  • After scoring big with Neflix’s “The Kissing Booth” last year, actress Joey King returns as Gypsy Rose Blanchard in Hulu’s anthology series “The Act.”
    The stranger-than-fiction story centers around Blanchard and her mother Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette), who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a condition where a caregiver either fabricates or induces an illness in someone under their care to gain attention and sympathy.
    “It was such a mentally challenging role for me,” King told TheWrap. “It required a lot of vulnerability.”

    The fact that Gypsy said she feels more free in prison than with her mother is truly sad and really shows what she was dealing with

    The system failed gypsy. When all the signs were there. Only 1 doctor reported to DCFS that they suspected Dee Dee had Munchousin by proxy. Gypsy felt she had no one ro turn to cause her mother would punish her. She had her chained to a bed for 2 weeks cause she tried to run away. Her father was unsurprisingly supportive. Mother made him out to be a abusive alcoholic who abandoned her. Meanwhile the mother keepet her from him to keep her secret.

    I have looked into the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and I will say that I find the sentence to be unreasonable I don't think that she deserves to spend 10 years of her life in prison. Don't get me wrong she should spend time in jail for having her mother killed. However 10 years in my mind will not help Gypsy, deal with the psychological trauma that was inflicted on her.

    That guy is mentally challenged and used as a tool just for dee dee’s murder.
    He really loves her I’ve seen his footages even in the prison with lifetime sentence that guy still says that he loves her unconditionally
    I think it’s so unfair that gypsy used him as a tool in fact it was her idea
    She could have just ran away or could file a complaint
    It was easier than a murder
    She could have better life.
