Though it’s unclear if the real Godejohn ever compared their relationship to the iconic duo’s, or even had a lingering thought about the killer couple, it’s definitely a recurring theme in the show. The character based on Nicholas Godejohn (Gypsy’s boyfriend) truly appears to fancy his relationship with Gypsy as similar to that of Bonnie and Clyde. It’s all inspired by the true story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mom, Dee Dee, and it’s easy to understand why the young couple in the show feels akin to infamous outlaw couple Bonnie & Clyde - but, as the show points out through irony (the seventh episode is even entitled "Bonnie and Clyde”), their stories are not at all similar. That abused daughter escapes with the help of her online boyfriend, who stabs the cruel mother to death. In Hulu's “The Act,” a fictional anthology series based on true crimes, a horrifying story is unspooled: A mother forces her young daughter to appear to be a sickly, mentally disabled child, enduring unnecessary surgeries and consuming unneeded medicine.
