Gypsy Rose Blanchard fended for herself when she and Nicholas Godejohn were accused of killing Dee Dee Blanchard. According to Good Housekeeping, Gypsy initially denied any involvement in her mother’s murder, while Godejohn quickly confessed to authorities. He told officials, “The truth is … okay I’ll admit it. I did actually stab her mom.” From the moment he confessed, things shifted with Gypsy and Nicholas’ relationship.
Gypsy and Nicholas were initially charged with first-degree murder, but when tried separately, Gypsy pleaded guilty to a lighter 10-year sentence and confessed to second-degree murder. While she was able to get off the hook relatively easily, Godejohn was facing life in prison.

Gypsy eventually took the stand in Godejohn’s case and completely turned on him. Although she does admit that they both came up with the plan, Godejohn was the one who stabbed Dee Dee to death. Not just that, but Gypsy alleged in an HBO documentary that Godejohn planned to rape Dee Dee after her death but convinced him not to by taking her mother’s place. After Godejohn was convicted, Gypsy revealed in a later interview with ABC News that she no longer had feelings for him. She explained, “He was very much like my mother in certain ways. Both of them were very controlling… and I feel like I was trained my whole life to do as I was told, and I feel like he wanted that for a girlfriend.”
