Gypsy Rose Blanchard sent her ex-boyfriend chilling video before he killed her mother

It’s a story that shocked the nation. Gypsy Rose Blanchard, now 32 years old, sent a chilling video to her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, before the murder of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard. This tragic tale has captivated the public, and in her upcoming series, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, she reveals the harrowing details.

Gypsy Rose was initially sentenced in 2016 to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in connection to her mother’s death. Dee Dee Blanchard was found brutally stabbed in her Missouri home in June 2015. Godejohn, on the other hand, was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

But what led Gypsy Rose to commit such a horrific act? She claims that her mother mentally and physically abused her her whole life. Gypsy Rose was made to believe she was terminally ill, forced to use a wheelchair and an oxygen tank, and subjected to unnecessary medical treatments. Experts believe that her mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a condition in which a person feigns or causes illness in another to gain attention or sympathy.

In her upcoming series, Gypsy Rose discloses that she filmed a video for Godejohn, showing him the layout of their house and her mother’s bedroom. She even made a stabbing motion in the video, revealing the extent of her desperation and the influence of the pain medication she was on.

The footage shocked her lawyers at the time, who had no precedent for such a case. They knew that if Gypsy Rose went to trial and lost, she would spend the rest of her life behind bars. The video became a crucial piece of evidence, showcasing the depth of her involvement in the planning of her mother’s murder.

Now, after serving seven years of her sentence, Gypsy Rose has been released from prison, having served 85% of her term. The chilling video she made for Godejohn will be shown in the docu-series, shedding light on the dark and disturbing events that unfolded.

This captivating story raises not only questions about the twisted dynamics of their relationship, but also the complexities of mental illness and the desperate measures taken to break free from an abusive situation. Gypsy Rose’s story serves as a cautionary tale, urging us to pay attention to signs of abuse and to offer support to those who desperately need it.
