Gypsy Rose Blanchard Has Seen 1 Episode of 'The Act' — and She Has Mixed Feelings

Transcript

00:00 I watched the first episode of the show and wow,

00:03 it is powerful, it is moving, and it's your story.

00:06 I mean, is that really why you wanted to invite cameras

00:09 into your life so soon after you left prison?

00:13 Is this your opportunity to give your version of events?

00:17 - Yes, absolutely.

00:18 So, you know, from the moment that I was released

00:22 until present, you know, this has been something

00:25 that I have wanted viewers to be along this journey with me

00:29 because it has been so many ups and downs.

00:32 And, you know, going back to the prison confessions

00:35 of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, you know, that's when it started.

00:39 And then this is a continuation on.

00:42 And so, when I was about ready to get released,

00:45 I was sitting in my prison cell

00:47 and I was thinking about all this and I'm like, you know,

00:50 I am so tired of this prison version of myself

00:54 that I think people know me by and putting labels on me

00:57 that I want to kind of break that mold

00:59 and show people who I am as an individual,

01:02 take off the prison khakis, take off the ID badge,

01:05 and be presented as who I am.

01:09 - You know, I think that's so important.

01:10 And I know that you said earlier this year

01:12 that you hadn't watched the Hulu show, "The Act."

01:15 Is that still true?

01:16 And is that maybe another reason

01:18 why you wanted to do this show?

01:19 Because you can kind of set the record straight.

01:22 - Right, I watched one episode, the first episode,

01:25 and I think Joey King did an amazing job playing me.

01:29 I was a little bit harder on Patricia Arquette

01:32 playing my mom, just because it's like, it's my life.

01:36 I am very hypercritical of it.

01:38 And so, I think, you know, this show is about who I am today.

01:45 And I kind of feel like with the prison confessions,

01:49 I've already cleared up so much misinformation

01:52 as to my past.

01:54 And so this is very future-based.
