The Wellness Guru Who Conned Apple & Faked Her Entire Life | Belle Gibson Documentary

Hi all! Who/what should I cover next? Video chapters below: 2:57 Success & Fake Seizures 12:22 Funeral Crasher 20:26 The Belle Has Rung 33:56 Pet Palate Cleanser :) 💛💛

belle having a fake seizure at her son's bday party is the craziest thing i've ever heard....

Her panicking and naming her doctor 'Dr Phil' gave me a proper hearty laugh. She probably got a referral from Dr Pepper. 😂

There's a 60 Minutes Australia interview on her and it's absolutely insane. It's like watching a 5 year old saying they didn't eat a cookie with crumbs all around their mouth.

Unbelievable that nobody at Apple, a multi-trillion dollar company, even thought to check if she'd really had cancer.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious that Apple burned themselves supporting wholistic cancer treatments when that’s literally the thing that killed their founder

No one was suspicious yet she looks extremely healthy & had really high energy levels for someone with terminal cancer.

That last segment of her pretending to be Ethiopian completely floored me 😭😭😭

For someone that had cancer basically all over her body (brain, blood, spleen, liver, etc), she looked remarkably healthy. Odd that no one questioned that.

An ex of mine told me once that she dated someone that would fake seizures for attention. I asked her how she knew they were faked. She said when she tried to pry the eyelids open, her ex would resist opening them and would shut them harder. Usually when people have a seizure they don’t have control of their bodies and their eyes typically rolled to the back of their heads. My ex is a nurse. I thought those stories were so weird and odd. The lengths people go to for attention.

Thank you for covering her, very few people on YT have. I'm from New Zealand and Belle was popular here. I know it's easy to say 'how dumb can people be' about believing her, but when you are told you have terminal cancer, any hope could be a lifeline. My Aunt, who had terminal cancer, started following a lot of her recipes, thinking that the publishers had done their due diligence, and yes, she felt better because she was eating so well, but it did not cure her and it was so had to see another hope she had shattered. She died before Belle was exposed. She is a disgusting scammer and deserved much worse than she got. She preyed on weak, vulnerable people and it worked.

I’m Australian and was running a technology blog for women in 2011-2016. PR’s agencies pushed so much for an article for her app: the whole pantry, I was so proud at the time promoting this well designed app supporting women fighting cancer. When the truth came up, I took the article down and apologized to my readers. I was so ashamed, she conned millions of people, Australia was ashamed. She is a sick woman 😞

I have a sibling that faked cancer. They then went on to abuse their son. I fear for Belle's child, people that lie about these things are a special kind of depraved.

The interview where she pretends to be from Ethiopia is so bizarre. It’s so random to go from pretending to be a cancer survivor to pretending to be part of another country’s diaspora. How did her mind go from one to the other??

The fact she used her son’s birthday and a funeral for someone she barely knew to gain attention or sympathy is not surprising.

FYI: if you witness a seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, call an ambulance (even if the seizing person asks you not to — it's the responsible thing to do).

This is hearthbreaking. I had cancer when I was 20 and I trusted my oncologists at 1000%. I remember having some friends (I don't speak to them anymore) telling me that chemo would kill me and that I should be looking into unconventional treatments like "thinking positive" and taking juices. It's so dangerous, it leads to deaths that could have been avoid. Fuck this. I'm livid.

A 40 minute seizure? This is beyond insane, and in front of her son?!?! 40 mins is extremely long time to do anything in front of an “audience”….

I’m confused, wouldn’t the return of her cancer mean the healthy stuff she was pushing wasn’t working? I don’t think I’m going to go through the trouble of trying your alternative treatment when you tell me your cancer has returned and it’s terminal now.

This story is INSANE. She fakes cancer and a 40 min seizure, and then she pops up in a head scarf calling Ethiopia home 🤣🤣🤣
