Do you know who Gypsy is?
“Yes I do know who Gypsy rose Is, she’s the girl that got put in jail for being involved with the murder of her mother right?”
How do you feel about her release?
“I think she deserved that release because she’s been abused for so long and she had to go to jail for the involvement even though she didn’t actually kill her mom, her boyfriend did but I think she learned a lot while in jail.”
What is your opinion on her as a person?
“Well what I’m hearing is that she’s a very manipulative person and apparently she’s just like her mom, minus the abusive parts though but nobody knows what goes on behind doors but her and her husband but I think she’s sweet and smart and knows how to use her words.”
Have you seen some of her interviews?
“Yes I have seen one of them or partly saw on TikTok, that’s where people got the idea she may be a manipulative person because in the interview you see her trying to be controlling with her husband.”

Despite the mixed opinions on Gypsy-Rose and her new found presence on the internet, she still continues to be active on her social media. She has a show that explains her case a bit more despite all the backlash the show has received. It’s called “The Act”. Gypsy has also gone on various media outlets to promote her upcoming book and her new documentary. We believe that Gypsy will make the most of her time in the limelight and thus opinions will form.
