Summary

Host Javier Leyva visits Gypsy Rose Blanchard in Louisiana to address inconsistencies in her story, particularly regarding her mobility and medical history. The episode examines newly released FOIA records, including private videos with ex-boyfriend Nick Godejohn that reveal role-playing dynamics and contradict her claims of paralysis. Critics argue these files suggest Gypsy was complicit in the deception, while she maintains she was a victim of Munchausen by proxy.
