Somehow I totally missed this one. It is a series on Netflix with 6 episodes - each running approximately one hour - retitled Apple Cider Vinegar for airing. It started Feb 6th and ended March 13th. Based on the nonfiction book The Woman Who Fooled The World. It is classified Biography, Crime and Drama. It ended with a rating of 7.2 out of 10.

Trivia
A book has been written by the two journalists who uncovered the true case of Belle Gibson; "The Woman Who Fooled The World: the true story of fake wellness guru Belle Gibson".
Kaitlyn Dever took the part of Belle Gibson in order to pay tribute to her mother, who passed away from breast cancer in February 2024.
Although she is portraying an Australian, Kaitlyn Dever is actually an American.
As of 2024, Gibson still owes $400,000 to the victims that were scammed by her. Her home was raided twice and items were seized by police in order to pay them back. She is yet to pay back the money in any form.
