Macelli does say she understands that people have to take liberties with real stories. But throughout The Act’s run on Hulu Macelli and others have been speaking up about some questionable changes The Act’s creative team have decided to make to an already complicated story. Ok, all of that is to say, a lot of people have opinions about what went on between Gypsy and her mother and it will forever be impossible to know all of the details since Dee Dee cannot speak for her actions. It’s worth noting that Marcelli is the only “official” owner of Gypsy’s life story (per In Touch Weekly). The latter is being put together by Gypsy’s real step-mother (Kristy Blanchard) and family friend (and writer) Francesca “Fancy” Macelli.

And after The Act wraps up there’s set to be another retelling of Gypsy’s story By Proxy. Prior to The Act hitting Hulu, there was the HBO special documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest (by documentarian Erin Lee Carr). That 2016 article led to Dean leading the charge on bringing Gypsy’s story to Hulu. Michelle Dean wrote an in-depth article for BuzzFeedthat brought a very bright spotlight to the dark story behind Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the death of her mother Dee Dee. Sometimes it works out for the best, others it completely wrecks the source material they’re working from. Movies and television shows based on real-life events (like Hulu’s The Act) are always bound to take liberties for the sake of storytelling.

However, it’s possible that the Hulu series takes liberties which keep the story from being as dark as what happened in real life. (Photo by: Brownie Harris/Hulu) The Act has drawn a lot of attention for its depiction of a bazaar real story of a mother and her daughter. Dee Dee Blanchard (Patricia Arquette) and Gypsy Rose Blanchard (Joey King), shown. The Act - “Stay Inside” – Episode 104 - Gypsy’s getting older and Dee Dee is forced to new legal maneuvers to keep control of her “little girl.” But Dee Dee’s limited by her own health problems, and Gypsy goes to greater lengths than ever to connect with men and experience a sexual awakening.
