How to watch documentaries on Apple Cider Vinegar's Belle Gibson
The disgraced influencer's story has been explored prior to Netflix's latest miniseries.
The story of former Instagram influencer Belle Gibson is currently shocking viewers on Netflix, where it has been dramatised as six-part miniseries Apple Cider Vinegar.
Kaitlyn Dever stars miniseries that dramatises the story of Belle Gibson, an Australian woman who gained an enormous social media following for her wellness tips and associated health journey.
Gibson claimed that she was living with a malignant brain tumour that she was managing primarily through a strict diet and alternative therapies. However, it later emerged that Gibson didn't have cancer.
Some actual cancer sufferers were inspired by her false story, which has led to grave concern that they may have delayed or denied receiving conventional medical treatment in favour of following in Gibson's footsteps.
Apple Cider Vinegar is a compelling take on the shocking true story, but alternatives are available if you're looking for a strictly factual account.
Here's how you can watch the documentaries about Belle Gibson, who inspired Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar.
