Read the story of the Australian woman Belle Gibson who faked cancer to promote her online "career"

Op India  

Netflix has recently released a web series titled ‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ starring Kaitlyn Dever as Belle Gibson, the woman who faked having cancer to become an Instagram influencer. The film is inspired by real events around how an Australian woman Belle Gibson claimed in 2013 that she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain cancer with only four months to live and how she cured herself using natural therapies and diet. In no time, Gibson’s story became an inspiration, she solidified her position as a wellness expert, landed a book deal and even launched her own wellness application The Whole Pantry. Describing the premise of the six-episode series based on Belle Gibson’s fake story, Netflix said, “Set during the early days of Instagram, Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way.
