2024 is already off to a hot start, especially regarding the 2024 TV schedule, which features what may be one of the most-watched true crime docuseries of the next 12 months: The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. The Lifetime series answered a lot of questions viewers had about her life and the murder case surrounding her imprisonment, but left some avenues uncrossed, such as why seemingly no one tried to step in and have her removed from Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard care. Thankfully, CinemaBlend was able to pose that question to Gypsy herself.
For a press event attended by CinemaBlend and other outlets, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson joined executive producer Melissa Moore in support of The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. After my question was posed, and she was asked about why no one tried to remove her from Dee Dee's custody, the 32-year-old responded with a story about the one time an outside organization did enter the picture, and how her mother responded.

00:00 from Mike Jost at Cinema Blend. Watching this documentary, there's an incredible amount of
00:05 times when family or professionals could have stepped in and removed you from your mother's
00:09 care. In your opinion, do you have any insight as to why that never happened?
00:14 You know, I think a big part of it was there was people that had suspicions, family included,
00:23 but nobody just wants to rock the boat, you know, so it wasn't brought up to other people,
00:29 it wasn't talked about. So people kind of kept their suspicions to themselves just for fear of
00:35 upsetting my mom and her ultimately pushing them away as friends or whatnot. So I think that
00:43 on the professional standpoint, I think that for those doctors that did have suspicions,
00:51 I think it all has to do with money, honestly, and that's just my, that's my opinion about it.
00:55 You know, they were making money off of me. And so I think that in their profession,
01:01 I think that that came first. I remember Gypsy, we had discussed that CPS came to your house at
01:09 one point. Remind me about that. Yeah. Tell us about that. They did come to my house. And
01:18 basically, they were asking me the wrong questions. So they were looking, they're like,
01:22 show me your arm, show me your legs. And they were checking for bruises. And at that point,
01:27 my mom never hit me. They wasn't asking the right questions to me.
01:32 Yeah. So nothing was ever, ever done, nothing like there was no follow up report or anything.
01:40 They came the one time, and then they closed the file. And if I recall from our conversation,
01:47 this happened in the Habitat for Humanity house on Volunteer Way. Is that my memories? Right? Yeah.
01:54 One thing that if I recall, this is just my memory. I think after that incident, when CPS came,
02:00 believe you were telling me your mom became more paranoid about strangers and put garbage bags over
02:08 the windows. Right, right. Tell us about that. She became like increasingly more paranoid after
02:15 that visit from CPS. And she actually went as far as to remove the doorbell on the door.
02:21 Because she was just so paranoid about them coming back.
