Netflix Series Depicts Belle Gibson Scandal

Netflix is set to release a six-part series titled 'Apple Cider Vinegar,' which tells the story of Belle Gibson, an Australian con artist who falsely claimed to have cured her brain cancer through diet and wellness practices. Gibson, who built a substantial following on social media, was later found to have never been diagnosed with cancer and was convicted in 2017 for misleading conduct, resulting in a $410,000 fine. The series, starring Kaitlyn Dever as Gibson, highlights the culture of wellness influencers and the impact of social media on public perception of health. It is based on the book 'The Woman Who Fooled the World' by journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano. The trailer showcases Gibson's deceptive journey and the consequences faced by those who believed her claims. Scheduled to premiere in 2025, the show raises questions about the ethics of wellness culture and its influence on vulnerable individuals.
