Gypsy Rose Blanchard Calls Nicholas Godejohn 'Deeply Disturbed' In Long Rant
In a long rant on Instagram, claims she has "taken accountability" and is now "taking back her life."
Her social media post comes just one day after she officially completed her parole, following her release on December 28, 2024, after serving eight years of a 10-year sentence.
Not only did Gypsy Rose Blanchard open up about the next chapter in her life, but she also mentioned , her ex boyfriend who helped murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
Nicholas met Gypsy on a Christian dating site in 2012.
At the time, Gypsy was living under her mother's strict control, isolated from the outside world and desperate for connection. Their online relationship quickly became intense and unconventional. They exchanged explicit messages and discussed sexual fantasies, with Gypsy later testifying that Nicholas believed he had multiple personalities, one of which was violent and dominant.
Over time, Gypsy confided in Nicholas about the abuse she was suffering at the hands of her mother. Feeling trapped and hopeless, she turned to him for help. It was within this context that they began plotting Dee Dee's murder.
In June 2015, Nicholas traveled from Wisconsin to Missouri to carry out the plan they had discussed. While Gypsy hid in the bathroom, Nicholas stabbed Dee Dee multiple times in her bedroom. After the murder, the pair fled to Wisconsin, where they were arrested days later.
"When I accepted my sentence, I accepted the weight of my choices," Gypsy said in the lengthy Instagram post. "I served my time. That was my accountability and I've carried it for years. I don't owe the past anything more."
It was then that she went on to call Nicholas Godejohn a "deeply disturbed man" who "knew the difference between right and wrong."
"Regardless of my role of unintentional manipulations. This type of manipulation isn't rooted in malice; it's often a reflection of past trauma, fear of abandonment, or a lack of emotional tools," she continued. "The key difference is intent. The person is not trying to deceive or control, but the behavior still affects others and requires self-awareness and growth to correct."
Gypsy went on to explain how "Nicholas made the decision to move forward with that night" and how "that was a choice and he is not exempy from the consequences of that choice."
"His diagnosis of Autism/Asperger's does not excuse what he did," she claimed. "Mental health is complex, but accountability matters and no one is above the law. His fate was decided by a panel of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and 12 jury members who reviewed the same evidence circulating online. His efforts of appeals have all been unsuccessful, each court agreeing with the original conviction."
The ex-convict then told her followers that she "will not carry his actions on her shoulders any longer" and her next chapter is "one of healing, growth, and reclaiming her life."
"This is freedom, and I'm moving forward with clarity, peace, and self-forgiveness," Gypsy added. "The Justice system has decided. The case is closed. This is justice for DeeDee, as well as myself, who the system failed all my life."
As The Blast reported, many doctors accepted Dee Dee's explanations and falsified medical records at face value, and while a few raised concerns, no one followed through. One neurologist, Dr. Bernardo Flasterstein, noted that Gypsy displayed no symptoms of muscular dystrophy or other ailments Dee Dee reported. He suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy and documented it in his notes. Still, no report was made. No intervention followed.
Gypsy concluded by expressing her "continued prayers" for the Pitre family (Dee Dee's side of the family), admitting she is "deeply remorseful for the pain and heartbreak her actions have caused them."
"I recognize that nothing I say can undo the trauma or bring Dee Dee back, but from the depths of my heart, I will continue to express my sincerest apologies to them, now, and always," she wrote.
Now, Gypsy is ready to begin her next chapter as a free woman, a mom, and a partner to Ken Urker.

Atlanta homeowner says he spent $200K on building a house for resale — and then the city knocked a hole in it
An Atlanta property owner says he found part of his home demolished and alleges city workers were responsible, causing extensive damage just as he was planning additional work before he put the property on the market. WSB-TV 2 Atlanta reported that Ronaldo Norman and his brother, who co-own a real estate investment company, had spent about $200,000 building a home in Southwest Atlanta. But when Norman arrived at the site in May, he says he found a large hole in the side of the house and bulldozers on the property. "I saw demo bulldozers and a big hole in the side of the property," Norman said to Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln. According to Norman, the damage was caused by city workers — but so far, Atlanta officials haven't publicly commented on the incident. Here's what Norman says happened, and what legal options property owners may have in similar situations. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic.

Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Norman says he arrived at the site to find demolition equipment and a gaping hole in one of the walls. "Just think about it, come pulling up to your property, and you see a big hole in the wall, and no one can give me an explanation as to why," Norman complained. Norman alleges city workers took action because they thought his permit had expired. "May 22, the day after they expired, they came out here and put a hole in my property," Norman told reporters. He maintains the property was still in compliance, claiming he had filed for and received a six-month permit extension before the incident. Whether a home is under renovation or fully built, city governments must follow a legal process before demolishing a structure. Generally, a property owner would receive notice along with time to rectify any issues. Norman says he never received any such notice. City official's only response, he claims, has been to advise him to seek legal counsel. "This right here is a major setback because now we may have foundation issues," Norman said.

In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how While rare, incidents like this show how important it is for property owners to protect their investments and to act quickly if something goes wrong. With no answers from Atlanta officials, the Normans may have to pursue legal action to recoup their losses. Here's what that process could look like — and what other homeowners should know if they ever find themselves in a similar situation. Consult a lawyer Because of a legal concept called sovereign immunity, suing a city can be complicated, but Georgia law does allow homeowners to file claims for damages, as long as they follow the right process. File a notice of claim This is a formal document notifying the city that you intend to pursue compensation. The time for doing so varies by State and Municipality and can be relatively short; your local lawyer should know this. Missing this deadline could prevent your case from moving forward. Collect all documentation This includes: Building permits and extension filings Photos or videos showing the damage Invoices and receipts for materials and labor Emails or letters from city agencies Any inspection reports or code violation notices (or proof that none were issued) Request records from the city Filing an Open Records Request may reveal internal miscommunications or mistaken permit data that triggered the demolition.

Body of missing 55-year-old fisherman found days after disappearance in Youghiogheny River
The body of a missing fisherman has been found, according to police. Connellsville police told KDKA-TV that the body of 55-year-old Jerry Grimm was found in Dawson, Pa. Search crews began looking for Grimm on Wednesday night when he was first reported missing after he went wading into the Youghiogheny River. Witnesses told police that they had lost sight of Grimm when he went around a bend, and that is where first responders and search parties focused their search this week. "Witnesses described the male being in one position, and then essentially started to move down river, and unfortunately, with the way that the river flows, there's a bend when it reaches the Crawford Avenue Bridge, and they unfortunately lost sight of him at that point," Connellsville Police Sergeant Bryan Kendi said. On Wednesday, crews utilized boats, divers, and air support to search for Grimm. The search was expected to continue on Thursday, but according to the New Haven Hose Company and Connellsville Police, they made the decision to suspend the search, saying that Wednesday's search yielded no results or sightings. Risks on the Yough River Prior to Grimm's disappearance, public safety officials had been warning people to exercise caution on the Yough River. Just over a week ago, an experienced kayaker drowned in the Yough River. And earlier this month, three kayakers also had to be rescued when water levels were even higher. "Weeks previous to this, we've had a lot of rain. The occupancy dam is just a few miles up the river. They are letting water out. It's causing the current to increase. And even though it's a nice sunny day, the water is up. The current is moving faster than normal, and it becomes a hazard for anybody who's going to go into this water," Kendi said.
