Personal Profile About Belle Gibson
Annabelle Natalie Gibson, commonly known as Belle Gibson, is an Australian former wellness influencer and convicted health fraudster.
The Belle Gibson biography states she was born on October 8, 1991, in Launceston, Australia. She gained fame on Instagram (@healing_belle) from 2013, claiming to have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2009 and later multiple other cancers. She promoted holistic wellness and alternative therapies as her “cure” and launched The Whole Pantry app (2013) and a cookbook (2014).
In 2015, investigations by Australian media exposed inconsistencies in her claims and charity donations. In an April 2015 interview, she admitted that she never had cancer and fabricated details, later explaining delusion or misdiagnosis rather than intent to deceive. The app was removed, the cookbook pulled, and her Instagram deactivated.
Since then, she has largely stayed out of public life. Her story resurfaced in 2025 with the Netflix miniseries Apple Cider Vinegar.
