Apple Cider Vinegar follows the rise and fall of Australian wellbeing guru Belle Gibson, which Netflix describes as a” true-ish account based on a lie.”
She gained notoriety in the early 2010s when she claimed to have treated her end brain tumor using a balanced diet and natural cures.
The six-part set delves into Gibson’s rise to fame, her false promises, and the subsequent consequences.
It follows her as her affect grew quickly as she revealed her reported cancer war on Instagram.
Her story caught the attention of many, which led to the creation of the Whole Pantry software, which offered meals and wellness advice. The success of the app allowed her to get a book with the same brand, more confirming her status in the wellness industry.
But ALL WAS NOT WHAT IT SEEMED..

But, Gibson’s account began to conflict, and it was revealed that she had never been diagnosed with cancer.
Moreover, she had failed to contribute proceeds from her application and book sales to donation, as she had formally promised.
In 2017, an Australian federal court fined Gibson$ 410 000 ( R7.5 million ) for misleading consumers.
A Warning Novel
Apple Cider Vinegar stars Kaitlyn Dever ( Booksmart, Ticket to Paradise, The Last of Us ) and was written for screen by Australian screenwriter, Samantha Strauss. She drew her ideas from Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano’s book The Person Who Fooled The World: The Real Story of Fake Wellness Guru Belle Gibson.
Gibson did not make a contribution to the line, and he will not be able to profit from it.
According to Strauss, she described the program as a public service announcement about scams in the healthcare sector.
She argues that it is pertinent given the anti-vaccine attitudes and the prevalence of fake COVID-19 medications at the top of the pandemic.
Strauss hopes the series will lead to conversations about why some people turn to Gibson and other untested alternative therapies as their source of confidence in medical professionals.
Rose GIBSON: Then, WHERE IS IT?
According to Cosmopolitan, Gibson attempted to recreate herself, integrating into Melbourne’s Priming group, an ethnic group formerly from Ethiopia. She had also adopted a new name, asking to be called” Sabontu”.
Dr Tarekegn Chimdi, mind of Melbourne’s African society, assumed she was a team member’s girl. But, after investigators informed him of Gibson’s history, he requested that she leave the area.
Her house has reportedly been searched twice since her 2019 trial to retrieve the money she owes.
She is not already active on any social media platforms.
