Gypsy Rose Blanchard Has Changed a Lot From Then to Now: Photos of Her Transformation Today

She suffered years of abuse at the hands of late mom Dee Dee Blanchard, who likely had Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental illness that causes caretakers to fake symptoms to make it appear a child is sick. Dee Dee put her daughter through a series of unnecessary medical treatments, including removal of her salivary glands and several other surgeries. The abuse only ended when Gypsy conspired to kill her mother with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.

Upon her release, Gypsy returned and soon began posting selfies, showing fans how much she’s changed since people first became aware of her case, including undergoing a rhinoplasty. While Gypsy went for a different look with blonde hair, it didn’t last, and she soon went back to her natural brown.
