Belle Gibson, a wellness influencer, claimed in the early 2010s that she had terminal brain cancer, boosting her popularity and financial success through a nutrition app and cookbook. However, in 2015, revelations surfaced that she had fabricated her cancer story and failed to fulfill charitable donation promises. This exposed her deception, leading to her book's cancellation and the removal of her app from promotions. Her life story has inspired the Netflix series 'Apple Cider Vinegar,' which presents a fictionalized account of her rise and fall.
Gibson's downfall began with reports she had lied about charitable donations and faced backlash for not fulfilling her pledges to multiple organizations.
Her wellness empire flourished on Instagram, where she claimed to beat brain cancer with natural treatments, leading to significant financial success.
