Gypsy Rose Blanchard Claims Ex Found Murder Fantasies 'Arousing'

In her memoir, Gypsy Rose Blanchard opens up about her relationship with Nicholas Godejohn, who is serving a life sentence for his involvement in the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.

Dee Dee was found dead in June 2015 at the age of 48, having suffered multiple stab wounds in the home she shared with Gypsy in Mississippi. Gypsy later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 10-year prison sentence, while Godejohn, now 35, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, now 33, recounted meeting Nicholas Godejohn on a Christian dating website in 2012, a connection that quickly escalated into an explicit relationship.

Not long after connecting with Nicholas Godejohn online, Gypsy Rose Blanchard began creating sexually explicit videos at his request.

“Nick exposed me to a lot of sexually perverse things and ideas, but 10 years later, knowing now what I know about sex, he taught me all wrong,” she wrote in her memoir. “From what I’ve read, he didn’t have an accurate idea of BDSM (bondage, discipline, submission, and masochism), and he made it up as we went along.”

The ex-con then claimed, “The more he praised me for a ‘good job,’ after sucking on a dildo he had ordered from Japan, the more I believed he loved me. Of course, when I would do the videos ‘wrong,’ e.g., forgetting to call him ‘master’ or not being a dirty enough girl, he’d threaten to pull that love away.”

Nicholas Godejohn described an elaborate fantasy world to Gypsy Rose Blanchard, claiming he “lived amongst 12 alien soulmates of different species.”

This imagined universe also featured a villain named Victor, a 3,000-year-old vampire with a thirst for “rape and murder.” Gypsy alleged that Godejohn harbored an interest in necrophilia and even shared a disturbing fantasy about murdering and then raping his ex-girlfriend.

Additionally, she claimed that Godejohn made bizarre demands, such as asking her to slather her breasts with peanut butter or barbecue sauce and act out “unusual sexual behaviors with phallic objects.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn initially maintained a long-distance relationship, but after meeting in person, they began discussing the possibility of Gypsy moving to Wisconsin to live with him. It was around this time that the idea of killing Dee Dee started to surface in their conversations.

“We felt like our relationship was on the brink of collapse,” Gypsy recalled. “We believed we’d tried everything to be together, and now it was a matter of taking extreme measures.”

But she clarified, “It wasn’t one discussion like, ‘OK, how do we get rid of your mom?’ They were gradual conversations that were baked into an elaborate fantasy world Nick created. He shared with me that he got sexually aroused when he fantasized about murdering and then raping his ex-girlfriend, but our plot was more reminiscent of a soap opera.”

Gypsy recounted in her memoir, “And then I made the suggestion [of murder], to which Nick said, ‘Victor can do it. But you need to be the one to beg him,’” referencing the 3,000-year-old vampire villain from Godejohn’s elaborate fantasy world.

They eventually agreed on a “contract” in which Godejohn, acting as his alter ego Victor, would kill Dee Dee and then rape Gypsy.

“What was in Nick’s brain? I don’t know for sure, but it felt like I was being used to help him live out this fantasy as if he was playing around with characters that he created in his mind or in a video game,” Gypsy wrote. “And some of them were evil killers, and maybe it might be fun for him to play around with that darker side of life. Were we using each other?”

Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while Nicholas Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder and received a life sentence.

During the trial, Gypsy’s case drew significant public attention and sympathy as the details of her abuse emerged.
