1. Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's Release: From Cellmate to Celebrity


Listen Later

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard was released from prison on 28th December 2023, after serving 8 of her 10 year second-degree murder charge. Gypsy was subject to horrific manipulation and abuse from her mother, who had Munchausen-by-Proxy syndrome, and ultimately played a part in the planning and act of her mother's murder.

We cover the case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn, whilst looking at how the world - well, the social media world in particular - has taken Gypsy's release from prison and created a wave of trends, debates, memes and commentary.

Is it really fair to thrust Gypsy into the limelight after everything she has been through? Or is Gypsy ready for a career in the spotlight?

Thank you for listening to the first episode of Clear History. We really hope you enjoyed it.
