Gypsy Rose Blanchard was slammed online after sharing a Mother’s Day post to her TikTok account. While one would think an innocuous post can’t set off the internet, it is essential to note the 32-year-old convicted felon turned internet sensation gained notoriety for her complicity in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, in 2015.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is accused of plotting her mother Dee Dee’s murder in 2015 with her boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, who is currently serving time in prison. Gypsy Rose was reportedly subjected to years of abuse, including unnecessary medical procedures, by her mother, Dee Dee, who had Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s a disorder where a parent or a guardian deliberately induces illness in their child for attention.

When The Crow emerged thirty years ago, it changed how audiences could perceive graphic novel adaptations. It was dark, gritty, violent, and well ahead of its time. On top of that, it had one of the best soundtracks of the decade. However, it also spawned some pretty bad sequels. After the release of the last one two decades ago, it seemed just as long for a remake of the original to come to fruition, with multiple actors and directors coming and going. Finally, after all that time, we got to see exactly what The Crow would look like in 2024. The reactions have been, well, let’s just say a little more less than enthused. But what if I told you there was one you probably forgot about? One that has the most bonkers casting out of the entire franchise. One that misses the mark by such a wide margin that...

Just a few months after her release from prison, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is sharing her “life after lock up” in a new Lifetime series premiering June 3.
“I do not feel free. I feel like I am in a different form of prison,” Blanchard laments in the trailer for “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,” which sees her fielding death threats on Instagram, being followed on the highway and consulting a plastic surgeon about her nose.
Blanchard also copes with the fallout of her marriage with Ryan Anderson, whom she married in July 2022, during her eight-year prison sentence. She filed for divorce against the special education teacher in April 2024.
“I don’t want to lose my wife, I love her,” Anderson says in the series, which was presumably shot before the couple officially separated.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has taken the world by storm. In The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Blanchard explains her story. On the eve of her parole hearing, after spending nearly seven years in prison for the murder of her mother, she shared the shocking revelations and disturbing secrets of her life for the first time. The now 31-year-old took audiences into her earliest childhood memories of unfounded medical conditions and allegations of sexual abuse. Gypsy recounts the 2015 slaying of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to years of physical and mental abuse for sympathy and financial gain. Known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, Dee Dee’s mental illness led her to tell people Gypsy had cancer and muscular dystrophy. Dee Dee forced her daughter to use a wheelchair, shaved her head, overmedicated her, and put her through several needless surgeries. Dee Dee also accepted charitable donations and gifts from the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Missouri woman who persuaded an online boyfriend to kill her mother after she had forced her to pretend for years that she was suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy and other serious illnesses, was released Thursday from prison on parole.
Blanchard was released early in the day from the Chillicothe Correctional Center, said Karen Pojmann, a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Corrections. Blanchard was granted parole after serving 85 percent of her original sentence, Pojmann said.
Blanchard’s case sparked national tabloid interest after reports emerged that her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who was slain in 2015, had essentially kept her daughter prisoner, forcing her to use a wheelchair and feeding tube.
It turned out that Gypsy Blanchard, now 32, was perfectly healthy, not developmentally delayed as her friends had always believed. Her mother had Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder in which parents or caregivers seek...

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who made national headlines and became the subject of Hulu’s 2019 limited series The Act for her role in her mother’s murder after suffering years of emotional and physical abuse, was released from prison Thursday.
Blanchard, now 32 years old, had served seven years of a 10-year sentence in a Missouri state prison after pleading guilty to second degree murder in for helping to kill her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who abused her daughter for years by convincing her she was sick when she wasn’t.
That ruse included Dee Dee telling Gypsy she had everything from leukemia to muscular dystrophy, forcing her to undergo multiple unnecessary surgeries, use a feeding tube and confine her to a wheelchair, all in an effort to keep control over her daughter in a psychological disorder known as Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is just months away from freedom, and years sooner than expected.
On Thursday, the Missouri Department of Corrections confirmed that Blanchard, 32, will be paroled on Dec. 28.
Gypsy, whose story was detailed in the Hulu series “The Act”, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence at the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri, after the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

Robert Rodriguez isn’t against bringing original Spy Kids stars Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara back for another film. But the director says the time between the latest installment, Armageddon, and 2011’s Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, meant that it was “important to just start the franchise fresh.”
The filmmaker spoke about his decision to launch the latest Spy Kids chapter with a completely new family — and new set of leading child stars — in a new interview with Yahoo Entertainment.
“I wanted to re-establish a new family,” he said of the choice to cast Connor Esterson and Everly Carganilla in the new Netflix film, out Friday. “Because it’d been so long [since 2011’s All the Time in the World], it was important to just start the franchise fresh and then go from there.”

The Jewel Thief is a hilarious documentary brought to us by Hulu, directed by Landon Van Soest. The film dives into the life of the criminal mastermind, Gerald Blanchard, who embarked on a series of audacious heists, each more daring than the last. Even the investigating officers couldn’t help but marvel at Blanchard’s ingenious techniques. With a touch of humor, the documentary takes us on a journey through Blanchard’s notorious heists, which he takes great pride in because he believes ordinary people couldn’t accomplish what he had done. This conviction fuels his belief that he has triumphed in life.
Throughout the documentary, Gerald Blanchard, his mother, and accomplices give interviews alongside the investigators. Unapologetic for his past crimes, Blanchard boastfully details his ingenious thefts, showcasing his lack of remorse. However, it becomes clear that his world is often clouded with more fantasy than actual truth. At times,...

Hulu’s The Jewel Thief documentary chronicles thief Gerald Blanchard, with Blanchard delivering a first-hand look behind the scenes at his lifelong interest in stealing. The trailer shows Blanchard’s humble beginnings and traces his story, with the thief himself helping to narrate his journey.
“Blanchard made headlines for his impossibly elaborate heist of the Sisi Star jewel in Austria, but most people don’t realize that he spent decades crafting increasingly elaborate schemes across the world, targeting everything from gas stations to museums to banks, and getting away with it,” stated the film’s director, Landon Van Soest. “The Jewel Thief dives into his obsession with outsmarting authority, his love of the chase, and an ambitious quest for criminal notoriety.”
Director Van Soest serves as a producer along with Josh Braun, Ben Braun, and Dan Braun. Rick Brookwell and Ben Schwartz are involved as executive producers.
