In an era dominated by social media wellness trends, Netflix's upcoming series, Apple Cider Vinegar, dives into the murky waters of health influencer culture.

The article from MSN discusses the controversy surrounding Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness influencer who falsely claimed to have cured her terminal brain cancer through natural remedies, including apple cider vinegar. Gibson rose to fame by sharing her supposed journey of healing through diet and alternative therapies, gaining a significant following and even launching a successful app called "The Whole Pantry." However, in 2015, it was revealed that she had never been diagnosed with cancer. Her deception was exposed after inconsistencies in her story were noted, leading to legal action by Consumer Affairs Victoria for misleading and deceptive conduct. Gibson was fined $410,000, which she has not paid, claiming financial hardship. The article explores how her story, while not directly based on a true event, reflects real-life instances of individuals fabricating health crises for personal gain, highlighting the dangers of misinformation in the wellness industry.
