The true story behind Netflix’s 'Apple Cider Vinegar': Fake health guru exposed

Netflix has officially released Apple Cider Vinegar, a gripping miniseries inspired by the real-life scandal of Belle Gibson, a disgraced wellness influencer who falsely claimed to have cured her terminal cancer through diet and alternative medicine. In 2009, Australian influencer Belle Gibson claimed she had inoperable brain cancer and had cured it through diet and alternative medicine. She quickly became one of Instagram’s first “super influencers,” gaining a massive following with her wellness advice. By 2013, she launched The Whole Pantry app, followed by a bestselling cookbook in 2014. Her brand was endorsed by Apple, Penguin Books, and major media outlets. She promised to donate proceeds to charity, reinforcing her image as a selfless health guru. However, investigations in 2015 by Australian journalists Beau Donnelly and Nick Toscano revealed that Gibson had never had cancer. Her claims of stroke, multiple heart surgeries, and even “dying” on the operating table were also fabrications. Charities she pledged donations to never received any money. When confronted, she repeatedly changed her story before finally admitting to The Australian Women’s Weekly in June 2015: "None of it is true." In 2017, Gibson was found guilty of misleading the public and fined $410,000 by the Australian Federal Court. She has repeatedly failed to pay the fine, which has now exceeded $500,000 with penalties and interest. Authorities raided her Melbourne home in 2021 in an attempt to recover assets. Despite her disgrace, she has maintained a low profile and, in 2020, claimed to have been “adopted” into Melbourne’s Oromo community, sparking further controversy. Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar, now streaming, dramatizes Gibson’s deception and the dangers of social media-driven wellness trends
