Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reflects on Freedom and Reveals Painful Past Procedures
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was imprisoned for her involvement in her mother's murder, has been released and recalls the most painful of her unnecessary medical procedures—a surgery to remove her salivary glands, which has left lasting side effects. Her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, had subjected her to years of medical abuse under the guise of fictitious illnesses, a case of Munchausen by proxy. Gypsy's story, including her struggle with her mother's manipulation and her path to freedom, will be featured in the upcoming Lifetime docuseries "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard."
