Before the death of Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, Gypsy Rose Blanchard sent her ex-boyfriend a chilling video that showed her part in the murder.
Gypsy Rose was born in 1991 but sadly wouldn't have a conventional childhood, as Dee Dee convinced everyone, including medical professionals, that her daughter was plagued with illnesses.
DeeDee outlined that Gypsy Rose had asthma, epilepsy, hearing and vision impaired, was fed with a feeding tube, was paralyzed from the waist down, had learning difficulties, muscular dystrophy, leukemia, lung disease, incontinence, heart murmur, anemia, hypoventilation, and quadriplegia.
Gypsy Rose was confined to a wheelchair and subjected to a litany of medications, surgeries, and invasive treatments, including the removal of her salivary glands and the extraction of her rotting teeth.
Dee Dee had falsified these claims as Gypsy was a healthy child but was the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
After years of abuse, Gypsy sought the help of Nicholas Godejohn, whom she had met on a Christian dating website, to free her from her mother's clutches.
In June 2015, the pair hatched a plan to murder Dee Dee, but before the killing took place, Gypsy sent Nicholas a video that only her attorneys were aware of before now.
In Lifetime's The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a new docuseries, Gypsy said: "This is something I never revealed before to anyone except for attorneys.
"I made a video for Nick, like a walkthrough of what the house layout looked like, what my mother's bedroom looked like, because he would be walking into her room in the dark."
She continued: "I made the stabbing motion because I was high all of the time on pain pills. The side effects of those create this disconnection to reality."
The footage, which will be revealed in the series, shocked Gypsy's legal team at the time as she had downplayed her role in the murder in police interviews.
"One of the things that was presented was this cell phone video Gypsy had taken and it shows her walking through her mother's bedroom and she points at the mattress and makes a stabbing motion with her hand. The video, that was a very hard pill to swallow," said attorney Mike Stanfield.
He added: "We had no other case to look at, we had no precedent for this and we also weren't sure that there was even a defense we could raise. If we went to trial and we lost, Gypsy would die in prison, she would spend the rest of her life behind bars."
Dee Dee's life came to an end in 2015 when she was murdered in her own home by Godejohn.
That fateful night, Gypsy Rose let Nicholas into their home and hid in the bathroom while he brutally stabbed her mom to death, before the then-couple ran away together.

Dee Dee was found dead in a pool of her own blood days later and Nicholas and Gypsy Rose were tracked down in Wisconsin, where they'd escaped to via a bus.
With the circumstances taken into account, Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, resulting in a prison sentence of 10 years, of which she served seven before her release on December 28, 2023.
Nicholas was handed a life sentence for the murder.
