Gypsy Rose Blanchard details what she heard in her mom’s final moments as boyfriend murdered her

While Gypsy Rose Blanchard's controversial story is well known across the globe, she has now talked about her mother's final moments in her own words.

There's been a lot of speculation over the last decade since Gypsy Rose snuck her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn into her home to murder her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.

It took place on the night of June 10, 2015, when Gypsy and Nicholas decided to carry out their cruel plan to take Dee Dee's life - who was believed to have had a mental illness called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which saw her induce multiple illnesses in Gypsy throughout her childhood.

After letting Nicholas into her home, Gypsy claims in her new memoir, My Time to Stand, that she took three Vicodin and went into the bathroom, all the while knowing her mom was about to be murdered.

Gypsy, now 33, wrote: "I went to the bathroom, sat on the floor and covered my ears. Except I heard. I heard everything."

"Nick entered the room soundlessly because there was no bedroom door, so when she finally woke up it must have been because he was standing over her, not because of any noise," she recalled. "She was startled."

Despite being in the bathroom, Gypsy writes about 'hearing her as if her voice was muffled' and that she heard Dee Dee ask 'Who are you?'

She goes on: "I just heard the screaming and then I lay in the fetal position with my hands pressed hard over my ears. But I could still hear things."

Gypsy then said she thought she heard a 'pause' in her boyfriend's brutal stabbing, and that it "sounded like she may have had a pool of blood in her mouth because I heard her say with a gargle, 'Gypsy. Gypsy'."

Instead of helping her mom or trying to stop Nicholas from killing her, she wrote how she 'stayed very, very still. I was trying to focus on my breathing'. "There weren’t thoughts going through my head at all," she penned. "It was like I was locked inside a cloud, with the out-of-reach Earth spinning below me.

"Nothing was real. I was a simulation, as I focused on taking my next breath, and the next. And then I heard one sharp, ‘Help me!'."

Gypsy Rose then wrote that Nicholas had her help to clean him up, before he raped her.

The paid then fled the scene of the crime, leaving Dee Dee's body in the bedroom, having been stabbed 17 times in the back.

Police records state that before making their escape, the pair also stole more than $4,400 before heading to a motel.

They were arrested and charged in the days following, before Gypsy eventually pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while Nicholas was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole, plus 25 years for armed criminal action.

Gypsy was released on parole from prison on December 28, 2023, after serving eight years of her 10-year sentence, and went on to feature in a documentary called Gypsy-Rose: Life After Lock Up.

There was also a drama series based on the murder, called The Act, and Gypsy Rose said she finally wanted to put things in her own words.

As fans who've been following Gypsy's journey since her release will know, she's had quite the whirlwind since her release - she's filed for divorce from her husband Ryan Anderson, and has rekindled a romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The pair are now expecting their first child.
