Gypsy-Rose Alcida Blanchard-Anderson (née Blanchard; born July 27, 1991) is an American Munchhausen-by-proxy survivor. She rose to worldwide prominence when she was convicted of second-degree murder in Springfield, Missouri, for the death of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, who had subjected Gypsy-Rose to lifelong physical, mental, and medical abuse. She was sentenced to ten years in prison.[3]
She was paroled after eight years, at the end of December 2023.[4] Given the sensational aspects of Gypsy's childhood, including her mother forcing her to pretend to be disabled and terminally ill, she gained widespread media attention. Hulu produced a limited series, The Act (2019), released while she was still in prison. She has been featured on interviews on a variety of TV shows, such as Dr. Phil, and other programs have been based on her story. In 2024, her own reality show, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, premiered on Lifetime.
