What happened to Belle Gibson in the end? Here's what Apple Cider Vinegar leaves out

Belle Gibson was born on October 8, 1991, in Tasmania and falsely claimed to have terminal brain cancer, which she used to promote her wellness empire based on misinformation.
In 2017, the Federal Court of Australia found Belle Gibson guilty of misleading conduct and imposed a penalty of A$410,000, which remains unpaid as of late 2023.
Gibson's claims were documented and challenged by journalists, leading to her conviction and public scrutiny.
The Netflix series 'Apple Cider Vinegar' dramatizes Gibson's story, exploring themes of wellness culture and social media's impact on health narratives.
