Caught in the act.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, 32, has given her review of the Hulu series “The Act” — a dramatized crime series about her life and the murder of her mother.
The show premiered in 2019, starring Joey King as Gypsy Rose and Patricia Arquette as her mother, Dee Dee.
“I think Joey King did an amazing job playing me,” she told Us Weekly in an interview published on Friday.
“I was a little bit harder on Patricia Arquette playing my mom just because it’s my life. I am very hypercritical of it.”
“The Act” dramatized how Gypsy Rose’s mother, Dee Dee was accused of abusing her daughter by fabricating illnesses and disabilities due to Munchausen by proxy syndrome, a psychological disorder in which parents seek sympathy and attention through the exaggerated or made-up illness of their children.
The show also followed how Gypsy Rose asked her boyfriend to kill her mother.
In 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to murder for her role in killing her mother along with her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn — who is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole plus an additional 25 years for armed criminal action.
Gypsy Rose was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison. She was released from prison in December 2023 after eight years, on parole.
Since then, she divorced her husband, Ryan Anderson, 37. The two had tied the knot in July 2022 after they became pen pals while she was behind bars.
They were living together after Blanchard was released from Missouri’s Chillicothe Correctional Center.
But, at the end of March, in a private Facebook announcement, Blanchard said the couple had split and that she was moving back in with her dad and stepmother after “hitting a rough patch” with Anderson.
Meanwhile, the convicted felon has also has some aesthetic enhancements.

Keeping busy, Gypsy Rose also has a new docuseries titled “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up,” premiering on Lifetime June 3 at 9 p.m, which she told the outlet will depict “who [she is] today.”
“From the moment that I was released until [the] present, this has been something that I have wanted viewers to be along this journey with me because it has been so many ups and downs,” she said.
“When I was about to get released, I was sitting in my prison cell and I was thinking about all this and I’m like, ‘I’m so tired of this prison version of myself that I think people know me by.’ … I want to break that mold and show people who I am as an individual.”
She added that it’s been hard to adjust to life after her stint in prison.
“Everything around me is different. Even the language that people are using … they’re using newer slang than they used to,” she explained.
“I felt like I was the last to know that I was the sort of [this] pseudocelebrity, but I don’t like being labeled a celebrity. That’s just another title put on me by society, and I am just Gypsy.”
