Gypsy Rose Blanchard had limited contact with the outside world in her youth thanks to her mother's abuse via Munchausen by proxy, but she still managed to have some interests growing up. The Lifetime series The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard showed photos of Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee, attending conventions and Gypsy cosplaying as characters from Star Wars or other franchises. With so many upcoming Star Wars movies on the way, CinemaBlend wanted to know if her experience impacted her love of the franchise and cosplay.

CinemaBlend and others were invited to participate in a press event in support of The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. When the Star Wars and cosplay question was posed to Gypsy, she touched on a recurring issue that will impact her life after release from prison and admitted that there will always be issues with things she connected to her mother, especially when it comes to cosplay.
