Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is the weirdest story in Hollywood today. So everybody is on the same page, Gypsy’s mother had that, weird Munchausen syndrome by proxy disorder, where a mother actually makes their child seriously ill just to get sympathy and get money from charities and well wishers. When very young, Gypsy went through some horrible things from her teeth being pulled out and countless no need surgeries.
However, when Gypsy was about 16 she could walk, talk and realized what was going on, and continued to only be seen in a wheelchair and acting very sick. At 18 she was actively on the internet, using a phony names and continuing the fraud. When she was 22, she was on line looking for a some lonely clueless dude to assist her in killing her mom. Gypsy wanted out, her mom wanted to continue the scam! Gypsy found some clueless dude on line, and rumored promised him sex and they killed her mother! Despite Gypsy planning an elaborate very detailed escape, they were caught a week later.
Gypsy was charged with second degree murder, did 8 years. The poor clueless dude got life. When arrested she was asked, why didn’t you just leave, Gypsy said she was too scared! Look, she played along with the ruse for years, but she is now a convicted murderer! But she is now getting all kinds of money offers! There was a movie, her reality show, Gypsy After Lock-up, has been picked up for another season. There are paid interviews with People magazine, she has a publicist, podcast and on and on! Like I said, this is the weirdest story in Hollywood today. The whole thing is just very weird!
On a different note, I get tons of e-mails asking for good old TV series to watch that are streaming. Here you go, American Rust, with Jeff Daniels on Prime, two seasons.
