Gypsy Rose Blanchard-Anderson is continuing to reveal alleged abuses she endured from her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, including how she reportedly believes she put a 'voodoo hex' on her.

As you know, the 32-year-old was recently released from prison after serving 85% of her 10-year sentence for pleading guilty to second-degree murder of her own mother.

Gypsy Rose is believed to be a victim of her mother as investigators uncovered Dee Dee had suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder where the caretaker either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick to get charity or sympathy.

Not only did Dee Dee allegedly convince doctors to perform unnecessary surgeries on Gypsy, but she also convinced medical personnel, and Gypsy herself, that she was paralyzed from the waist down, needed a feeding tube, and was vision impaired, among many other disorders and illnesses.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Describes Abuse She Endured From Her Mother

As The Blast previously reported, Gypsy Rose Blanchard-Anderson is opening up and detailing some of the abuse she endured from her mother in her new Lifetime docuseries, ‘The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard,' including how she was chained to her bed for two weeks with handcuffs and a dog leash.

Dee Dee then became physically abusive, hitting Gypsy with her hands or items, such as coat hangers. She is believed to have done all of these things to try and control Gypsy and her life.

In her new docuseries, Gypsy Rose describes part of the abuse she endured as a 'voodoo hex,' explaining that her mom even bought a mason jar and filled it with photos of Gypsy and Dan, a man Gypsy snuck out of the house to meet at one point before Dee Dee chained her to the bed.

Dee Dee then placed a cow's tongue and a drop of Gypsy's menstrual blood in the jar and buried it in the backyard. At the time, she reportedly told Gypsy, “You will never find love. You will never be happy."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Believed Her Mother's Words

Gypsy believed the words that her mother told her, explaining in her Lifetime docuseries, “I just think it’s true because like, every time I get close to someone, they leave me.”

She went on to explain details of her 2019 engagement to a man named Ken while she was in prison, but he ended up dumping her, leaving Gypsy devastated. Because of her experiences with love and relationships, she says she "always bring[s] it back to that curse, where I believe it’s true,” she says in the docuseries while getting emotional. “She never wanted me to find love or be happy, and I just kind of feel like that stuck.”

Gypsy Rose eventually found love with her husband, Ryan Anderson, whom she got married to in a prison wedding last June.
