Where is Gypsy Rose Blanchard now? How true is The Act on Hulu? The Act does an incredible job of telling Gypsy's story without sensationalising it. Gypsy became the subject of national news attention in June 2015 when it was reported that she had been involved in the murder of Dee Dee, who had abused her and forced her to pretend to suffer from multiple severe diseases. The Act tells the disturbing true story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard ( Joey King) and her mum Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette).
