Gypsy Rose Blanchard details the inhumane abuse she suffered, plus shades actor Joey King in new book, RELEASED: Conversations on the eve of freedom

The Outlier Podcast

Gypsy Rose Blanchard made headlines when she went to prison for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddine "Didi" Blanchard. In what may be the most disturbing and twisted case of all time, it was revealed that Gypsy was being abused by Didi and suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Didi had forced her to pretend for years that she was suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy (she was in a wheelchair) and other grave illnesses. In reality, Gypsy was perfectly healthy. On December 28th, 2024, Gypsy Rose was paroled after serving almost 8 years of her 10-year prison sentence, while her ex-boyfriend Nick Godejohn (who was responsible for stabbing Blanchard to death) serves life without parole. Her much-anticipated book, RELEASED: CONVERSATIONS ON THE EVE OF FREEDOM, with Michele Matrisciani and Melissa Moore, (journalist & daughter of the Happy Face Killer) was released today, January 9, 2024. It's both tragic and shocking. Gypsy gets very candid in the book and in her transcribed phone conversations with Moore from prison; deeper than any of the documentaries that are now streaming. Learn her true feelings about all of the attention she's receiving, and how Joey King and Hulu's THE ACT changed her life- but not for the better.
