Belle Gibson
Belle Gibson is an Australian woman who became known as an online influencer and the creator of the
The Whole Pantry cookbook and mobile app.
She initially became famous after claiming she had a terminal brain cancer diagnosis, which she healed with natural therapies, exercise, and diet. This attracted followers to her Instagram account, and it wasn't long before her
The Whole Pantry app became very popular.
At some point, she claimed she had been donating massive sums to charities, even as consumer watchdogs and journalists showed that her claims were unproven or untrue.
In 2015, Belle Gibson admitted to making up her cancer diagnosis. She was then sued and found by the Federal Court of Australia to have engaged in deceptive and misleading conduct. Gibson was required to pay a fine of AUD 410,000, but did not pay the full amount.
Following the scandal, she had her book deal cancelled and
The Whole Pantry app removed from Google Play and the App Store. Her story has since been depicted in a Netflix show titled
Apple Cider Vinegar. The show highlights her deception as she misled many with her unfounded claims.
In her 2014 book
The Whole Pantry, she shares a range of healthy recipes that use natural ingredients without dairy, refined sugar, or gluten.
It comes with more than 80 meals to encourage better food lifestyles. She shows how plant-based diets can still be affordable and tasty as she introduces versions of favourite dishes such as sweet cookies, pad thai, and enchiladas, which she claims are easier to make than regular versions.
Belle also explains how she leaned on better nutrition when she felt that normal medicine was not effective enough when she faced serious illness. Her cookbook and app encouraged people to change how they live and eat.
