- 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.

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.
100% she needs to be outed on a platform like this!!👏🏻
So disrespectful to those who actually are suffering with cancer.
Absolutely disgusting.. having a family member who passed away from cancer recently this hits hard and shows how people will do anything for clout and money. 👎
I’m a cancer survivor it just doesn’t enter your head someone could be faking 😡
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'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a challenging time in your life. You're incredibly strong ❤
I seen her on 60 minutes few years ago and it was very intriguing to watch hope she realises how evil and vile what she did is
She only had compassion for herself. It's fascinating watching a person continue to lie after they've been found found out. Like the Rachel Dolezal and Prince Andrew interviews. Love watching their expressions and responses.
Oh yea that is a good watch! Tara the interviewer went IN on her 😂
I saw that.
She genuinely tried to convince the viewers that she had done nothing wrong
and she was the victim.
She also cried and apologised,
which contradicts her initial claims of doing no wrong.
I seen that interview as well, she still didn’t admit that she was lying during that interview.
Josie seemed very nervous during this segment. I think that’s the effect of how unbelievable this story is. No one can get their heads around it!
My son was diagnosed with a brain tumour at 2 years old it blows my mind anyone would make this up unbelievable!
Sorry to hear that. Insulting that someone can do this. Bless your son and family ❤
🙏💕
Belle should have been sent to prison for not paying her court fine; there's no reason that woman should be walking the streets free as a fraud.
I feel genuinely heartbroken for anyone thats watching this video having genuinely gone through cancer and came out the other side and fought the disease. What must they be thinking of this person who pretended to have it for money and followers!
I saw this last night and all I felt was rage given that my daughter passed after battling brain tumour cancer for real.
Very sad, there are lots of people in the world fighting cancer and for her is just a game to earn money 😢😢😢
A lot of my family have died from cancer
@@jadenaomixx my father and other family members ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately she is not the only one to do this…there was anyway Australian women who did exactly the same thing for money and was exposed by her friends on A Current Affair TV programme.🇦🇺🇦🇺
One day she could get it for real but nobody will believe her
I've seen a documentary about this before. It's such a crazy story but some people do weird things for fame and fortune.
Sad because my sister in-law is fighting cancer right now so sad people fake that
Scamanda was jailed. Why can't Belle be jailed too?
You only realise how good Phil and Holly were when you see Rylan and Josie present 😮
I had Cancer and my past boss didn’t believe me and insisted on me showing prove from my GP.
Horrendous behaviour 😢
I hope your boss apologised when you showed them proof?! I would be so offended if someone thought I was lying about cancer
@@sjanex No apologies but made me realise what a horrible toxic workplace I worked in for 5 years. Showed how bad mannered lacking empathy she surely was. In the end it was a blessing as I got a new job with a lovely manager and much higher wages.
Bet it was a woman manager
@@paulmitchell3131 it was
@@paulmitchell3131get bent
I admire this woman greatly for confronting belle to her face.
But she gave her idea to prepare for oncoming allegations, she had head scan, and gathered information
Shes even lying about her age?
She says she was told she was a few different ages, ie: birthdates. She seems to be passing the responsibility into someone else.
I watched the documentary today and I'm still in shock from it. This lady is clearly a sociopath not a liar. Very disordered personality type and not aware of the consequences to her actions or anything. I believe that's criminal what she is doing.
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.
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.
Great start to the interview 1:07 😂
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….🇦🇺🇦🇺
Or po
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.
....also if you went to high school with her,
she didn't have any kind of app.
It would have been the '90s.
@@abegarfield7031..If you read my comment…I specifically said…”MY DAUGHTER WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER”…..and it was in the 90s…you can borrow my glasses if that helps 😂🇦🇺🇦🇺
Think Heather Mills
Let’s not forget this show had a women called Amanda Riley doing similar on 22nd September to scam her friends…nor is she the only person to do similar to scam and make money by faking cancer.🇦🇺🇦🇺
I remember this now!!!!
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 watched the ITV X documentary. Very shocking.
She should go to jail for her crime
She must be a very sick person. Mocking is catching and nobody should ever fake such an illness
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.
She can’t even tell the truth about her age
I watched that documentary on 60 minutes Australia about 5 years ago, nothing new about it.
Check out the behaviour panels breakdown of her body language. It's so interesting
I have no hair from alopecia,its a massive step down for my self esteem.
Yet we aren’t blaming the people at the top that are the reason why cancer exists in the first place.
A tell tale sign seems to be that she still had hair at least shave it off commit to the lie😒
Some chemo your hair doesn't actually fall out so it depends
This person is evil 🙏
I love Josie and Rylan together presenting ❤️❤️❤️
Get the doc on again again
Charlotte eades was a British vloggers who died of brain cancer I went to school with Charlotte eades and the pain that girl was in in the end was awful.
This news almost ten years old!
Try actually having cancer. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever endured and still being treated. My body is ravaged, I’m weak and scarred. My hair is shorter now and my meds have side effects. Belle is off her rocker.
Definitely a sociopath, to do what she's done to others you have to have a massive lack of empathy.
She doesn't seem to have enough knowledge in traditional medicines, too, BUT luckily, she chose healthy food to treat cancer 😂, which doesn't do bad healthwise, and gives hope to cancer patients .
It's worse for patients who stopped medical cancer treatment like chemotherapy,
By the way, this is a winning lottery for journalists to make a few bucks.
Not everyone who has have cancer is bed rooted..I have breats cancer staduim 4 and I still can work.
A liar is a liar is a liar
She’s not the first….. lot of people do this
Love the presenters Rylan and Josie, they are the best, better than the other presenters by far!!! They should keep them on!!!
Rylan gets on my nerves
but I don't know why.
He's a decent presenter,
he's pleasant enough
and I can't actually find any fault with him,
so it's really not fair to him
but I don't know what it is.
@@abegarfield7031its the eyebrows
It must be said that the psychiatrist looks quite fit
She should get it the fraud
Old news, ITV late as usual.
Very silly. Be careful what you wish for .................
Karma will find her . Lost family to this unforgivable
Lar lair
Woman, not women
The woman in the white shirt should have a pint of cider oh arh!
She should go to jail for her crime
