Gypsy Rose Blanchard's illnesses began when she was an infant. Her mother, DeeDee Blanchard, took her to the hospital often for a variety of symptoms. DeeDee told her daughter that she suffered from various diseases. All of this turned out to be a lie.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Gypsy Rose Blanchard. As Gypsy got older she wanted to date and live her life. DeeDee didn't want this because she needed to keep Gypsy isolated. When Gypsy met a man named Nicholas Godejohn, they eventually settled on the idea that DeeDee needed to die.
