so the act series on Hulu just finished and actually had an idea for a different
Gypsy Rose Blanchard video and as I started to do some research I sort of
seeing some articles pop up about what the act on Hulu actually got wrong about
the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story and it makes me a little bit curious what is up
everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but
focus on the solution and if they do to my channel I talk about a wide range of
subjects in trying to pull different topics from the YouTube community or
movie and TV shows and try to see what we can learn from them and I've done
quite a few Gypsy Rose Blanchett videos so if you're any of that stuff make sure
you subscribe and bring that notification bell so yeah the act series
finale just happened I believe it was eight episodes by the way if you have
not watched the act on Hulu there will be some spoilers I'm going to be talking
about the season finale so if you haven't watched it go ahead and watch it
come back if you don't really care stick around we're gonna be talking
about some interesting stuff so in the finale Gypsy Rose Blanchard is in prison
and yeah we see a little bit more of her neighbors Mel and Lacey and how they're
coping with finding out that gypsy can walk gypsy killed her mother with Nick
go to John and yeah they're caught off guard because they knew DD and gypsy
very very well and gypsy throughout the entire time she's been in jail is she's
calling Lacey and in an interview with Gypsy Rose Blanchard about how she likes
to act she thought they did very well but she did say that they did not depict
her relationship with Lacey as well as they could have because she sees Lacey
as like this sister figure and they had a way closer relationship than what was
shown in the act right but in the series in this finale
gypsy is calling Lacey and Lacey doesn't want to pick up the phone obviously
Lacey's going through a lot because she doesn't know what's going on with gypsy
even her mother Mel is like yo why don't you talk to her why
don't you go visit her and neljä believes that Lacey can get some kind of
closure from this but what ends up happening is Lacey does not go and now
ends up going and she has a conversation with Gypsy Rose Blanchard and basically
they have this like kind of dramatic conversation gypsy asked Mel if Mel will
be her new mom and I was like nah girl like you're on your own now you lost
your mother or whatever and then you know the episode ends where gypsy goes
back to her prison cell and she kind of imagined to her mother there and she
leans her head on her shoulder and that's that right so when we first got
into the act this is a story that I had never heard
about right and my beautiful girlfriend Tristan she told me about this story
because she's you know been following it and everything like that
and when the series started and when they moved and they met Lacey and now
one of the first things that Tristan brought up was like where these
neighbors been like where they been my cousin the real story there's not much
about these neighbors and there were some of the people closest to Gypsy Rose
Blanchard and Dee Dee so like Tristan was kind of wondering that and then I'm
kind of wondering yeah I'm like oh okay that's weird and it's because the act
left some things out and they did fictionalized some things in this series
well through some new interviews and things like that it turns out that now
Lacey's mother didn't actually exist and that's really fascinating to me and let
this this video I'm kind of just asking why and I would love to hear your
thoughts like why do you think the writers and producers of the act decided
to include Mel in this serious like I'm wondering how that helped the story why
why make that change why I'd make that different because Mel is a completely
fictional character but the other interesting thing is Lacey isn't really
Lacey all right so Lacey is actually a woman
by the name alia who was gypsies neighbor and did you know become friends
with her and was like a sister figure to gipsy but in this finale
obviously Lacey who's really alia didn't want to talk to gypsy didn't want to go
visit her in prison didn't want to talk to none of that stuff why but in real
life they interviewed alia and alia talks about how she has pretty much just
stayed out of it stayed away from the knew stayed away from the you know the
interviews and everything like she says how she looks back at in like even old
interviews that she did when this first came out and makes her very
uncomfortable to see so like she has kind of stayed out of the picture for
this right and I'm wondering if they did that kind of out of respect to a Leah
I'm not really sure but the other interesting thing is alia is still very
much friends with Gypsy Rose Blanchard like they are tight right and alia not
only does she still talk to gypsy on a regular basis but apparently she has
gone to every single court hearing that Gypsy Rose Blanchard has gone through
like she goes out there and she visits and everything like that so that's the
other question I have is why why did they leave that information out why did
they kind of change that part of the story so obviously like I've made videos
about Gypsy Rose Blanchard and I just kind of try to look at different
situations from all different angles like I do empathize with Gypsy and what
she's been through and everything like that but if you've watched my other
video so it does make me a little bit curious as to like the overwhelming like
the overwhelming amount of sympathy I'm just like okay well let's dial it back
just a little bit right but here's my take on it in my opinion I would love to
hear yours as well it makes me wonder if some of these changes made and the act
on Hulu if they were made to kind of I don't know make Gypsy Rose Blanchard
look worse alright by showing how nellis affected by showing how Lacey was
affected and showing Lacey as a character who didn't want to talk to
gypsy anymore and wanted to move on with her life I'm wondering if they you know
if there was some by us in that light this is something
that I'm just always thinking about whatever I'm watching like YouTube
creators whenever I'm watching just any kind of commentary whether it's you know
YouTube commentary social commentary political commentary I'm always sitting
there wondering I'm just like okay the person discussing this is a person
making this or even when I'm reading articles I'm like okay what kind of bias
might this person have and how did it affect what they're saying or what
they're creating right so it makes me curious just about how they wrote this
show how they directed this show you know how they produce the show what they
kept in what they left out and everything like that were they trying to
paid Gypsy Rose Blanchard in a certain way now that is to say like me
personally I don't necessarily disagree with it
right I don't like I just made a video like oh I'm like what Gypsy Rose
Blanchard could have done differently and in that video I discussed like gypsy
couldn't walk like this girl could walk and this this murder was something that
was planned over a long period of time and then hearing about how her
relationship with Alia in real life was much closer it just makes me wondering
even more and then I I put myself in like Alya shoes and how Allah has to
like you know really close friends with gypsy I'm like what I how would I feel
if that was one of my friends right because in the show like there's like
this betrayal right this is betrayal being a lied to and everything like that
and that's like that's just something that can happen to us but the fact that
that resulted in like a murder you know what I mean I'm trying to think of it if
I found out what am i one of my best friends someone I'd been close to for
years was not only lying to me like a major lie for years but then they became
a murderer I just kind of I questioned that I wonder what I would do with that
in that situation alright this is my self would I be empathetic I just I
don't know I don't know but anyways I do have at least one more video planned
about the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case maybe some more in the future if you
guys keep tossing around some ideas Bayless let me know your sauce
