Gypsy Rose Blanchard: Con Artist or Victim?
Blanchard is not doing herself any favors by staying in the public eye. She contradicts herself often, and as a result, she’s losing thousands of supporters.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is finally free from prison after serving 10 years for her role in her mother, DeeDee Blanchard’s murder. Nick Godejohn, the man who committed the crime, continues to serve his sentence of life with no parole.
Many people have pointed out that their sentences were not equal. Gypsy planned the murder. She obtained the murder weapon and paid for Godejohn’s bus ticket to Missouri to commit the crime. She planned everything down to handing him the gloves when he stabbed her mother to death in 2015. However, instead of holding Blanchard accountable for her role in the murder, America has dubbed her some hero while continuing to vilify Godejohn as a monster.
Blanchard claims she never saw her mother’s body after the crime. That seems very unlikely. According to Wikipedia, Gypsy claimed that Nick ordered her to clean up the crime scene (naked). She would have seen the gruesome crime scene.
