Titled “Apple Cider Vinegar,” an upcoming Netflix limited drama series is based on real-life events surrounding wellness influencer Belle Gibson, although it’s important to note that the series itself is a work of fiction. This year has already seen the debut of “Scamanda,” a show centering around a woman who falsified her illness to the world, and now comes another tale along those lines, as portrayed in this new series starring Kaitlyn Dever. The show is adapted from a book penned by two journalists, Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, titled “The Woman Who Fooled the World: The True Story of Fake Wellness Guru Belle Gibson.
This piece delves into the early stages of Instagram’s existence. The “Apple Cider Vinegar” series chronicles the journey of two women who battled life-threatening illnesses, focusing on their healing process through health and wellness. Sharing their stories within their online networks provided inspiration (though it seems questionable if the events transpired as depicted). Netflix offers a somewhat factual account – a dramatic retelling – of a wellness empire’s rise and downfall.
Apple Cider Vinegar will be released on Netflix on February 6, 2025 at 9:00 AM CET.
What is the real story behind Apple Cider Vinegar from Netflix?
Belle Gibson is a notable figure in the online world who has gained fame by persuading people that she successfully treated multiple health issues, such as terminal brain cancer, through methods like a balanced diet, physical activity, and alternative healing. Her professional endeavors are based on this claim, which encompass a mobile app focused on wellness and a cookbook titled “The Whole Pantry“.
In March 2015, Australian newspaper The Age found that author Sarah Wilson had actually donated around $7,000 AUD to charity, contrary to her claims of giving away $300,000 AUD from the earnings of her app and book. This revelation sparked speculation in the media that Wilson may have been dishonest about her illness, leading to the removal of her book “The Whole Pantry” from Apple’s app store and the disappearance of posts related to her cancer diagnosis and treatment methods from her social media accounts.
Over a month past, Belle Gibson confessed in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly that her cancer tale was false.
Everything you’ve said is untrue, but I believe it was the right action to take. Most importantly, I hope people can understand that I’m human, with a rich life history. I’ve courageously spoken my truth, and now it’s crucial for me to learn, grow, and heal.
In 2017, The Guardian newspaper stated that the Federal Court of Australia ruled Belle had acted deceptively and misleadingly, resulting in a $410,000 fine. Later in February 2024, A Current Affair reported that this fine was not fully paid. Gibson explained, “I haven’t been able to pay because I lack the necessary funds.
