This is the story of Belle Gibson, an Australian woman who allegedly faked a cancer diagnosis to scam thousands of dollars from the public.

Born Annabelle Natalie Gibson on 8 October 1991 in Launceston, a riverside city in northern Tasmania, Belle is an Australian convicted scammer and pseudoscience advocate.

In 2013, Belle claimed to have met a man called Mark Jones in 2009, who said he was a neurologist and immunologist. The man did certain tests on her and told her that she had stage 4 brain tumor, and approximately 4 months to live. However, no record of him exists.

The same year, she claims to have had three life-saving heart operations, suffered two cardiac arrests, and even died, not once but twice on the operating table. There are unclear details of Belle’s progression with proper medical care, but somewhere along the way, she decided to ditch conventional medical care in favor of natural remedies to treat her terminal brain cancer. She claimed she was effectively self-managing her multiple cancers through diet, exercise, and alternative therapies.
