As Gyspy Rose Blanchard was released from prison today, let’s look back at the murder case that inspired a Hulu mini series.

Child abuse survivor Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison today after serving more than seven years for the murder of her mother.

The murder of Blanchard’s mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who allegedly abused her daughter by convincing Blanchard and the public she was sick, inspired an HBO documentary and a Hulu miniseries that garnered Patricia Arquette an Emmy win.

Blanchard, now 32, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for planning her mother’s murder with her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, whom she had met online. Three years later, Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing DeeDee to death and was sentenced to life in prison, the New York Times reports.

What did DeeDee Blanchard do to her daughter?
Blanchard’s mother convinced her that she suffered from conditions such as leukemia, muscular dystrophy, vision and hearing impairments, and seizures, ABC News reports. Blanchard’s mother kept her weak and dependent on her and had her use a wheelchair and go through multiple surgeries that were later determined to be unnecessary. While DeeDee was never diagnosed before her death, it is widely believed she suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder where a parent or caregiver either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like their child is sick to get attention.
