Dee Dee Blanchard's death in 2015 shocked the world, revealing a heartbreaking tale of abuse and manipulation. Raised in a troubled environment, Dee Dee used her daughter, Gipsy Rose, to garner sympathy by fabricating numerous illnesses. This led to years of unnecessary medical treatments and surgeries for Gipsy. When Gipsy and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, killed Dee Dee, it brought attention to Munchausen syndrome by proxy and sparked debates on abuse, victimhood, and the legal consequences for those who endure trauma.
