Gypsy Rose Blanchard will be on Good Morning America tomorrow
Gypsy Rose Blanchard will be on Good Morning America tomorrow to discuss her docuseries, ‘The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.’
The 32-year-old, who was released from prison last week, recalled her state of mind when she and then boyfriend Nicholas “Nick” Godejohn conspired to kill her mother in June 2015 in a new interview with PEOPLE.
“It was panic, desperation,” Gypsy told PEOPLE. “Because I was facing yet another surgery pretty soon, and I really did not want to have the surgery.”
For years, Dee Dee had subjected Gypsy to unnecessary medical procedures and convinced her daughter and others that she had a series of illnesses.
It was argued in court and is widely believed that Gypsy was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a rare form of abuse in which a guardian exaggerates or induces illness in a child for sympathy and attention.
Gypsy, who served eight years of her 10-year sentence in prison, reflected on the nature of the surgery she was due to undergo before her mom’s death: “It was work on my neck, something about my voice and my vocal cords and my voice box, to figure out why my voice is so high-pitched,” she said.
“And they thought the doctors attributed that to maybe a breathing issue.
So they were going to do surgery on my larynx, and at that point, I was just not having it. I’m like, ‘I do not want to have the surgery.’ I expressed that to my mother.”
