After nearly nine years Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been released from prison. The now 32-year-old was convicted for her role in the murder of her mother Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard.

Since her release Gypsy has been going viral and in this chat, Bension Siebert is joined by Sacha Barbour Gatt to break down the life of Gypsy and her sudden rise to fame.
