Aleah Woodmansee is the only child of a single mom, just like her friend and former next-door neighbor, Gypsy Rose Blanchard. That’s where any comparisons end, though. Woodmansee was 23 when Gypsy Rose murdered her mom, Dee Dee Blanchard, and then fled with her boyfriend and murder partner-in-crime, Nick Godejohn. As her closest confidante, Woodmansee had been aware of Gypsy Rose’s whirlwind online romance with Godejohn. However, she told Buzzfeed that Dee Dee had warned her to stay away from her daughter, and she had lost touch with her former BFF before the horrific stabbing occurred.
Woodmansee told the cops about Godejohn, whom Gypsy Rose had been secretly messaging after meeting on Facebook, and they were able to trace the lovestruck murderers. It was only after Gypsy Rose was apprehended that Woodmansee discovered her neighbor’s myriad of medical ailments were all a fraud. “I just cried,” she admitted.
As if it wasn’t bad enough to discover your best friend violently stabbed their mom to death after being forced to live a lie for their entire existence, Woodmansee’s life was turned upside down when she became a public figure through no desire of her own. In 2019, she found herself portrayed on the small screen after Hulu released “The Act,” a limited series based on Gypsy Rose’s life story. In the show, Woodmansee’s character, “Lacey,” is depicted by AnnaSophia Robb. It’s safe to say Woodmansee is not a fan.
