New Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar tells the story of an influencer who lied about having a terminal illness to promote alternative therapies. A decade on, it remains a warning.

Throughout Apple Cider Vinegar, journalists are investigating Belle. One of them, a journalist named Justin (Mark Coles Smith), learns about Belle from his partner Lucy (Tilda Cobham-Hervey), who takes solace in Belle's feed while she’s undergoing breast cancer treatment—and even decides to pause it altogether and try alternative remedies.

In “Apple Cider Vinegar,” a new Netflix series released on Thursday, Kaitlyn Dever plays Belle Gibson, a real Australian woman who proliferated a scam about overcoming terminal brain cancer through healthy eating.
