Dee Dee Blanchard was a Missouri mother who was murdered by her daughter and a boyfriend in 2015 after having claimed for years that her daughter, Gypsy Rose, was sick and disabled; to the point of shaving her head, making her use a wheelchair in public, and subjecting her to unnecessary medication and surgery. Gypsy possessed no outstanding illnesses. Feldman said it is the first case he is aware of in a quarter-century of research where the victim killed the abuser. Their story was shown on HBO's documentary film "Mommy Dead and Dearest" and is featured in the first season of the Hulu anthology series "The Act". Gypsy Rose pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving a ten year sentence, her boyfriend was convicted of first-degree murder and is sentenced to life in prison without parole.
