Gypsy Rose Blanchard

I'm seeing something about gypsies.

Gypsy Rose.

Uh-oh, guys.

There could be something about Stockholm Syndrome or Munchausen.

no not yet not yet not yet

and The Cove kind of goes hand in hand with another documentary which I won't mention it's not on my list but it could potentially be on yours so I won't mention it just yet uh we'll move on to my number five and here we go we're another this is another um hbo documentary that's a that's that's hbo i really feel like they do uh some of the best documentary work out there uh and this is um what the hell year was this 2017 2017, Mommy Dead and Dearest, which is the documentary that explores the murder of D.G. Blanchard by her daughter, Gypsy Rose, and then all of the circumstances that are leading up to it.

This is another one that can kind of fall into the, if you know anything about the story as you're watching it, you can, you know, there's that sense of dread, that sense of unsettling, that sense of spine chill of like, well, I know where this is going.

So let's see how we got there.

Um, but the basic story of gypsy roses, she, uh, was basically used by her mother to, uh, Garner sympathy through basically treating Gypsy as if she was a complete sickly handicapped girl that basically had all of these different things.

And this, you know, it's a it's a story.

Oh, right.

And you know who I share my claim to fame with from my hometown? I don't know.

Current Miss Murderous USA, Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Really? We are from the same hometown.

Dee Dee had sole custody of an infant and no one watching.

In the weeks that followed, Gypsy sent GoToJohn a video of herself pointing at Dee Dee's pillow, making a stabbing motion.

She texted him, She stole a knife from Walmart and hid it in her bedroom, inside the same house where Dee Dee slept every night and waited for the date they'd chosen.

They watched a movie together.

True Story Media.

Hello, it's Andrea, and today, back by popular demand, we are on with Javier Leiva, talking all about his new series, The Gypsy Rose Blanchard Obsession.

Javier Leiva of Pretend is, of course, a friend of the show.

I know that many of you are already fans of Javier and his work, and as you'll find out in this episode, he is a fan of yours as well, which, of course he is.

Well, Javier, hello.

Hey, Andrea, Andrea, Andrea.

I'm like, okay, so for those that are just joining us and did not listen to our last recording, the impetus for your Gypsy Rose Blanchard obsession series was that I had done an interview with Gypsy, got inundated by this Gypsy Rose Blanchard anti-Gyp community, and thought, there's something interesting going on here, and I don't really have the bandwidth to dig into it.

But this really seems like something Javier would be into.
