Gypsy Rose Blanchard Prison Interview Dr. Phil
Dr. Phil sits down with Gypsy Rose
Blanchard in prison to interview her about
her mother Dee Dee and the various
illnesses that her mother told her she
had. This includes muscular dystrophy and
epilepsy, and it was the medicine for the
latter that caused her teeth to fall out.
In the months after Gypsy and boyfriend
Nick Godejohn murdered Gypsy's mother, it
was concluded that her mother had likely
been suffering from the mental disorder
known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy,
whereby a parent or caregiver applies an
imaginary illness or injury to a person
under his or her care, in Dee Dee's case
her daughter.
