Why Did Gypsy Rose Go to Prison?

Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years in prison for her involvement in the murder of her mother.

It’s believed that Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental disorder that caused the mother of one to fabricate Gypsy’s age and various medical ailments, including leukemia and muscular dystrophy, to gain sympathy and benefit from charitable organizations.

Gypsy was given special treatment due to her ailments, including being given free trips to Disneyland and having well-wishers pay the family’s bills.

Her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, was convicted of first-degree murder for his role and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus an additional 25 years for armed criminal action in February 2019. For her part, Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to murder for her role in the killing in July 2016 but was later granted parole and released after serving 85 percent of her sentence.

Following Gypsy’s arrest, it was determined that her mother had falsified numerous medical diagnoses and the years of abuse her mother inflicted were deemed to be the motive in the June 2015 murder.
