In recent news, actress Joey King revealed that she has been in contact with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the woman she portrayed in Hulu's limited series 'The Act.' The series depicted the tumultuous and tragic story of Blanchard, who was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison on parole late last year, after serving eight years for the crime.
During Blanchard's trial, she claimed that her mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, leading her to fabricate various illnesses for her daughter. This ultimately resulted in a complex and toxic relationship between the two, culminating in the murder of Dee Dee by Gypsy Rose and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.
