- 28-year-old Nicholas Godejohn and his girlfriend, Gypsy Blanchard are accused of killing Gypsy's mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who was discovered in a pool of blood in her bed in 2015.
The defense kicked off its case by calling Gypsy to talk about her mothers abuse, and took most of the blame on direct examination.

The actor playing nick on the act doesn't get enough credit. He's amazing how he can pause the words the same and everything
hailey belle I was thinking the same thing!! Dude definitely did his homework
Dez 😩😩😩 What a legend
I agree. He did amazing at that role
In an interview he said he made sure to get the autism side he did do a great accurate job
Calum Worthy is his name, and I agree he’s got everything down!!
Man those two actors playing Gypsy and Nick on The Act had the real life people down to a tee
Real gypsy's voice is very slightly less annoying 😂
It's easy because these two are actors too. Bad actors..
Aaron Bear no they are not..
Aaron Bear do better then
@@bryanapoff3628 he means the real gypsy and nick
Damn Calum Worthy better get an Emmy. He has Nicks cadences and mannerisms down to a T.
Refuze2Lose holy shit I didn’t snap that was him! Wasn’t he on Austin and Aly?
RebelBelle yes
April Rayne 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
It was hard to watch because he'll always be Dez, but he did an amazing job!!
Refuze2Lose I know!
calum worthy deserves an emmy. i will say this until i die.
I'd say he's pretty WORTHY of a Emmy.
Agreed. 😚
That Disney channel guy ?
Yeah, and same as Des on Austin & Ally
Holy shit! This is the first time I’ve heard Nick’s real voice and wow Callum Worthy (the actor playing him in The Act) really nailed it! So spot on and indistinguishable!
She probably would've been dead by now based on how her mother was crazy
Yeah Dee Dee injected her with an epi pen repeatedly which can kill you if you don't need it
calafeast not at all, in my opinion Gyspsy is a growing woman and over time she kept trying to be independent. Her mother say with as her being rebellious. I feel like if Gyspsy where to ever get up and really take a stand for herself her mother would have killed her and blamed it on a sickness. Then her mother would have used Gyspsy’s death as a way to get more money; a life time supply of money. People would feel pity for her loss and keep donating out the ass. And think about the money she would get for her memorial... $$$
Yeah it was either her or her mom and well it was her mom
Olivia Haines that only happened in the movie. In all of the things I’ve heard in interviews and such there was nothing about allergies
Nate Davis she didn’t have cancer she had nothing wrong with her
Don’t go on Christian dating websites.
No shitt LMAO 😅
Or Plenty of Fish lol.
Kat or any other dating sites...
Christian dating websites are terrifying af lol, I been on one and deleted my
Account a day later 😂
Or any dating websites period 😭
People say your mother is the most important person in your life, however that’s BS honestly. Some mothers don’t deserve respect just because they’re mothers. Blood isn’t everything.
DalDal being important doesn’t always mean in a positive way
Exactly , my mother married the man who raped me when I was 15 on 4 separate occasions and he's still in prison for it . And my mom still married him and continues to support him.
@@brookexp4710 My heart aches for you. I, too, had a terrible birth mother. Having been abused by her my whole life, throwing in everyone she can, too... against me, so I really don't have a chance against her...therefore have decided to go no contact. Yay.
@ *DalDal* Preach!!!👏👏👏👏💪 A truth rarely spoken of!
My mom is seriously psychotic. Dad says she's bipolar, but I think it's more than that. I tried giving her a second chance, but she never changed and likely never will.
I feel like the endgame was going to be her mom killing her for sympathy. I think that since Gypsy had nowhere else to go and felt trapped what happened makes sense. She shouldn’t have ever gone to prison.
He could have just... taken her. She had use of her legs. Her mother was morbidly obese. You think she’d catch up to them?
Her mom brought her home before when she ran away and forced her to sign guardianship over herself to her mom. She was very much trapped.
Keep thinking that! She s a pawn of the devil and desrves the death penalty like all murderers. Im from Louisiana and I believe what the bible says. An eye for an eye.
Regardless of the situation she still was apart of murder and she knew what she was doing. I feel bad for gypsy I do but that still doesn’t mean you can’t commit murder
@@ilovekittens8959 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you” (Matthew 5:38-42). LITERALLY. IN. YOUR. CHRISTIAN. BIBLE. "Jesus" condemned this OT rhetoric. Try having a bit of compassion for a girl was severely abused and taken advantage of. Shame on you. May G-d fix your heart and write your name in the book of life.
Just set her free already she's been in jail from the moment she was born..
Imagine your parents feeding you through a tube in your stomach and making you have all these unnecessary surgeries. That's more than just abuse. That's torture. We have to be in the person's shoes to truely understand growing up that way. Your whole life. Most say it's easy to just get up and walk out but it's not. She would get hit and chained to the bed. Shit. Who don't be scared of their own parents? I was scared of my grandma when i would get in trouble. We going to act like if it's easy to just walk out from abuse. She is serving time and that's okay because well life has consequences but i hope once she gets out she finally gets to experience what freedom feels like and be able to start over. Shit i have scars in my life now because of my childhood. She needs some therapy and finally a chance to live like a normal person and not being forced to do things. People say "she was capable of this and that". Who said she wasn't? Her mother was the one making her.
And got her teeth remove
Christina Camacho she was also being poisoned. She was being given unnecessary meds through her feeding tube
Yes, her mother gave her medication so that her teeth would start to fall out. She told the doctors it was due to an underlying condition so that she could have ALL of her daughter's teeth forcefully removed. The feeding tubes, the invasive surgeries... it is disgusting.
I have two options about this case:
1. The guy needs to be in a place where they treat his mental health issues, not just in jail for life.
2. Gypsy has absolutely all my respect for owning up to everything she did and taking accountability for it. She deserves a second chance at life, it's not her fault her mother was such a troubled person.
THE SKIN PEELING FROM NICK'S LIPS. YEEUGH, I'm queasy.
🤢🤮
It's not that disgusting LMAO
😂😂😂
Your profile picture makes me queasy
@@kaelynlicious5870 who mines lol
She needed therapy, not prison. not MORE confinement.
The odd thing is she says she feels more free in prison than she did with her mom, but you're right that she needs serious psychological help
AmyBlackRoseCena which in itself is insane. On the outside she was more imprisoned than inside. But she definitely needed psychological help after what her mom did to her for almost her entire life
I disagree with “not more confinement.” She needs to be hospitalized and stepped down to residential - it’s a process that would take years but because of the way her mother “raised” her, she definitely can’t just be on her own without the right help.
She has stated herself she feel more free in prison than she ever did in her mothers care
I want so badly to give her a hug and say it was NOT her fault
well, she could have not told her boyfriend to kill her mother and start thinking about other solutions. I personally think this story is heartbreaking and I wouldn't like to be in her shoes in any way (I do feel sorry for her ) but she decided to let the murder happen, so she's not all innocent.I think her mothers behaviour got through to her a little bit
@@cutelittleReis90 I think it was the amount of abuse that led her to make one BIG mistake. I agree with you that she was responsible of her mother's murder, but I also think that SHE was the real victim.
@@bunnyeverything I do agree with you. She totally is the real victim but you habe to be careful with her now I think, because of how mentally messed up she is. I don't think she should be in prison, but she should be in a psychiatric ward. And still be confronted about her wrong doings and the manipulation she used on her boyfriend at the time.
@@cutelittleReis90 I agree with you she shouldn't be in prison, but therapy
It is her fault. She planed and let that to happen
The fact that her mom made her believe she even needed glasses and now she’s showing up without glasses leaves me speechless, that woman was a disgusting psychopath and she’s nothing but a victim of child abuse
When he said cut her neck down to the bone and she looks like she’s gonna cry is so heartbreaking
I find it sickening how everyone defends Gypsy while bashing Nick. She persuaded him to murder her mother and since he is autistic and has mental problems, it's easy to manipulate him. He only did what he did because he loved his girlfriend so much and wanted to save her from her abusive mother. He needs to be in a mental institution, not prison. Life sentence without the possibility of parole is a ridiculous sentence given the circumstances
Aeternal Rex I agree!!
In the videos and other things I’ve seen she clearly says she the mastermind behind it but she let him kill her however he wanted to. So because if that and the enormous issues she kinda still has a life... he’s on the spectrum people on the spectrum locks on to things and don’t know how to unlock so they obsess about them... he should’ve gotten off or the roles should’ve been reversed
She's only manipulative because her "mother" was the same way and it was all Gypsy knew. She's going to need a lot of help and therapy.
Someone really should tell Nick Godejohn about chapstick.
Caitlin Baker and water
I mean... he’s in jail sooo
It's common with a lot of autistic people, surprisingly
Gypsy looked terrified when talking about her mom *hugs*
you can see how upset she is being asked about the gruesome stuff even now years later. free this girl!! give her the freedom she didn't have her whole life
fr that last question looked like it almost made her throw up like ya had to get that descriptive?
She stated in interviews that she felt more free in prison than she ever did at home. She’s happy so far :0 Yes, she does deserve better, but what she has is already better than what she had, yknow?
Gypsy has true remorse for what happened to her mom, regardless of the abuse she endured by her. I hope she can put this behind her once she is free and have a wonderful life
Omg Calum got Godejohn’s talking so well. Someone get him an Emmy.
anyone else find it weird that dez from austin and ally plays nick ? lmao
Sophia Hennessey I knew he looked familiar wtf!!!! That’s crazy
I knew he looked familiar I just couldnt place him
Sophia Hennessey WTFFF LMFAOOOOOOO I DIDNT FUCKING KNOWWEE
ONG THAT WAS HIM
I mean Ross Lynch or “Austin” played Jeffery Dahmer in the movie My Friend, Dahmer
I wish they just would've left and started a new life.
Do you know she tried already? And it backfired for her
There was always other options. Just cause she ran away once doesn’t mean she needed to murder her mom 🤷🏻♀️
@@lisadubisar8759 you cant always get up and leave in domestic situations a lot of times people end up dead once caught. One of the most dangerous times for a domestic survivor is leaving.
Sherisa S never said get up a leave omg 🤦🏻♀️
Honestly if they didn’t post that I feel like they could have
Can we get a standing ovation for both the the actors that portrayed Nick and Gypsy?👏👏👏
Her being in jail shows the injustice. I applaud people who have to take matters into their own hands and succeed.
I agree norah it was her survival r her moms life, her mother would never let her go off and live her own life!!!☘🐾
injustice, she planned and executed her mother, by know means am I defending her or anything and she defiantly deserves lower sentence but she still did it, we can’t start making exception now, law is the law
@@lincolnretzlaff6644 No she was a survivor of a lifetime of severe abuse. If this was an intruder and she killed them it would have been acceptable. This was a woman who was not only traumatized by phsyically abused and in danger, and after exhausting all options including going to the police it was her life or her mothers, and she didnt even carry out the actual murder.I suggest you do some serious research into this and research legal precedent. If there ever was injustice even based on past cases etc this is it. I wish you peace xoxo
You're right. I don't have an answer for that :/ @@vanessagordon1343
They have to face the consequences then. Yes she was a victim but she was the master mind behind the plan of killing her mom.. so justice did it part. I wish her a well and fulfilling life when she gets out.
Having hearing aids in without needing them probably made everything sound horrible and super loud. Ugh
Calum, Partricia, and Joey NEED to win an Emmy, their performances were absolutely amazing! Joey got the voice, pain in her speaking, and transformation amazing, Calum completely transformed into a socially awkward man who didn’t had a crime of passion, and Patricia was just legendary with her voice, glances, and anger! Let’s root for them because this was an amazing series with the sadness you feel for the cast and mixed emotions about what’s right and wrong❤️
this girl still seems so innocent and genuinely sweet at heart. No one can really judge how she must've felt and how miserable she must have been. Even after all her mother did she still said she didn't hate her she just wanted to escape her. I feel for her i hope she gets therapy done because if you enjoy jail i can't even begin to explain how hell of a life she must've lived
2:06 Dee dee is haunting the captions
Lol true
LMAO HOW DOESTHAT HAPPEN
Weirddddddd.
so weird “yes sir”
😅
I don't believe gypsy Rose is a bad person she wanted to get away from her Mom
@ICEGOD KAZZY she couldn't of ran because there was no place to go
@ICEGOD KAZZY true but the guy was more messed up then gypsy because as they were discussing how to kill her on the phone the guy asked gypsy if he could also rape the mom
Yes I agree, or she could have spoken up about the abuse instead of playing along with the mothers lies. She also manipulated Godejohn into killing her mom like if that was the only way she could of been free. I don’t believe she’s that innocent
@ICEGOD KAZZY I don't know she was just a child then what would you have done?
I
'm so happy for her now. She's in prison and thriving, and she's even studying in collage!
I heard her tell a reporter, that she feels freer now, than ever before!..
I feel so bad for Gypsy. She's still being punished for being abused herself. She doesn't deserve this. :(
Sula Green she deserves much worse
She’s a sociopath like her mom
She manipulated Nick into this murder and had sex in her bed immediately afterwards then again a short time later at the motel
Nick never would’ve killed if Gypsy hadn’t initiated it first by promising him the love and stability of a committed relationship he longed for...which Gypsy had no intention of keeping her promise
Hell, she’s already engaged to some fool prison pen pal.
@@tracyprentice5248 she wanted to be free from abuse. she didnt manipulate him. gypsy, herself, was manipulated for so long that she was mentally f*cked up. the sex afterwards was non consensual- shes said that many times. just look at how heartbroken she looks when given the details of the case. shes the victim here and deserves therapy and help.
Calum .. did .. the .. damn .. THING. Got his mannerisms down pact fr
They did take her mentality into consideration. She got TEN years for a premeditated murder with more than enough evidence. Typically people get life or death penalty for it.
She had Stockholm. Premeditated or not for what she had to endure from her mother 10 years is too much. She is a victim and should be considered self defense. 10 years probation maybe with mandatory therapy, but not prison.
Syeda Yasmin Ara I’m pretty sure she got charged with second degree murder tho & she took a plea deal & she was abused. Most people do think she should’ve gotten some prison time because murder is murder, but not for 10 years in a prison that doesn’t have a place for her to get help. (The prison she’s at doesn’t have a place for her to get therapy). She’s been through so much abuse and that was the only way she could’ve gotten out so I don’t think she should’ve gotten the time.
Deven Oh, the prison where Gypsy is can't give her any therapy? I was really hoping that if she is going to be in prison, she would at least receive psychiatric help. She definitely needs it after everything that she went through with her mother. Surely something could be arranged! At the very least, a psychologist or therapist should be able to come to the prison and meet with Gypsy regularly. They must have some kind of private room somewhere where Gypsy and the therapist could be.
Dragonfly91 Prisons have therapy but she needs intensive treatement.
Dragonfly91 im kind of glad she didn’t get the therapy. Some therapists would love to drug her even more
He needs to be let out of jail and sent to a mental institution. He isn’t mentally there. He needs help. Not jail.
I'm seriously in awe of Callum Worthy. He needs an Emmy lmao he did PERFECTLY. So did Joey, but yeah this is perfect.
She should not have been imprisoned. She was a victim. She wanted out. Also, she was still on drugs from her mom when this happened. Poor thing.
Her boyfriend shouldn't be in prison either. He did what anyone would do if they saw someone torturing their own child
I think she shouldn't have gotten 10 years in prison but ten years of professional help. I'm sure she's getting some in prison. I hope when she gets out she finds a happy life
@@zzzcocopepe yes
Where is the documentary on this guy? Shouldnt we be worried how he got to where he is?.....not jus gypsy...
I thought that too!
@@Jerseygirl5612 he was a pedator that was caught and no one is talking bout it...
He has autism and he claims multiple personalities but I don’t think he was ever diagnosed or had the diagnosis ruled out.
ruclips.net/video/8MB9Yc5qj_M/видео.html
@@Jerseygirl5612 He's autistic in a way Gypsy manipulated him into helping not her fault though because her mother brought her up that way.
Free this woman!!! This is not justice. It should have been viewed as self defense. Our system does not protect the innocent. The man.... he was a creep. But this girl deserves a life finally.
but maybe gypsy is the mastermind behind the plan. he was a tool, a victim.
@@LiSa-fc5sp would you not calculate a plan to kill your torturer? I would.... everyone would. It's just different to everyone because she had to manipulate someone else to do it. Partially probably because all shes ever known is manipulative behavior.... she was taught you want something done... you manipulate. Maybe partially because she did have compassion for her torturer and couldnt do it herself and maybe even partially do to her being to weak due to the drugs in her system. If you saw a way to escape your torture you would carefully calculate knowing you might only get one shot at it. I'm not saying let her free without concern. I think a faculty with counseling would have been more fair.
@@nicolewilson8185 ok but what about him? All you said was he was a creep, he was in love with her and felt he was rescuing her. She played all the games with him on the computer with the different personalities. He has a low IQ and autism spectrum 2 disorder. So what about him? She got 10 years and he got life. Do you really think that was fair? She was 100% involved with this murder. She also could have said something to her many doctors. If she would have stood up in front of one of those doctors they would've immediately started to investigate her mother and I guarantee they would've taken her out of there while it was happening. She didn't have to manipulate this poor guy into murdering her mother. She deserves what she got. In fact I'd say she got off pretty easy considering it was her idea. Again this guy thought he was saving her and protecting her from an abuser that she said she couldn't get away from. She sure could get computers and knives and go on websites without her mom knowing so I'm pretty sure she could have walked out that door in the middle of the night and got into a cab and took a bus to this guys home and stayed with him and no one would be murdered. I doubt this guys "dark side" would have ever come out to this extent if it weren't for her manipulation. I'm just saying give this guy a little slack. She's getting famous and movies are being made and books and she's getting engaged and asking people to write the governor and help her get out early all while he looks like the bad guy and rots in prison for life. I mean she didn't even stick with the poor guy snd he ruined his whole life for her. Wtf.
@@kelliehand1 He wanted to rape her mom. He went through no torture at the hands of the victims mom. Even if he has autism and other mental health issues.... he is evil. My brother has mild autism. Does that mean he goes around willing to murder and rape? Not at all. That comment makes everyone who has mild to severe autism sound like they may be capable of such crimes. I stand by what I have said. She was tortured. She tried many times to get away only to be put back in her mothers care. People thought she was special needs. She most likely felt very isolated. I am sure that most couldnt have endured the suffering she did. I am sad that this is what other people view as justice. She needs mental health experts. Of course she manipulated him. She was raised to know nothing else. To each their own. I just wish I knew what you would do if you had been in her shoes. How you somehow think your mind would have stayed fully in tact even on all the meds and with all of the mind games. You must have endured a super tough life to be so sure that prison is the best answer to this.
Free this woman!!???? Are you kidding? I guess you wanna free Jody Arias too? This girl is a MURDERER and deserves the death penalty like all murderers. The Bible says it. An eye for an eye! Ridiculous
Damn Calum Worthy does so well as Nick
This case is pure insanity ! like how is this even a real thing 😩😩 her mother was a MONSTER
You can tell how sorry she is and how painful it is to talk about, she just needed a way out. She’s a victim. It was kill or be killed at that point. She did what she had to do to get out of the situation she was in.
Marii Nicole no she could have reported her mom, she could have just left like she did without killing her
@@melonchunck
watch the documentary. She tried to leave many times and report it many times, no one believed her, they sent her back to the mother every time.
@@sulagreen5792 but she ran away after the murder, so why not just run away without the murder.
@@melonchunck She was probably fearful that the mother would come after her and she'd get sent back to her and everything would get covered up, just as it had before. The mother was a master at making everyone believe Gypsy was mentally disabled, even though people would see Gypsy could walk, I'm sure the mother would have come up with some explanation for that that would cause Gypsy to get put back in her care. This girl's life was a like a horror movie... the mother was like a monster, I don't see how you can blame her for resorting to this as her only way out.
Kill or be killed, stabbing a sleeping person in the back isn't kill or be killed.. If she was smart enough to convince someone to kill her mother, plan a murder, plan the getaway etc then she was smart enough to convince someone and to plan a different escape..
this makes me so sad. Gypsy deserves better
I never think murder is justified, but I feel bad for Gypsy. I mean just look at 4:19.
Home dude needs a Lush lip exfoliator-
for everyone wondering why she is in jail and not therapy is because the murder was *premeditated* meaning it was planned. her i feel like either her mom was slowly gonna kill gypsy with the unnecessary drugs and abuse or gypsy was gonna kill her mother out of fear etc..
SaniyaTrinity gypsy shouldn’t be in prison, I don’t blame her for wanting to kill that crazy bitch
He saved her life. I Don’t condone killing, but I look at him somewhat as a hero. This whole thing is so crazy
But he wanted to rape her and he did the most with killing her. If it was to JUST kill her he didn’t have to stab her 17 times. He is definitely no hero
This woman was victimized her whole life, I remember the first time that I heard her story I thought it was insane to put her in jail. She needs help not punishment.
All of the drama aside. Gypsy looks really pretty.
Gipsy isn't a victim. She did take part in the murder guys🤦🏽♀️.
Yeah her mom made her suffer but that was the only time she was the victim.
I feel bad for the girl and I understand she wasn't thinking straight. I understand it didn't hit her at all that she killed her mother because of the meds. But in the end she still took part.
She really just needs therapy..
gypsy is a victim LMAO watch the whole story before speaking. she has been getting unneeded surgerys, medicines, and beatings that have caused permanent damage to her body since she was a baby. she wanted her mother murdered because she couldn't escape the abuse. her mother didn't deserve to live.
@@grey6031 i kno the whole story & Gypsy is NOT a victim .
Gypsy is absolutely a victim. It doesn't have to be one or the other; being a victim doesn't necessarily mean that you are completely innocent. It is possible to acknowledge that Gypsy was the victim of very severe physical and mental abuse, without saying that she doesn't also deserve some of the blame for the murder. The relationship between Gypsy and Godejohn was complicated. Gypsy did not have any kind of role model for a healthy relationship and her mother did her best to isolate Gypsy and keep her from making friends and dating. Gypsy would have had to communicate with her boyfriend in secret regardless of whether or not he was a good guy. Godejohn seems to have been a very troubled guy and to a certain extent he took advantage of Gypsy's naivety and her desperation to escape from her situation. Even if she, out of frustration and desperation, asked him to kill her mom, he could have said no. He could have helped her escape from the house and he could have helped her to report her mother's crimes with the police. Just because Gypsy asked him to kill her mom, it doesn't mean that she forced him to actually go through with it.
calum worthy does a perfect job of recreating nick’s speech
This story is messed up on so many levels. The abuse started since day one she was born.
20 years of shaving her head, giving her medication which resulted in falling her teeth out, being in wheelchair for over a decade, feeding tube....and who knows what else!
The only people that should be in jail are DOCTORS!!!!!
This case is disturbing on so many levels.
At the same time I’m not defending Gypsy but she didn’t know better.
And once again let’s not forget the agony lasted for almost 2 decades!
Very sad and disturbing!
Calum portrayed Nick very well I give him all the props. He deserves an award. All the mannerisms and the voice is very accurate
You know it’s bad when she thinks JAIL
Is better then being with her mom
The fact that I heard she feels more free in prison rather than when she wasn’t in prison breaks my heart. ITS FREE YOU TILL ITS BACKWARDS BABY 😭❤️
Describing her mother’s death to her was horrible I feel bad for this girl
I feel terrible for her. I don't think she deserves jail time. Lots of therapy, if anything.
Gypsy is a victim. She should have never been put into jail , therapy absolutely, jail absolutely not.
No no no no no. Nick was the one who was manipulated. He is the one with ACTUAL mental problems. He doesn't deserve life in prison. He needs mental help. GYPSY knew what she was doing. She planned it and manipulated Nick into doing it. Sure it was self defense but we're all forgetting that she LITERALLY COULD HAVE STOOD UP AND WALKED TO THE POLICE STATION AND IT WOULD ALL BE OVER. Gypsy deserves at least 20 or 30 years.
Emily Fonseca Gypsy has a reason to kill her mother. Nick didn’t.
Emily Fonseca I don’t think he should have as long of a sentence as he does though
Emily Fonseca also with a mother like Dee Dee no wonder she was manipulative. It’s all she knows.
They both need to be serving there time in a mental hospital not a prison.
She was psychologically & mentally abused as well as physically! And was a victim & didnt deserve time in jail .it makes me angry bc she wasnt all there due to it
I just don't understand why no one in the system has addressed that she was a victim escaping an abusive state of living, rather than a murderer plotting revenge
I honestly feel bad for gypsy. What her mom put her through is very sickening. However, she could have found another way. I don’t see why killing her mom would be her first thought instead of telling someone what her mother was putting her through. Idk, I can’t say for sure she deserves to serve the 10yrs she got, or if she deserves to be free because she has certainly been through a lot already. This is a very sad story. 😥😥
She did try to leave multiple times. Her mom quickly found her and abused her. Threatened to smash her fingers with a hammer, handcuffed her to a bed for two weeks, etc. Her mom had papers filled out saying she was mentally incompetent so she felt if she went to police or anyone they wouldn’t believe her because of it. She never had much time alone with other people, everything was watched by her mom. She had to sneak around while her mom slept to talk to Nick online. So killing her mom definitely wasn’t her first thought. It was the only thing that got her out of that hell hole. I don’t think she deserves 10 years. She needs intensive therapy.
She attempted for help on multiple ocassions. Twice she ran away and was released back into her mothers custody. Both times she was beaten, starved, and even chained to her bed to stop her from leaving again. Her mother had everyone convinced that Gypsy was mentally stunted and that she couldn't mske her own decisions. She told people her signs of abuse were things related to the illnesses she had. Weight loss from starvation Dee Dee said was from her medications. Bruises from beatijgs she said were from various medical tests and needles because her skin was fragile...
Even when Gypsy reached out for help from medical staff her mother quickly pulled her from those offices and moved to other towns or even states under the guise of "bettwr treatment." Dee dee even had her bio father convinced that she was mentally like 7 and was fragile and that was why he couldn't visit her.
This was basically a hostage situation where the mother was so manipulative and so horrible that she was able to get away with what she was doing for years with no results in favor of gypsy. In the end, i can clearly see how gypsy really thought if she didn't kill her mother she was going to die
Also she was drugged with so many medications for so long so she was constantly high and wasn't thinking rationaly
She had tried to tell people. Her mother had told people she was mentally incompetent (clinically retarded) so people didn't pay attention. She tried running away or telling neighbors and no one believed it. Whenever she did get across to someone her mother had physically abused her and began to chain her to the bed threatening to smash her fingers with a hammer. Murder was the only way out. Smartest thing she ever did and the shameful jury and judge who put her behind bars is proof enough as to why you cannot trust in an unjust system.
She actually tried a lot of multiple ways. If you actually watched the documentary even the police failed her when she called them.
I heard of this story a few years ago and I just started watching The Act, on Episode 4 now. They did a GREAT job on the show and it is exactly how I pictured it to be after hearing her story. I feel so bad for her, because she should NOT be in prison. She was traumatized ENOUGH by her OWN mother! I can't wait until she's free and can FINALLY start living her life.
How is Gypsy gonna sue the act looks like they’ve been spot on with everything lol
if she had been kidnapped and finally, 20+ years after being abused, killed her abuser (or had boyfriend kill them) she would be praised and called a brave victim. She needs therapy, not jail.
Crazy how THE ACT is spot on with the voices 😱
Really good use of irony in the TV series about this when they are mentioning Disney princesses. They talk about Rapunzel and it’s literally Gypsy’s situation where her mother has her trapped and she wants to leave but has Stockholm syndrome and doesn’t know anything that her mom didn’t tell her. The only way she has real access to the outside world was through the internet. Such a bad situation.
she needs help not jail
facts
Jail IS better than being with her mother.
What a shame. Poor girl...
She was a victim of her mom? yes, no doubt. But she took the risk of murdering her mother knowing what it meant because she was with the wrong person.
She knows what she did and she is paying for it. The whole situation is so wrong, but i kinda understand why she is in jail. Is she a psychopath? No definitely not.
clock o she most definitely is a sociopath
She learned it from her mother who in turn learned it from her mother
Dee Dee tried to poison/kill her stepmother by putting Roundup Weed Killer in her food/drink & nearly did
Dee Dee is also suspected of letting her own mother starve to death while she was supposed to be acting as her caregiver..
Instead, she was forging her mom’s checks and using her credit cards as her bedridden mom went without her daily basic needs being met.
Sociopathy is a learned behavior & Gypsy is a manipulator/devious person like her mother.
It’s a personality disorder so it can’t be treated with medication/therapy etc
Like mental illness can (if & when it works)
I’d like to add...
Dr Phil said it best while interviewing Gypsy and she told him that she didn’t hold a gun to Nick’s head when he killed DeeDee
That he could have backed out of it, etc
Nick never would’ve entered the picture if it weren’t for Gypsy & her asking him to do it.
Gypsy could’ve ran and got help, not opened the door for Nick, called 911 or even went to help her mother while being stabbed
She used Nick and had no plans to stay with him...she’s already found her another sucker while in prison and they’re engaged.
I don’t agree with you completely with her being a sociopath
She act the way she acted in total desperation of her situation, doesn’t mean she would do it again
I truly believe her words, but I don’t think she is 100% innocent for she understanding what she did
You’re possibly correct on this
However, unless she is serious about getting some hardcore psychotherapy to help change her learned behaviors, she most likely will continue with her manipulating ways.
Doesn’t mean she will kill again in the future...
But, will continue using people for her own benefit.
Either way, it’s a tragic story and Nick is the real loser (I’m not too sympathetic when it comes to DeeDee). At least Gypsy can go up for parole soon, while Nick has to die in prison.
Gypsy is so beautiful. Her story is utterly tragic and disturbing but wow she is stunning.
I feel bad for them both
Everyone going on about, “Why didn’t they give her the treatment she needs rather than put her in prison?” needs to take a step back and realize that this is AMERICA, and in America we victim blamed. Sure, Gypsy was defending herself and getting out of a horrible situation, but the legal system doesn’t care. She’s murdered someone, and we care so much more about punishing bad behavior than fixing it. She’s going to need so much therapy when she gets out.
It’s sad she has more freedom in prison then she ever had under dee dee’s control. My heart breaks for her.
That entire mini series deserves an Emmy I've watch it like 3 times already
Free Nick til it’s backwards
He had legit mental problems he needed/needs help
Wow, you can tell how manipulative she is. So cold, poor Nick he was a pawn in her sick game trying to escape her mother.
Is no one else worried that they found his google history...I hope i don’t commit a crime
Kpop Whatever “I hope I don’t commit a crime”
Gypsy should not have gotten the sentence she did and the fact that she says prison is better than life with her mother shows how bad she had it. This poor girl has never truly been free
Poor girl
The people who starred in The Act need to get an award because of how well acted it was. And I feel bad for Gypsy because of what she went through. It is sad that having her mother murdered was the only way of escaping from her abuse.
All I have to say is his lips are crusty
From abused by her mom to abused by the law, the world has failed this girl
One word: Carmax
Carmex ?
Carfax?
Hair wax?
Xanax?
😭😭😭
Unpopular opinion: Gypsy deserved her sentence. She could have easily notified the police of what was going on, instead she made a plan to kill her mother. She could have been free and her mother could have been behind bars instead. But she chose wrong. I hope she learns something from being in prison.
G.R should of never been locked up she seriously has mental problems that her mother coached her form the very begining she has no fault she was not breathing she blew up eventually she would have because that's a normal response but not the act of her mothers death and needs mental help and bring her back to reality she's innocent her mother was a monster and so is her boyfriend way of thinking
I fucking love how the justice system works. If a rapist is caught he gets a few years in the jail. If someone who kills an innocent kid often gets through the whole jail with a small sentence. Here a girl who has been through hell has been jailed is just crazy to me.
I wish they’d give him some chapstick 😭
😐
I feel so bad for gypsy. She was a victim of abuse for years. And you can see from this video that she takes a lot of the blame for it and in other interviews she’s said she feels remorse and you can just see it in her face she means it. She was put into a awful situation.
I wish she found somebody who helped her get legal justice instead of nick
Nick and Legal Justice? He is serving life w/o parol, plus an addtl 25 yra
Gypsy is such a lovely young lady. How tragic that she didn't get to experience a normal childhood.
He look like he smells bicycle seats smh but this was too harsh 7yrs & parole after that
Vanessa bling why is parol
She’s so honest. It humanizes her.
Am I the only one who thinks Gypsy kinda just used that guy knowing he wasn’t very smart and then let him take all the blame?
Why would her boyfriend want to rape her abusive mother before he killed her?! That's super creepy!
I honestly feel so bad For her ...
The person who played nick in the act nailed his voice ! Holy cow
