Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

Gypsy-Rose Alcida Blanchard (formerly Anderson; born July 27, 1991) is an American woman who rose to worldwide prominence when she was convicted of second-degree murder in Springfield, Missouri, for the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to lifelong physical, mental, and medical abuse. She was sentenced to ten years in prison.

She was paroled after eight years, near the end of December 2023. Given the sensational aspects of Gypsy-Rose's childhood, including her mother forcing her to pretend to be disabled and terminally ill, she gained widespread media attention. Hulu produced a limited series, The Act (2019), released while she was still in prison. She has been featured on interviews on a variety of TV shows, such as Dr. Phil, and other programs have been based on her story. In 2024, her own reality show, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, premiered on Lifetime.
