Her mother made her pretend to be sickly and disabled in a Munchausen syndrome scenario.
Her boyfriend got a raw deal. He’s in prison for life without parole. He’s autistic and has other disabilities, and she talked him into the crime, but the court had no mercy on him.
This is something that has been bothering me a lot lately. Gypsy Rose is absolutely a victim, but the only real relationship she had was her incredibly mentally ill, manipulative abusive mother and I have no doubt that she unintentionally used similar tactics with her ex boyfriend to try and get herself out. She didn’t know any other way to love, and it’s awful. I really hope that she finds peace in her life and can move on but the ex needs justice as well.
That’s just screwed up. We need to reform how punishments are handed out
Good. She was in prison for too long already.
