Gypsy Rose was suffering from leukemia and muscular dystrophy when she was just 8-years-old. She required a wheelchair, oxygen tanks, and a feeding tube. She also had seizures, asthma, hearing loss and visual impairments. Her mother was devoted to giving her everything she ever wanted. As you can imagine, she had many surgeries over the years for all of her health conditions and even had her salivary glands removed. It's awful to even comprehend someone going through all of this, especially at such a young age, but in this story, it's all fake. Gypsy didn't have all of the health issues that her mother claimed she did and no one found out until it was too late. Gypsy and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn took matters into their own hands and killed Dee Dee Blanchard.
