Gypsy Rose Blanchard Spills Her Story In "People" Cover Story

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has shared details about her past and her future with “People” in an exclusive interview.

Gypsy Rose has been released from prison after spending years behind bars for her role in the murder of her mother Clauddine Blanchard.

Clauddine suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy…where a caretaker, usually a mother, abuses a child by making up fake illnesses and putting the child through unneeded medical procedures.

Gypsy shares that she understands now that her mother was suffering from mental illness. “In hindsight, I really wish someone could have seen the signs and helped her,” she says. “Helping her would have helped me.”

She also shares that jail, at times, felt more free than her previous life under her mother’s constant watch. “I’m able to make friends, make choices for myself. Even though it’s controlled and limited, it was more than what I had before,” she shares.

Wait…there’s more!

The now-free woman also claims that she was molested by a family member…who also molested her mother. “It makes me wonder what other kinds of abuse [my mom] suffered. Because I doubt that anybody just wakes up like, ‘I’m going to put my child through things that are not healthy.’”

Gypsy shares that she regrets the death of her mother “every single day” and she “feels responsible” for getting her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to stab her mother

She also says, however, that “the act to commit murder was on [Nicholas] as well. Everyone has a choice”

Gypsy says that she wasn’t taught much by her mother, so another inmate became like a mother figure and taught her things like how to use tampons

She says one of her best prison memories was saying “I do” in a prison marriage ceremony to her now-husband Ryan Anderson

Gypsy says that she’s looking to raise awareness about Munchausen syndrome by proxy. “My mission now is to take what I’ve done and what she did and bring as much awareness as I can…Some people are like, ‘She just wants to be famous,’ and that’s not the case. But I’ve been blessed with a platform to create change”
