Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Joey King says she and Gypsy Rose Blanchard have recently been in touch. “She and I have privately talked a little bit, which has been really nice,” King told Variety on an upcoming episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast.
King portrayed Blanchard, a woman sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for the death mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard in Hulu’s limited series “The Act.” Blanchard was recently released from prison on parole in late December after serving eight years for the 2015 crime.
In Blanchard’s trial, she claimed that her mother suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy and had fabricated that Blanchard had illnesses including leukemia, asthma and muscular dystrophy.
She also alleged that her mother abused her by deliberately making her sick to back up her false claims. Blanchard and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, conspired to murder Dee Dee, with Godejohn stabbing and killing her in her home.
