Gypsy Rose Blanchard: Queen of the Matricides
Alright PWR Crew, buckle in. Tonight we’re not just talking about “poor little Gypsy.” We’re talking about what the crime really was — matricide. That word matters.
Because in all the documentaries, Lifetime movies, podcasts, and now TikTok “fandoms,” you’ll hear about a trumped up diagnosis of Munchausen by proxy, Dee Dee’s control, and Gypsy’s “escape.” But what you won’t hear is the cold, hard truth: Gypsy Rose killed her mother. And now her PR machine is making sure you forget it.
Gypsy’s Narrative Machine
While digging into this case, I typed into Google: “Will matricide be on the rise thanks to Gypsy Rose Blanchard?”
What came back? The same cookie-cutter article cloned across different websites. Identical sections: background, Dee Dee’s life, supposed Munchausen by proxy, poor Gypsy at the end. Same spin, same sympathy, dressed up like it’s a “deep dive.” It’s not journalism — it’s PR. Gypsy’s team is pumping out her narrative so it dominates search results, and that infuriates me.
She’s not just rewriting her story, she’s hijacking the entire narrative of matricide itself.
What “Parricide, Patricide, and Matricide” Really Mean
Let’s get terms straight:
-
Parricide = killing one’s parent(s).
-
Patricide = killing one’s father.
-
Matricide = killing one’s mother.
Rare crimes, sure, but real. According to FBI data, parricide accounts for about 2% of homicides in the U.S. In 2017 alone, 169 mothers were killed by their children.
And here’s the kicker: it’s not usually the “mentally ill teen” stereotype you’re fed. Most parricides are committed by adult, middle-class white males with no prior criminal history. But recently? More teens are stepping into that category.
Is Teen Matricide Rising After Gypsy?
Research out of the U.K. shows a rise in mothers killed by sons after 2016. That’s just one year after Gypsy’s case. Coincidence? Maybe. But the timing is chilling.
And the media doesn’t help. The way Gypsy’s story gets spun online — tragic heroine, survivor, influencer-in-waiting — sends the wrong message. That you can kill your mom, get a Hulu show, snag a husband, and monetize it all.
This isn’t “inspiration.” It’s influence. And it’s dangerous.
Why Abuse & Dysfunction Matter — But Don’t Excuse
Yes, Dee Dee was abusive. Sleeping in the same bed with your daughter for years, shaving her head for sympathy, controlling her identity? But proof has come out that Dee Dee was controlling an out-of-control GRB with real medical and behavioral issues from those diagnoses.
So yes, Dee Dee was wrong. But abuse does not equal an automatic excuse for murder.
Studies show that most adolescent parent-killers don’t even have mental illness histories. The common thread is dysfunction: chaotic homes, unchecked power struggles, cycles of neglect, or escalating violence.
Sound familiar? Because Gypsy wasn’t just abused — she was running that pink playhouse herself by the end. And when Nicholas Godejohn came in as her “rescuer,” he became her weapon.
The Carly Greg Case: Teen Matricide in Real Time
If you think Gypsy’s influence isn’t reaching teens, think again. This year, 14-year-old Carly Madison Greg allegedly shot her mother, then texted a friend to come see the body.
That’s the reality we’re living in — teen girls crossing the line, some abused, some dangerously antisocial, and all of them navigating the chaos of broken homes. The difference is, none of them are getting Hulu deals.
Final Thoughts
Matricide is one of the rarest crimes in the world. And yet here we are, with Gypsy Rose Blanchard crowned in pop culture as “queen survivor,” while the real truth is buried under her PR spin.
She’s not just a girl who “escaped.” She committed matricide. And until we start saying that word out loud, we’re just letting her — and her team — control the story.
Wake up. The data is shifting. The cases are adding up. And the Gypsy Rose narrative is not harmless entertainment — it’s influencing lives.
