Apple Cider Vinegar true stories explained as fans wonder if Milla Blake is real The new Netflix series, Apple Cider Vinegar, tells the true story of Belle Gibson (played by Kaitlyn Dever), who deceived the world into believing she was battling brain cancer.
Milla Blake's story is a narrative created solely for storytelling purposes, and Milla is not based on a real person.
Following the heartbreaking loss of her mother to bowel cancer, Milla was more terrified than ever of dying and sought comfort from her father.
Using her significant online following, Belle promoted holistic remedies over traditional treatments like chemotherapy.
However, in the series, she encounters a rival social media influencer - Milla Blake (Alycia Debnam-Carey).
