The enigmatic case piqued the interest of 'Apple Cider Vinegar' director Samantha Strauss, who commented on Belle's situation saying, "in reality, Belle hasn't paid her fine, you know, never went to jail".
Back in 2017, Belle Gibson landed herself in hot water and, according to a letter subsequently disclosed by the Federal Court, she was buried under a debt of $170,000, with only $5,000 to her name.
Apple Cider Vinegar, now streaming on Netflix, recounts the real-life tale of Australian fraudster Belle Gibson, portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever.
The brand provided recipes and advice for terminally ill individuals, with Belle leveraging her extensive social media following to advocate alternative treatments over legitimate therapies.
In a 2015 interview, Belle confessed to concocting the entire story, leading to legal repercussions for allegedly violating Australian consumer law.
