Lying about cancer

2015-04-23 01:43:16.710199+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Australian "wellness" guru Belle Gibson admits to lying about brain cancer and curing it with diet.

Belle rose to fame in May 2013, when she announced on social media that she had been healing her malignant brain cancer with wholefoods and alternative therapies for four years, despite being given just months to live.
