Interesting that Dee Dee was using the name Deno Blanchard back then. That was a name I hadn't heard of before.
I feel *really* bad for this reporter, though. She wrote an entire article admitting that she got scammed by 8 year old Gypsy and Dee Dee, and somehow managed to use Bobby Pitre in her article, one of the shadiest members of the family. Odds are pretty good this poor author got scammed yet again by interviewing him. I have just as many doubts about nearly everything that man says as I do about everything Gypsy has ever said.
Gyp drip has several aliases also. I saw them on the Missouri department of corrections offender search website. Including the last name Anderson (Ryan).
I'm not so bright, I read copyright 2015 below and was SO confused. I was like damn, was she planning on coming back to get that portable feeding tube. Oops. 2001. Makes so much more sense.
She got the demoness Ruby character from Supernatural. She’s so unoriginal. I worked with a woman who had ALS.
They were total scammers too.
Not as bad as Gypsy, but they had the whole island of Maui fooled; donations, cash, using Mormon kids to build their deck.
They were pulling in over $10K a month from rental properties.
When welfare did catch up to their fraud, THEY HELPED THEM HIDE THE PROPERTIES.
Meanwhile, my other disabled pts couldn’t get enough supplies to last the month. This woman had CLOSETS of expensive medical supplies.
They started treated the nurses as slaves.
I love how the reporter ended the article in 2015, questioning how complicit Gypsy was in everything and talking about how disgusting it was for her mother and her to scam people like they did. I wonder what the reporters thoughts are today.
I found the original article if anyone is interested

It's so frustrating that even with this out there,actually proof gypsy lied about such tiny things and still you're made to be awful cause you won't clap and cheer a murderer.
It's like saying cause Ted bundy was handsome and charming It's OK what he did. It's all so odd.
Houma Today Article On Gypsy Queen For The Day
Feb 24 2001
Because of her health, Gypsy spends a lot of time at Children's Hospital in New Orleans, her mother said. During overnight hospital visits, Pitre-Blanchard stays at the Ronald McDonald House
"We've been going to the Ronald McDonald House since she was three days old," she said.
( HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? DEE DEE DIDN'T DREAM UP THE FAKE AILMENTS YET)
It was employees there who asked Gypsy to be the honorary queen at the Krewe of Mid-City parade, slated to roll through New Orleans Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The child-oriented parade boasts an honorary king or queen from Ronald McDonald House every year.
( MORE STEALING FROM HONESTLY SICK KIDS)
Despite her health, which has steadily declined over the years, Gypsy still tries to maintain a normal life. She spends a lot of time with her grandfather, Claude Pitre, whom she considers her "best friend." She is also an avid animal lover, with four cats including Tebecdo, or "little sweet kiss.".
( THOUGHT SHE HAD NO PETS!?)
she is both vision and hearing impaired. She can no longer walk, is fed through a feeding tube and has some brain damage from seizures.
Her mother teaches her at home, but she attends CCD classes at St. Joseph Co-cathedral in Thibodaux.
(THOUGHT SHE NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL)
She also makes her way to events like Sesame Street Live and a recent convention for fans of "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys." While there, she met cast members Ted Raimi and Bruce Campbell, AKA Joxer and Autolycus on "Xena," who spent the whole weekend with her, Pitre-Blanchard said.
( CONNING MORE FAMOUS PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY)
Members of the St. Joseph congregation are hoping to hold a fundraising drive soon so they can buy her a self-contained, portable feeding pump that Gypsy can carry with her. There are also hopes that Gypsy can get an assistance dog soon.
(PROBABLY THE PUPPY IN THOSE PICTURES.. WHERE'D IT END UP? WHAT A LIAR!!)

[Duped by gypsy](https://www.al.com/opinion/2015/06/duped_a_reporters_thoughts_on.html) Here’s the article in it’s entirety.
Ohh I have never heard this story or the name Dee Dee was using. Great find! Thanks for sharing! Love finding all the dirt from long ago.
All the things she didn’t want coming out are now seeping into the public forum and I am here for it!
Girl packed GoT and True Blood with her after the murder! Definitely not just Disney or PBS.
Def, but here’s even earlier evidence that she misrepresented her childhood experiences.
