True story of influencer scammer Belle Gibson who faked cancer and inspired Netflix drama Apple Cider Vinegar New Netflix drama Apple Cider Vinegar is based on the true story of influencer scammer Belle Gibson, who faked having inoperable brain cancer.
Influencer scammer Belle Gibson faked having inoperable brain cancer and falsely claimed her healthy lifestyle and eating 'cured' her of the disease.
It all began in 2009 when former social media star Gibson, 33, claimed she had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of 20 and given just months to live.
She maintained that her lifestyle and healthy eating plan had 'cured' her of the disease, adding that she had undergone traditional treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy before abandoning modern medicine to follow a program of clean eating instead.
The upcoming series stars Dopesick's Kaitlyn Dever as the the con-artist, who launches a media empire while claiming that she's been able to cure her illnesses through health and wellness.
