Former inmates who claim to have spent time behind bars with Gypsy Rose Blanchard have come forward with new stories about the convicted killer.
Tuesday Sparks opened up about her experience with Gypsy after the pair incarnated together at the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri.
Gypsy was released on parole in December after she and her ex-lover Nicholas Godejohn were arrested in July 2015 for the death of her mother Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard.
The couple’s ‘inseparable’ bond ended when Gypsy broke free of her mother’s twisted control in 2015 by allowing her smitten Internet boyfriend, Godejohn, to sneak into the home she shared with her mother in Springfield, Missouri, before he stabbed 48-year-old Dee Dee 14 times. .
Godejohn and Gypsy were arrested and sentenced to prison terms, with Gypsy being jailed for 10 years for second-degree murder in July 2016 and Godejohn being ordered to serve life behind bars for first-degree murder in February 2019.

TikToker Tuesday Sparks posted a video detailing her time with Gypsy Rose Blanchard at the Chillicothe Correctional Center.
Tuesday, who said she was incarcerated from 2018 to 2022, revealed that she was Gypsy’s roommate for a time during her time in confinement.
She told online viewers that Gypsy was “very childish” while they were in jail together, but that she still “stood up for what she believed in.”
She said: “I’m not saying she was a stalker by any means, but when she was treated unfairly, she definitely reported it.”
The offender explained that in prison Gypsy liked to comb her hair, take care of her skin and put on makeup, and that “she loved having her photos taken.”
While Tuesday described the gypsy she met in prison favorably, other girls have said they also served time with her but were not as positive about their experience.
The alleged cellmates, who posted videos online but did not give their names, claimed that Gypsy “bragged” about her role in her mother’s death.
“He literally bragged about giving Nick the knife in there,” a cellmate said.
According to a probable cause statement, Godejohn told police that Gypsy asked him to kill her mother and that she hid in the bathroom while he stabbed the woman.
Nicholas was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He has since decided to appeal his sentence.

He stabbed her in the back while holding her face down on the bed.
Police believe Gypsy gave him the knife. The couple then mailed the murder weapon to her home in Big Bend so he wouldn’t be caught with it.
One said she “didn’t care” about Godejohn and claimed that “his stories changed all the time.”
However, on Tuesday he appeared to be more understanding of Gypsy’s circumstances, saying he had told her that “in prison I felt more freedom than ever.”
She said: ‘Gypsy didn’t ask for any of this, she didn’t ask for her case to become famous, she didn’t ask for people to follow her, she didn’t ask for there to be a camera outside. the prison when they let her out; She didn’t ask for any of that.
‘Nothing in his life was normal, ever, from a very young age. So, I think he definitely acted irrationally, but it’s what he’s seen his whole life from him.
Gypsy commented on Tuesday’s video and showed appreciation for his point of view.
‘FINALLY words from someone who REALLY knew me in prison. Many want to defame my character simply to be recognized. Tuesday, thank you girl for telling the truth,’ Gypsy replied.

From a young age, Gypsy faced years of abuse at the hands of her mother, who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Dee Dee claimed that Gypsy suffered from a variety of illnesses including leukemia and muscular dystrophy. He even went so far as to shave Gypsy’s head, force her to sit in a wheelchair, extract some of her teeth, and parade her at charity events, among other things.

“She was like a nobody there, really,” he said.
