Belle Gibson (Rosie's Version)
from Just The Gist
Back in 2015, she was the ‘wellness influencer’ who had ‘healed’ her terminal brain cancer by ‘eating clean’ and sticking coffee enemas up her butt. Belle Gibson launched a wellness app that Apple wanted to put on the very first Apple Watch. She published a cookbook called The Whole Pantry, won awards and selflessly donated almost everything she made to charity. Except… lol no she didn’t. She didn’t do any of it. She didn’t have cancer and none of it was true. A Just The Gist ALL-TIME FAVOURITE, there have been so many updates on the Belle Gibson story, including the incredible 2025 Netflix show ‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ that brought renewed worldwide interest in the story.
