Belle Gibson, the infamous Instagram scammer, won over countless people with her seemingly inspiring story. The now-disgraced wellness guru rose to fame after claiming she cured her terminal brain cancer through healthy eating and alternative treatments, having been given just four months to live.
This was followed by a lucrative publication deal worth nearly £220,000 with Penguin Random House for a book of the same name. Belle described the book as detailing her "quest to heal myself naturally... empowering myself to save my own life, through nutrition, patience, determination, and love as well as vitamin and Ayurvedic treatments, craniosacral therapy, and a whole lot of other treatments.
She refused to present any medical records or proof to back up her alarming health claims. Both law enforcement and journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano delved into her suspicious narrative, documenting their findings in The Woman Who Fooled the World. As fans take in the fresh ITV documentary Instagram's Worst Con Artist, we investigate what Belle has been up to nearly 10 years after her façade fell apart....
Merely three months afterward, as reported by 9News, Belle suggested that her pal Clive Rothwell had played Sugar Daddy for her trip, but when probed on how he managed to fund it, she responded: "I don't know." Chiming in on A Current Affair at the time, lymphoma survivors Kylie Willey confessed she'd come close to meeting her maker after Belle's fabricated tale convinced her to ditch modern medicine for natural antitoxins.
The saga continued when her home was once again stormed by the law enforcement officers in May 2021, under the 'seizure and sale' warrant, with a representative telling ABC News Australia: "Ms Gibson owes the Victorian public a substantial debt and Consumer Affairs Victoria will continue to pursue repayment."
