a child why they didn't stand up, we should be asking ourselves why we failed to protect this child in the worst way.
A lot of suffering happened, I hope she doesn’t have to suffer anymore🙏🏼
She's a well spoken individual even after all she's been through.
Super articulate and self accountable. Good for her.
People shock me. How could you ask her that? Like she had any control over the manipulation by her mother. She was a baby! She loved her mama! Could you imagine how terrified a child must be believing she’s on death’s door her entire life and drugged and manipulated with love and fear? Tragic.
Hahahaha!!! Even YOU are fooled! "She passed her off as a child for years" do your math on her age and count back.
Where is the sympathy for her boyfriend doing life sentence because of her?
Please don't make her into some kind of folk hero.
She manipulated her boyfriend and planned a brutal murder.
It's not okay.
Amen sad thing is this story has brought out all the devils.... shame on everyone that think murder is ok....
Agreed. I just can’t get past how she used and manipulated Nicholas and ruined his life.
Agreed.
exactly
Thank you
For the reporter to insinuate that Gypsy Rose new what her mother was doing and also that she was a part of it is fucking sick. Gypsy was a child, and even if she had a small inkling of what her mother was doing that doesn't mean she wasn't scared out of her mind to report her.
I agree gypsy went through such a hard childhood she was so badly treated by her mother people stop hating on her.
