Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Reveals Final Words to Her Mother Before Murder
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard was hiding in the bathroom when then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn stabbed her mother, Claudine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, to death in 2015. Ten years later, Blanchard has completed her prison sentence for her involvement in the plan to kill Dee Dee, who is believed to have had Munchausen by proxy and is opening up about the final moments of her mom’s life.
Blanchard recalled what she said to her mother, who was asleep when Godejohn entered the home, before she went to bed that night. “I did go to the kitchen and I gave her a hug and I told her, ‘I love you,'” Blanchard said on 60 Minutes Australia.
Despite wanting to end the years of her mother’s abuse, Blanchard still clung to the memories of the woman who raised her. “I remember holding a pillow that she slept with every night and crying into it and apologizing to this pillow as if it were her, and just saying, ‘I’m so sorry and I love you,’ and just taking in the scent of the pillow because, in a sense, it’s like saying goodbye,” she shared.
She also reminisced about what was going through her head as she heard the murder happening from the bathroom. “In that moment I wanted to help her,” Blanchard admitted. “The thought in my head was, ‘I want to help,’ but I was almost paralyzed in my own skin to move.”
Blanchard pled guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to ten years in prison. She completed her sentence in December 2023 and was released from behind bars on parole after serving eight years. Following her release, Blanchard moved in with Ryan Anderson, whom she married in 2022. However, the two split in March 2024, and Blanchard reunited with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The couple welcomed a daughter in December 2024.

I wish all news & social media would stop saying that DeeDee had MBP she was never diagnosed..that was the only defense Mike Stanfield could used, he couldn’t use spouse abuse because Nick lived in a different state all those years, they all need to see the court records.. and also if Gypsy was really abused she would not have pleaded guilty to either of it…. She was never abused DeeDee was by her own daughter the woman was sick autopsy reports show that…. Also Gypsy said to the detective her self that her mother was gone on the 9th, Nick did not get into Springfield until the 10th by the text messages! So it makes sense as why there are blood splatters in the kitchen & hallway she had more rage & hatred than he did

Please do more research and stop spreading misinformation information. Her mother was never diagnosed with MBP. In Gypsies medical files, the doctors noted that GYPSY was faking tests and malingering. Abuse of any kind was never mentioned in her interrogation. The MBP claim came from her lawyer, Mike stanfeild, and there was absolutely no proof. It was to get her off of life without parole or the DP. The sweetheart plea deal she got from the judge was political. She never had to see a jury. The police and investigators were very upset with the outcome. Read her FOIAs that have been released. That’s the real news with facts and proof.
