Apple Cider Vinegar exposed wellness guru Belle Gibson‘s lies about having cancer — but where are all the key players now?
The limited series, which premiered in February 2025, stars Kaitlyn Dever as Gibson, who launched a media empire after falsely claiming she was fighting cancer in her liver, blood and kidneys. After releasing her The Whole Pantry mobile app and companion book in 2013, Gibson found herself under fire when fans questioned the inconsistencies in her story.
Gibson confirmed in 2015 that she lied about having cancer. “No. None of it’s true,” she told Australian Women’s Weekly at the time. “I am still jumping between what I think I know and what is reality. I have lived it and I’m not really there yet.”
Creator Samantha Strauss previously spoke about the vision for the show, telling The Hollywood Reporter in November 2024, “What we’ve tried to do in this series is to show that none of these issues are entirely black and white — we wanted it to live in the grey zone.”

She continued: “It’s about showing what it’s like to be a young woman coping with the weightiest issues — life and death — but also staying open to the humor in the hardest moments.”
