Hello, it's Andrea Dunlop, and today on Nobody Should Believe Me, we have a very special episode that is a full-circle moment for me and the show, my conversation with Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

It seems unlikely that anyone listening would be unfamiliar with Gypsy's story, but as a refresher, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is an American woman who, after suffering lifelong munchausen by proxy abuse, conspired with her online boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to kill her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, in June of 2015.

Gypsy pled guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 and received a 10-year prison sentence.

She was paroled on December 28, 2023, after serving about eight years.

Gypsy and her story have been the subject of major media attention, including documentaries, dramatizations, a reality show, and extensive tabloid coverage.

And we're going to talk about all of that today.

So without further ado, here's my conversation with Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Hey, it's Andrea.

It's come to my attention that some of you have been served programmatic ads for ice on my show.

Now podcasters don't get a lot of control over which individual ads play and for whom on our shows, but please know that we are trying everything we can to get rid of these by tightening our filters.

And if you do continue to hear them, please do let us know.

In the meantime, I want it to be known that I do not support ice.

I am the daughter of an immigrant.

I stand with immigrants.
