She was a 21-year-old social influencer who gained thousands of followers for her inspirational story. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Belle Gibson was given just four months to live. But against all odds, through following a wellness diet, she cured herself... But this was all a lie. Belle didn’t have cancer at all. It was a scam! As a new ITVX documentary, In Search of Instagram's Worst Con Artist, aims to dig into Belle’s story, we find out from Chanelle McAuliffe, Belle’s former friend, alongside Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das, how she managed to dupe millions.

So disrespectful to those who actually are suffering with cancer.

Brittany Miller a TikTok content creator has also done this.. her followers have recently come across the evidence of this online and anytime someone questions her or asks her to speak out, she blocks the person.. clearly guilty of something. She needs to be cancelled.

I had a "friend" who did this. She told people she had leukemia and had just a few years to live. She was a very manipulative person and would have a whole new group of friends every few years. She would turn one friend against another. I found out years later she had faked other terminal diseases. Apparently she started out hoping to get out of money she owed to friends. If she owed you money, you were on the elimination list and did everything she could to alienate you from other friends. From what I understand she ended up having a serious c0cine problem. A lot of people were hurt by her and her lies. I also had a real friend get diagnosed with lymphatic cancer at the same time. She passed away after years of fighting the disease.

I had cancer and was working in the same company as another woman who lied about having cancer lied to elderly clients to gain sympathy etc they asked me about what she was saying and it was just ridiculous, people who do this just make things harder for those whose lives are genuinely hard. I have come across many who exaggerate and put on the poor me stuff just to gain sympathy and manipulate and control 😢

I was recently diagnosed and treated for stage 3 Follicular Thyroid Cancer. I had surgery three weeks ago to remove my thyroid (my second surgery. The first one was a partial thyroidectomy to remove the tumor and part of my thyroid. I then had to have the rest of my thyroid removed after it was determined that the tumor was malignant). I will also have to undergo radiation therapy at some point. My combined surgeries totalled nearly 10k (and that's with insurance covering 80%). Still a lot to pay out of pocket. And there is no telling how much the radiation therapy is going to cost. So it really does burn me up that people like them fake having cancer in order to scam folks. And it's upsetting because I'm thinking what if I need to set up a GoFundMe account in order to raise money for my medical bills and people are skeptical of me due to scam artists? What if people are thinking "I don't know about giving her money because she could be trying to scam me out of my money in order to fund her lavish lifestyle?" So, yes, I find it infuriating.

@Ontheroadofhealing 3 месяца назад

I've seen bits and pieces of her 60min interview. This woman is a TOTAL NARCISSIST! 0 accountability, 0 empathy, she claims to be the victim. I lost count of how many times she used the word "I", "I", "I". She never admits her wrongdoing. She ended the interview saying: "her actions might've affected others".

"No reason to disbelieve that." Proceeds to explain why she lied. Poor Australia, the societal naivety is on full display here. He basically just admitted he would believe any lie if it appealed to his emotions hard enough. I hope this isn't a common problem and just a media one.

@CatsandJP 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely but her home was raided and she was only fined..no criminal convictions and she still hasn’t put the fines..she is one very sick individual.

@GelatoAndMelatonin 10 месяцев назад

Watching her 60 minutes interview , the way she just kept going with the lies even when cornered, even when it obviously wasn't working and the I interviewer was holding the evidence, I have seen only 2 people do that in my real life. They also will change stories within 1 conversation as it's pointed out why the last thing they said was also a lie. It's so strange to watch, like a robot with a malfunction. But both of them did have antisocial personality disorder, and watching her handle herself exactly like those 2, did make me wonder of she was also some sort of sociopath.

@carrie20074 10 месяцев назад

@christianealshut1123 9 месяцев назад

Isn't it possible that someone else made the whole story up and devised the whole campaign, the whole Whole Pantry concept, and Belle was mainly asked to and agreed to figurehead it (armed with an NDA not to disclose the truth)? I've seen her interview on 60 Minutes Australia and to some extent it seems she has been fad a script of what to say in certain situations when being questioned, and some of her answers sound as if she's only making replies which she thinks are logical in such a situation. How did she get into contact with Apple and the published who published the cookbook. Normally twenty-year-old girls who do a few posts online do not have such contacts. nor would they perhaps by themselves think of seeking those high-level contacts at their own initiative (well, unless both Apple and the publisher approached her first). Someone else must have had these contacts and activated them on her behalf. This would also explain why to some extent she doesn't fit the typical image of a "scammer" or a "pathological liar", nor the clinical picture of Munchhausen's, as the experts on this program state.

I too have witnessed a cancer death. He received his diagnosis, 6 month prognosis and died within a year. Oncologists don't give those life expectancies lightly.

@carinajessurun1125 3 месяца назад

Munchausen syndrome, also known as factitious disorder imposed on self, is a psychological disorder in which a person deliberately produces or exaggerates symptoms of illness in themselves. This behavior is motivated by a desire to assume the role of a sick person and receive attention, sympathy, or care from medical professionals and others. The person may go to great lengths, including harming themselves, to simulate or induce symptoms. This disorder is distinct from malingering, where the person fakes illness for tangible benefits like financial gain or avoiding responsibilities.

She went to Wynnum State High School in Manly Queensland with my daughter…she lied back then she dropped out in year 10 claimed she was homeschooled…she worked at PFD Foods at Lytton as a trainee caterer…she was completely convincing with her lying…she had a wellness app and got money from Penguin Books for a wellness book called The Whole Pantry…she even befriended a young boy with brain cancer…she claimed to help Ethopian community….she was completely manipulative…she has still not paid her fines…but it is rumoured she got about $45,000 for the interview on 60 Minutes…worst bit is her instagram account is still up….it was Media Watch on the ABC TV that broke the story….🇦🇺🇦🇺

A convincing liar? That's a lie. Lying isn't a natural act, so no one is good at it. You act and speak different when lying. Even the most successful con-artists on the planet are not convincing liars, that's why they only target vulnerable and gullible.
