 We have talked a lot about the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case on this channel. In fact, I even have an entire playlist of it. And this might be my final topic on the subject for a while until some more news or updates come out. But before I stop talking about the subject, I really think that it's important that we talk about the other victims in the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, I try to pull different topics from pop culture or the YouTube community or just society in general and try to see what lessons we can learn from them. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And in case you didn't get the memo, I am all up on social media. So make sure that you're following me over at the Rewired Soul on Instagram, as well as Twitter. I'm always trying to get involved with all of you, post different polls, engage with you and all that kind of good stuff. All right, so yeah, the act season finale just happened. But as we talked about in the last video, there's some stuff that was left out or some stuff that was added in. And the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case has a lot more going on with it. And there may be some other video topics that I think of, but this is something that I just really wanted to talk about. So yeah, just to catch you up on this up to speed, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was charged with second degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee. And it's because her and her boyfriend planned the murder of her mother, Dee Dee. Her boyfriend, Nick Goderjohn, is the one who actually took the knife and killed Dee Dee's mother. But Dee Dee was the victim of Munchausen by proxy. Her mother made her believe she had all these illnesses, forced her to be in a wheelchair, emotionally abused her, verbally abused her, physically abused her, all that kind of stuff, right? And there was a ton of empathy around Gypsy Rose Blanchard. And that's something that I've just been talking a lot about on this channel because Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a very unique case, all right? Very unique case, all the attention is on her, but I don't know, it seems like not enough people are talking about the other victims of this case, all right? So the first one I wanna talk about, like most obviously is Nick Goderjohn, okay? Nick Goderjohn is somebody who is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. He is not mentally or emotionally matured for his age, this is something that we know, okay? This is a diagnosis. His brain does not function correctly. And I've mentioned about this in other videos, but he was manipulated by Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Now, here's the thing, and I just wanna open up, you know, a conversation and have discussions about this because, yes, Nick Goderjohn was at fault and there are some, you know, other videos and articles that I've read about this. This is one of the reasons why Nick Goderjohn got life in prison without the possibility of parole because he doesn't have like severe autism spectrum disorder. And, you know, something that, you know, my beautiful girlfriend Tristan brought up as we were watching this was, Nick Goderjohn kind of introduced Gypsy Rose Blanchard to certain things, right? Like there's a lot of things around like, you know, the BDSM and everything like that. So, yeah, Nick Goderjohn definitely does have some responsibility in this. So I don't wanna say like, oh no, he just got manipulated, he was just a pawn in Gypsy's game, but I do think it's important to talk about, you know, his mental capacity, right? So, somebody with the lack of brain development and things like that, they're going to get very emotionally attached to somebody. One would argue that Gypsy Rose Blanchard was in the same way, but obviously it was much different. So, this is something that I don't think the show that act on Hulu quite depicted that well. Like it seemed kind of like this was like this, kind of like, wham bam, you know, murder type deal. The reality is, in this story, in this story, there was a long time, a long time of planning this murder. And this is one of the reasons they both got charged, right? This wasn't just like a real quick thing. There was a lot of premeditation that went involved into this thing. But, at what point, at what point did Gypsy Rose Blanchard take advantage of Nick's love for her, knowing that she could get Nick to do these things? And I think I really wanted to make this video when they showed the court scene in the act where Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nick Godajal were getting charged together and it was gonna be like a case and a trial with both of them. But then Gypsy Rose Blanchard's, you know, lawyer got them separated, two different cases, right? And the actor who played Nick Godajal was just like, like he did a great job just like this kind of shock, right? Just like, wait, what, right? And Gypsy Rose Blanchard was very detached from that situation, kind of like this every man for himself type deal, right? And you just see Nick's face and I'm like, oh my God, right? Because, again, like he was manipulated into this situation, both were at fault. But like it makes me question, like with all the manipulation that I've talked about and, you know, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was raised a manipulator and everything like that, like was she a little bit more conscious of what she was doing? Hell, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is actually engaged now. She clearly did not feel the same way for Nick Godajal that he felt for her. Because when all this stuff went down and it was like, you know, how they're gonna try the case and everything like that, like Gypsy Rose Blanchard was straight up just like, peace out Nick, you are on your own, right? And now this dude is serving life in prison, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is engaged and she's only doing 10 years. So he is definitely one of the other victims in this incident. Like, I can't help but ask myself because yeah, Nick did have another charge against him for what was it, like a decent exposure or something like that. But ask yourself, would, do you think, do you think Nick Godajal would have ever killed anybody in his entire lifetime, had he not met Gypsy Rose Blanchard, all right? Because I can reverse those roles and I could imagine Gypsy Rose Blanchard finding somebody else to do that for her. But do you think Nick Godajal would have done this, all right? But I think more so, more so when we talk about the other victims of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, we need to think about Nick Godajal's mother, okay? Like I'm a father and I cannot, I cannot imagine. And it's something I feared, obviously. I used to have a lot of anxiety, you know, when my son was, you know, a baby, my son's mother, who is awesome, by the way. She worked with children with autism for a very long time. And we always had these conversations around vaccines and everything like that. Thankfully, my son did get vaccinated for all the outbreak stuff that's going on. You know, he got vaccinated when he was a baby, like nine years ago or whenever it was. But anyways, this is something that has run through my head. Like what if my son developed autism? I met a lot of the, you know, the kids my ex worked with and everything like that. But like, put yourself in the shoes of Nick Godajal's mom in this situation, right? I don't think enough is being said about what she must be going through. Raising a son to adulthood, right? Knowing that he's lacking this certain mental capacity, he is not mentally and emotionally matured. And from her perspective, her son was completely taken advantage of and used to murder Gypsy Rose Blanchard's mother, right? Now think about that from Nick Godajal's mother's perspective. Like she has probably always been worried about her son, you know, him getting bullied in school, who he's gonna meet, who he's gonna interact with. Wondering, is he ever gonna fall in love? Is he ever gonna start a family? Is he ever going to be fully self-supporting? You know, Nick Godajal did end up getting jobs and things like that. These are things that she always wondered about him. And then he falls in love with Gypsy Rose Blanchard of all people and is convinced to murder Gypsy Rose's mother. Like, as a parent, I could only imagine, I could only imagine what Nick Godajal's mother is feeling about this case. What Nick Godajal's mother is feeling about the sentence that her son got compared to Gypsy Rose Blanchard. And the fact that Gypsy Rose Blanchard is getting out in 10 years, maybe even earlier, if she has good behavior. Like can you put yourself in that mother's shoes for a little bit, seeing this whole situation? Because that's just something that I've been thinking about a lot lately. Seeing people that, you know, are depicting like, not even depicting like, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was definitely a victim. I still don't agree with anybody who says, murder was the only option. That is absolutely insane to me. Like I was actually thinking about making a video comparing like Gypsy Rose Blanchard to Chris Watts. Like, perception is not reality. In Chris Watts' perception, he thought murder was the only way, right? In Gypsy Rose Blanchard's perception, murder was the only way. Perception does not always equal a reality, right? So, getting back to Nick Goderjohn's mom, you know, she has to deal with this. Her son is locked up for the rest of his life because of this, and I'm sure she wonders as well, you know, what would have happened had he never met Gypsy Rose Blanchard? And to end this video, I had somebody ask me in a comment, a little sassy comment, we're like, yeah, but what you gonna do about it? Right? I said this about Gypsy Rose Blanchard? I was like this, I'm just gonna make a video. I like having conversations, introducing different ideas that I don't think are talked about enough, different angles, kind of thought provoking. So, let me know your thoughts on this subject down below. But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.
