The Gypsy Rose Obsession | From PRETEND
Episode description as stored
For most of her life, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was in a wheelchair. She had a feeding tube, an oxygen tank, and a list of diagnoses long enough to fill a binder.
Then, in 2015, her mother was found stabbed to death in their home, and the world found out Gypsy could walk.
The story became a documentary, a TV series, a household name. Case closed.
But did she fake it all?
In this new series from PRETEND, host Javier Leiva investigates the online world that formed around the case, where no one is a reliable narrator.
This is part one of The Gypsy Rose Obsession. Listen to PRETEND wherever you get podcasts.
