Gypsy Rose Blanchard Sues Blogger for Alleged Fraud and Defamation
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison in 2023 after serving eight years for her involvement in the murder of her mother, is suing a blogger for alleged fraud, breach of contract, and defamation.
In a lawsuit obtained Monday by The Daily Beast, Blanchard says that blogger April Johns, who goes by the alias Franchesca or “Fancy” Macelli, misled her into signing a “Life Rights Option Agreement” to her own sensational story while she was incarcerated.
According to the lawsuit, Johns promised that, in exchange to the rights to her story, she would be able to procure a number of lucrative media projects for Blanchard. Instead, Blanchard says, Johns launched a hate campaign against her and leaked her confidential medical records online.
