'The Act' is a true crime series about Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Gypsy became the subject of national news attention in June 2015 when it was reported that she had been involved in the murder of her mother Dee Dee, who had abused her and forced her to pretend to suffer from multiple severe diseases.
Every time that she’s around Dee Dee, there’s a sense of performance-to manipulate her mom so that she thinks she’s this sweet little baby. When Dee Dee’s not there and Gypsy’s completely alone, you start to see that she’s becoming self-aware. In her moments of being alone is when we see the arc of sexuality really come to life.
That’s the thing: Gypsy’s a master manipulator. She was raised by one, and now she is one. It’s not her fault, and it’s going to be so hard for her to adapt to normal life. . . I pray for her that she’s able to find someone to talk to when she gets out, and starts to try and adjust to normal life and lead normal relationships.
Chloë SevignyOn the show, Lacey's mom Mel (Chloë Sevigny) is a fictionalized version of Aleah's mother, Amy Pinegar. It's true that Aleah Woodmansee was the only one who knew that Gypsy Rose Blanchard had a secret Facebook account. Gypsy used her Facebook alias "Emma Rose" to message boys.
Joe TippettThe Act has introduced Scott (Joe Tippett) to the Gypsy Rose saga and viewers are horrified. The Act premiered on Hulu last week (Mar 20). The critically acclaimed new drama stars Joey King and Patricia Arquette and is based on the true story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard.
She hasn't shared what her friendship is like with Gypsy today, but Woodmansee recently spoke with In Touch about The Act, and while she isn't watching the series, she isn't impressed with the portrayal she's getting based on the trailer for the series. “Honestly, I have not watched the show,” she said.
The murder of Dee Dee Blanchard is the true story The Act is based on. In June 2015, when Dee Dee was found stabbed to death inside her home, Gypsy was the most unlikely suspect.
Scott, the character introduced in “Two Wolverines,” seems to be loosely based on a real-life 35-year-old that Gypsy encountered in 2011 at a sci-fi convention.

Gypsy never thought she was going to get caught The panicked youngster was seen in a panic near policemen as Dee Dee's body was yet to be found. She was also seen expressing immediate regret at the murder of her mother, and was desperately attempting to cover her up.
Dee Dee's ex-husband and Gypsy's father Rod Blanchard told Buzzfeed that he paid Dee Dee $1200 in child support every month even after Gypsy turned 18 because he believed she still needed full-time care. “There was never a question whether or not I was going to stop paying,” Rod said.
Gypsy has stated it was only after Dee Dee's death that she realized the extent of her mother's deception. While Gypsy had known she could walk and eat regular food, she had believed she had leukemia. Today Gypsy is healthy. She's also said she enjoys more freedom in prison than in the life she shared with Dee Dee.
As for her teeth, they did rot and were subsequently removed, likely due to the removal of Gypsy's salivary glands. According to Gypsy, her mother used a numbing agent to numb her gums, causing her to drool, which helped convince doctors to remove the glands.
Actress Joey King, best known for her role as Gypsy Rose Blanchard in Hulu's The Act, shared a photo showcasing her super-toned abs. Joey loves to eat well and exercise, but her takes on diet, exercise, and body image are super refreshing.
