Despite Dee Dee's past claims that Gypsy had the mental capacity of a child, Gypsy seemed fully cognizant of what had happened as she detailed years of abuse . "I trusted her so much," she told Dr. Phil. "She told me that she loved me, that she was trying to protect me. The only person I needed protection from was her." Gypsy also assured viewers that while her mother had taught her "how to be a good, a very good liar," she was "nothing" like Dee Dee now and was actively working to better herself.
