I am so sick of hearing about her daily in the media. And her name is so dumb.

Gypsy killed her abuser, her lifelong abuser, just like some woman do when their husband’s beat them. Except in this case, Gypsy was a child, with no agency, no ability to leave. WTAF was she supposed to do.

I cannot believe that anyone would judge Gypsy for what she did. If this was Ruby Frankie’s kid who killed her to escape the abuse or one of the Turpin kids who killed their parent in order to get free, would you be so judgmental? She served her time. Get over it.

+1 Gypsy probably recognized that her mom's antics would kill her (maybe not purposely, but with all the crap she was forced to take? yes) eventually and killing mom was the only way out. She did attempt to get help multiple times only for her not to be believed and returned to her mother to be beaten ruthlessly and the leash to be further tightened. Also, mom had power of attorney and told people that Gypsy was mentally incapable, so Gypsy was not believed even more.

I didn't follow the case closely at the time but I always wondered why there wasn't a mutual agreement that psychiatric care was in order vs. prison.


Why do people think she didn’t receive any psychiatric care in prison? She was there for almost 10 years and was released early based partially on her current mental state.

Society had been obsessed with this case for a long time ;I remember the Hulu miniseries on this with Patricia Arquette). Once she was released magazines, photographers, podcasters, tv producers, Tik Tokers,
True crime people, etc were all going to be making money off of her story (and have been). Why shouldn’t she be the one to cash those checks? I don’t get the angst.


I agree. You can hear the therapy in her vocie and how to approaches topics so she's gotten some help. She's sounds conpletely different from now and is quite well spoken. Now some people use therapy to become a better manipulator but it's too early to say that's what she's doing. I appreciate she's been curb thr idea that what she did was okay in interviews. She felt like that was her only option at the time to cope but it obviously wasn't.

I think PP was saying she believed in a psychiatric hospital not prison. I agree.

She has said that being in prison was a happier time and gave her more freedom and independence and autonomy than being at home with her mother.

Let that sink in.

I absolutely agree with this. Don't forget the persistent emotional abuse and torture.

I can't stand her voice or face. Homegirl needs extreme therapy.

She's on my bingo card for 2024. Specifically I said: JRB will get super famous & divorce her husband.

I also have DWTS or The Masked Singer will be graced by the presence of JRB and/or George Santos.

Of course she has mental illness given what her mother did to her.

+1

Gypsy was screwed. Her only way out was for her mom to die. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the only way she was going to be free. IMO Gypsy is just as manipulative as her mom. And I don’t like how we are celebrating her. It’s complicated nothing about this has easy answers. I don’t think she will end up doing well in life.

Gross.
-anyone who has ever known a 17 year old male.

This was an early example of her mom’s inappropriate behavior. Gypsy said that her grandfather sexually abused her so I wonder if he also abused her mom, Dee Dee. Dee Dee’s mom also had something of a Munchausen by proxy relationship with her.

Many people don’t believe she murdered her mom many believe she killed her in self defense.
