Gypsy Rose Blanchard Says ‘Prison Confessions’ Docuseries Puts Her Story In Its “Truest Light” – Contenders TV: Doc + Unscripted


The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard became a massive hit for Lifetime from the moment the first episode of the docuseries debuted.

The bizarre story has been told in a previous documentary and in a fictionalized adaptation, but The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard goes directly to the source. Executive producer Melissa Moore reached out to Gypsy several years ago as Blanchard was serving a 10-year prison sentence for second-degree murder.
