Can you even wrap your head around this case?! What possesses someone to lie about having cancer?

To lie about having cancer, is just heinous. It's like Munchosin Syndrome but driven by greed at hard working people's expense. It's sad that nothing amazes me anymore. Thanks, Amy and Chris!! Happy Sunday 😊
I second that emotion.. Not ok
She talked to me a few times on Instagram lol. I'm a survivor of stage 4 mixed celled hodgkins lymphoma with 2 letters which was for bone involvement and bully organ site. Anywho she asked so much about my lymphoma and where it started(spleen), my side effects, and lots of questions about my PET scan and could tell she never had one. I thought she was a scam but fake pictures cause she the pics were pretty not thinking pretty girl scamming cancer. Anyone know if she showed pics of scans?
I am at a loss for words
That someone can go so low & pretend she had cancer
She didn’t make the real cancer patients look good I’m sure that somewhere someone didn’t believe someone when they said they had cancer
Someone said that to my sister when they found out she had stage 4 colon cancer the fact that they didn’t believe her that same person came up to me at her funeral & said well I guess she wasn’t lying I came unglued I hauled this 6 foot 225 pound man outside kicked him in his family jewels & when he went down I punched him in his throat
It took 4 grown men to pull me off of him I firmly believe I did my sister a favor
RIP Vicki

Hi there I did try watching the Bell! Cancer Fake
I myself have just had surgery for Cervical Cancer and treatment apparently I'm now Cancer Free and can say she definitely didn't have cancer at all no Medical History ... Myself I have a lot of paper trail meds and appointments even my own practice still contacts me to make sure I'm ok and I have everything I need meds ect .. That's the reality of having cancer ... I haven't actually cried or had a pity party and have been positive have a brilliant family and friends network! Where were her family and friends to be there for her... I feel for people who actually are and have fought Cancer .. 💜🙏💜
I'm currently fighting two cancers, I don't know why ANYONE would want to fake and scheme from this.
Wishing you well fellow cancer fighter x
U Also, Sending you Strength, Healing and Blessings. ❤️
I just finished 15 double radiation for breast cancer...Cancer is not a joke...but I got a feeling all this may come back to haunt her...
It's not a joke but unfortunately it is a business.
Smoky quartz gemstone, acupuncture, heavy meditation, binaural beats. Apricot and mustard oil.
Sending you Strength, Healing, and Blessings.
Wishing you a good mental health , plenty healing, peace and laughter. Sending you love and strength CocoJanelle, your body is stronger that you can imagine! x Charlie 🙏🏼☀️✨
As a stage4 oral cancer survivor this pisses me off. Shame on her. 😡
Dear Ann, You're in my prayers to God for your healing and love from my heart ❤️
So happy to know that you are a cancer survivor. ❤
As someone who has had cancer as a young woman, this shit INFURIATES me. I worked damn hard to become cancer-free with over a year of chemo, surgeries, and radiation. Not by eating kale. Thank you for talking about this and spreading the word that this claim is false and dangerous. ❤️
Couldn’t have said it better myself! I haven’t had cancer but I’ve lost both my grandads, my step grandad, step Nan, auntie, and two friends to cancer and watched them all suffer going through this horrible thing to see people try and profit from it makes me sick, stay strong and im glad you made it!
Well Said Emily!
Stay healthy and have a good life!
Regards from Sweden
I'm so glad that you are cancer-free. Wishing you a long, happy, healthy life. ❤
@@Terri_MacKay Thank you!! 😊
This girl is a national embarrassment, Belle's life is a series of pathetic attempt for attention. As an Australian I hope she never has a public platform in any way to spread new lies ever again. Great episode 👍
Fellow Aussie here. Ditto. Cringy
I watched that 60 minutes episode on RUclips. Tara Brown had asked her age and she couldn’t just say her age she had to give a little story about how she had 2 birth certificates, so ridiculous she couldn’t just tell her age. How old are you is a direct question.
She was Australia's biggest villain for ages. But the fact she wasn't caught out earlier is baffling
Word. The fact these scams go on so long baffle me to no end.
Looks? Beauty immunity is real. Good-looking people literally get away with murder, at a far greater rate than average looking people.
It’s a sad fact.
I’m always stunned how people like this (Belle Gibson, Elizabeth Holmes etc) can make claims, have multi-billion $$ companies throw money at them and nobody at those companies thinks to look into their claims and check they’re correct!!!!
Go to this companies with an idea and they will be quick to blacklist you, but to give money to a con EASY
And we can now add Amber Heard to that list for hijacking the MeToo movement based on a lie. The lengths these women will go to is extraordinary
It honestly feels like an arbys would conduct more of a background check lol compared to some of these billionaire scammers
Because these companies care about what makes money and what is socially acceptable
What do all these women have in common? They're white women. They are automatically perceived as innocent, trustworthy, and honest.
That interview on 60 Minutes Australia was a train wreck but I couldn't look away. She is so bad at lying. I don't know how she pulled this off! She really does live in a fantasy world.
I know, right? I could not believe how out of reality this woman is.
Watched that interview.. it shook me how committed to the lie she was. It made me hate her so much - how dare she play with pples lives like that and pay no consequences.
Losing my mom to cancer last year and having her looking for anything and everything to heal her and keep her alive just so she could spend more time with her grandkids, this women makes me sick! People like her make me sick! I’m so upset that she took advantage of so many people in need. I’m in that position we’re I had to get my colon removed or would’ve been battling cancer right there with my mom and I just can’t fathom how people think cancer is a joke or a cash cow. People really suffer from this. It’s no fkn joke.
You couldn't have said it better! I am sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry that your mother passed away from cancer. My mom died 5 years ago from melanoma. My 4 kids were her only grandchildren and her only grandson was 1 year old. It tears at my heart daily even now that my son can't remember her. She had hoped for a grandson for over a decade. This woman ,who convinced cancer patients to follow her nonsense, should be so ashamed of her actions that she should struggle to get out of bed and face the world. Yet she has always, in my opinion, showed no remorse or guilt. I have the gene that increases risk of some cancers and I pray that I never have to fight for my life as my mother did. I have also had multiple relatives fight and succumb to cancer. My maternal grandmother had breast cancer. My paternal grandmother had ovarian and was first diagnosed at age 27. My maternal aunt had breast cancer and passed away at 34. I don't know how anyone could harm others just for a profit. I would feel sorry for them if I weren't so disgusted. Can you imagine how different our lives would be if we didn't experience connections and emotional bonds?
I am fighting cancer right now. I have lymphoma and leukemia. What this crazy woman has done is literally a slap in the face to those of us who really are sick. You NEVER joke or try to pull off a scam with anything about cancer . She should pay dearly for her crap
🤦🤦🤡 Now imagine how many people lost their life or accelerated their illness by following her false advice over that of an actual medical professional. People like this, I'll never understand.
I cackled at that 60 Mins interview. You can actually see Tara wanting to slug her. So unusual for the pro and it was monumental.
That's the problem with liars...it's hard to remember your lies and you often contradict yourself or mess up your story.
Imagine dating someone this manipulative, just wow. Or having them as a family member.
I have one of those in the family she will lie about any and everything it's almost comical
She chose to traumatize her son on his birthday where there is witnesses ..how sick are you that you need to do that and not give a shit about your kid
Lmao
As a real cancer survivor, nurse, and human being capable of feelings, I must say, she is disgusting. The damage done by her claims must still reverberate. It’s incredibly offensive and cruel.
Lisa she hit me up on instagram when I posted my PET and all my symptoms . I'm a survivor also. Survivors guilt sucks but got to see my little girl who was 8 turn 19 so that makes it worth it. Thanks for nursing!
@@davidfrager8234 You should not feel guilty about surviving! You are a warrior! It’s wonderful you got to see your daughter grow up 😊
My mother died of cancer. For nine months she withered away. People like her make me sick bcuz that's an evil by itself. The laws need to get a little more harsher on these POS. It hurts me just hearing it, I can't imagine the real victims heartache. A child with brain cancer, she even "played" I'm sick to my stomach fr.
Absolutely one of the cruelest stories I've heard. I love your "slick comments" 😉🔥🔥
Thank you Amy for covering/posting this heartless cons story. I truly appreciate it GF 🥂👏👍🏻😍🥰😉❤
This is so unbelievable. Seeing my mom & others in that condition is heartbreaking. To hear her using "a cancer" diagnosis for money isn't just jaw dropping it's beyond appalling.🤦🏻♀️💔🤬
God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊🌼🌼💞💞
She's what they used to call snake oil. Reminds me of 'ministers' who act like they can heal someone at deaths door. Good vid guys. Addicted to ya'all
In the health and fitness community "snake oil" is still used to refer to anything being sold that is, at best, ineffective but often can be harmful. "woo" is used to refer to ideas with no scientific backing. Dr. Oz is a purveyor of both snake oil and woo.

As an Australian who lives near her, I have absolutely nothing good to say about Belle. Cancer is horrible, but ghouls like her are worse. She now just lives with her rich boyfriend living the good life and hasn't paid her fine.
I told some wild lies when I was a teen on the internet. But I never once thought about lying about cancer or anything near death. She wanted the attention. She wanted attention that bad.
This was so infuriating! I downloaded her App at the time, hoping that the healthy eating plan would maybe help with my Autoimmune conditions. I feel so lucky that I was just wanting to eat healthier and calm down my symptoms. Those poor people with cancer, who stopped medical treatment to follow her regime, it's so sad. All of those people who had the tiniest bit of hope that she might help them, it's just horrible 😔
I lost my best friend to cancer. So seeing this makes my blood boil. So sad yet so upsetting. Thanks for sharing this. I'll continue to be skeptical.
I wondered when someone would talk about this story. It’s so insane.. good job covering it!!
Thank you!
Many people have covered this story!
@@Reodor_Felgen not the peeps that I watch.
Thanks Amy. Narcissist like her were eventually stress that word found out. The damage she inflicted is hard to quantify most actual suffers are too embarrassed to fess up how they were duped.
I can't believe she thought she could get away with this.
Yeah she did for a while, but eventually it all catches up with you! She is a horrible liar!
This pisses me off because my stepdad had cancer, and died close to a year after the diagnosis. She is an embarrassment!
sorry about ur loss. my dad passed away from cancer just over a yr ago as well, sucks what patients go through!
@@daveg-Vancouver_Island I'm sorry for your loss. It sickens me seeing all these people fake disease's along with mental disorders, Just for 15 min of fame.
I remember seeing her 60 Minutes Australia interview and thinking that she was just so full of BS. None of her answers made any freaking sense and it was just excuse after excuse.
I can't imagine the damage she caused because people with cancer took her seriously.
Hi Amy & Chris! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Victoria, hope you are doing well too! Thanks for watching.😀
I’m sure many were devastated, and the people who bought her merchandise or worse donated in support to those with cancer charities
Pathological liars never change, unless its a new lie, then they change to hid the new lie
Im confused. 🙂
Wonderful job Amy you and Chris have a great channel.
We appreciate you and thank you very much!😊
She cast a blight for actual persons afflicted with cancers , I had to show my documents to my employer to dispel the Gibson effect .
Please do a video on the Huntington prom night murders tomorrow is the anniversary. Still unsolved 😢
Ok we will look at it. Thank you.
She sounds absolutely crazy! There are definitely alternative treatments to those traditionally offered but she is a slap in the face to both sides and not helping in any way. My dad had an agressive brain tumour and there really isn't much you can do to help it.
As someone who survived cancer stories like this make me so up set I fought cancer for 3 years and got 0 financial assistance in time were go fund mes and social media was just starting off I walked away with huge medical debt how could someone lie about having cancer do one round of chemo or radiation
Crazy story! Unbelievable the things people will do to scam these days!
Love this channel. Definitely one of my top favs!
WOW! Thanks Amy now could you please send me directions on how to untie my brain? If I'm this screwed up just hearing it, she must be crazy living it.
😂😂😂
Never heard of this one either! ❤❤👍
Excellent video as always! Please do more videos about pseudoscience con artists and fake health gurus… so many people put their faith and last hope into these charlatans, it’s so important to remind the public of these types of predators. Thank you again for all the great videos!
Thanks for this one Amy, I haven’t heard of this one. With the amount of people that suffer from cancer it’s an insult to them all. Thanks again keep them coming Amy & Chris 👍👊🇬🇧🇺🇸
Absolutley terrible! Thank you for watching
Amber Heard says just “pledging” is sufficient 👍😄✌️…
“…The Belle tolls for thee…”…
Hi Amy and Chris! Ya know, I don’t get the nerve of some people. I would never have the nerve to do what she did!! Not in a hundred years!! That’s just crazy. It’s sad to think she needed attention so bad she had to lie about her health! At least it’s out in the open now.
❤️💜💚
This is disgusting. What a monster.
Wait, wait!!! I thought if it was on the internet it had to be true!!
Oh no....what was I thinking!! 😱😱😱😱😱
The Behavior Panel channel does an analysis of her 60 Minutes Australia interview. Worth the watch.
Now, what if she actually got cancer? Even the oncologist wouldn't believe it!
I’m a Health, Wellness & Safety Chair for UPS Worldport in Louisville, Ky, and we were sent Belle’s story. A lot of what I do is just giving employees info on he benefits of healthy/positive life choices, so when I read the article I was automatically suspicious & called BS. I emailed my head and said “Sorry idw to be negative but I grantee this woman is a fraud”. In 11 years I’ve seen many employees with mental illness, terminal illnesses and faced with serious & difficult life choices and I could never show them an article claiming eating organic saved a woman from her death bed. It is an insult to even suggest that anything of the such is possible, and I’m so sick of the health charlatans parading around like organic vegan is the only way to live ;literally. They are sickening…
I'm so glad I found this channel. Perfect short updates.
Back again. Great video again guys!
I love the work you and Chris do!
Oh wwooww!!! My MIL has lung cancer and has been going through chemo and it's horrible!!! I hope this woman gets a long prison sentence, cause that's so messed up!!!! Hey Chris and Amy, I hope y'all are having a great weekend so far!!! 😊🥰
Great documentary!
I hope you two are doing good. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much Jessica! Have a great night!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps yw, ty so much.
When I was 20 I met a girl at the beach, she said she was 21 but didn’t have her I.d so couldn’t buy alcohol. Said she was in South Carolina for her last beach trip, she only had three months to live due to a brain tumor. Long story short, none of that was true. She was 17, her brain tumor magically went away and she’s doing fine today. Or I imagine she is, idk I blocked her as soon as she told me she was 17, my friends sister kept up with her and that’s how I know the cancer just “went away”. That was 10 years ago
You left out the part where you bought her alcohol; or didn’t.
I’ve watched that interview with Tara Brown twice. Belle is fascinating! Watching her backpedal is wild.
Top job Amy. Love love love your stories and especially the delivery. ❤ love to you and Chris.
Appreciate your comment! Thank you for watching
I know it's not funny, but the interview she did with Tara had me laughing one minute and steaming mad the next. When she asked her how old she was and she wasn't even capable of being straight up with something as simple as that. But what she did to those families genuinely struggling with cancer is unforgivable.
How could somebody be so horrible as to con people who are hopeful for a cure for their cancer?? My sister is a two times survivor of breast cancer, and everything she went through would make her want to do some thing organic if by chance it came back. She is the worst kind of liar, someone who does not care at all who her lies hurt. Great recap! Take care and blessings!
I hope karma reaches her I’ve lost so many family members and friends to cancer and am high risk myself of getting it, to see people profit from it makes me sick tbh
Love you guys
Simply appalled by this...
You guy’s rock!
That 60 minutes interview was so cringe inducing. Great video guys!
Wow... I can't find the words...
"Trust science"
For someone like me who been suffering for more then 25 years from this illness I heard it all believe me,people say eat this or drink that and it we'll help and for the first few years I did listen but then I was I need to trust my heart and when it say don't listen to them i listen to my heart ,I'm living everyday and enjoy it cause u never know what tomorrow will bring.
The entire length of this video I couldn’t help but think of all the similarities that she and Amber Heard have in common.
I'm glad to see you, Amy!! I missed you (but like, not in a creepy way. I don't want to be the subject of a video.)
Despicable excuse of a human being... 😡
I remember seeing the 60 Minutes Australia interview with her.
It sounds as if she started to believe her own offensive lies.
Today is my Dad's Birthday. Cancer claimed His life.
I miss Him. 💜
Hi Amy! I was binging on your videos a couple days ago and saw the one about Kevin Coe. I had no idea you were from Spokane! That’s where I am! Kevin was the Boogeyman when we were kids. So glad they caught that jerk. Love to you guys from back home! ❤️👋🏼 **I believe you guys also did a video about finding the killer of Candy Rodgers after sixty years. Turns out the cousin of Candy was the woman I grew up next door to. (my “Aunt Judy”) When I was growing up in my childhood home, I was always told that the man who lived in our house before us had killed himself and no one ever knew why. Turns out…he was the very man that killed poor little Candy. So my Aunt Judy was unknowingly living next door to her own cousin’s killer. I think she was kidnapped and killed in ‘59 and they lived next to each other in the early 70s. Unfortunately, Aunt Judy passed away a few years back and never got to hear the news. Her hubby (my Uncle Dan) still lives there. It truly is such a small world.
What happened to our society where we fall for someones lies just because they look good on social media or whatever. When did people stop using their judgment and common sense? I don't mean the regular people, I mean the book editors, those who invest in someone, etc.
Amy is absolutely amazing!!
My dad died from brain cancer in 2016, 6 months after his diagnosis. The type he had was a death sentence. It was horrible to see. Anyone that lies about cancer to make money for themselves are absolutely disgusting.
This woman's story makes absolutely no sense to me ... I was having neurological issues and was told it wasn't a brain tumor but it was multiple sclerosis and still went for a second opinion ... I don't understand how she could supposedly receive such a devastating diagnosis and prognosis from a phantom mad scientist and not look into it further ... I will say , though that following a diet close to the one she suggested is better for your overall health and does help with the effects of autoimmune disorders , but it's not like we didn't know eating better was good for us ever since doctors stopped recommending that you meet a daily bacon intake ...
Everything is now marketing from developing film stars to con artists. I find someone to spend money on me to get more money for them and any one can make it regardless of looks, abilities or anything else.
It is easy to criticise the big companies who didn't check her story but it's very difficult with medical claims as the records are confidential.However if you have cancer the hospital will send you a letter saying what they have diagnosed and what they plan on doing about it.
This is sort of off topic but still relevant imo. A body language expert RUclipsr has said it's a red flag if an interview subject, or someone giving a presentation is wearing a turtle neck sweater as this bird does with Tara Brown. It hides if they are swallowing or gulping for air at awkward questioning, or if their tendons and vocal cords constrict. Ever since I heard that, as soon as I see a possible fraudster being interviewed wearing a turtle neck sweater it makes me even more cynical than ever.
I am a breast cancer survivor and it infuriates me that someone could pretend to have such a terrible disease. I lost my grandma and my mom to cancer and in the last month I lost my cousin and a friend from work. Chemotherapy, radiation and five years of tamoxifin have had long term side effects. I am reminded every day how blessed I am to be a survivor. I hope that God will have mercy on her.
People like this make me sick. Cause there are people who need medical help for real. Like me for example I have had epilepsy since I was 11months old and I'm 41 years old now. I have the grandmal seizures. But I don't go around trying to get money from companies or to take advantage of people I was raised better than that. Thanks for the recap.
WOW they should do something. That's horrible there are people who are going through cancer. Kinda sounds like someone else with a elaborate scam against a actor.
When you're good, you're good I guess.
Were any MRI'S done?
Cruel.
*KARMA*
Ohhh, *Belle* Gibson. That changes things a bit.
😂😂 glad it wasn't only me
😉😆
I'm Australian and have heard of this woman from my home town. Luckily I've never had cancer but I can understand desperate sufferers will try anything for a cure. Which makes her crimes even more despicable. The authorities should have locked her up. Apparently her residence, cars etc are in her partners name so can't be touched. Being part of our Ethiopian community, is this woman for real?
All that said, drastically changing your diet can do amazing things.
10ish years ago, I was chronically ill. Terrible Fatigue from stage 3-4 adrenal failure, insomnia, depression, itchy skin, so bad that I’d bruise/ bleed from scratching so hard. Bad joint pain, headaches, brain fog, etc., etc., etc.!
I was trying to “go vegan” bc I thought it was the healthiest way of eating. But, I got sicker and sicker, and could barely stay above 95 pounds at five feet six inches tall!
LSS, I changed to a mostly carnivore diet, and within 3 days of eating all beef, my life had significantly changed for the MUCH better!
The vast majority of my health issues are completely gone. All from a diet change.
It’s not for everyone; it’s not easy to eat 90% meat everyday, but oh so worth a try!
I’ll never go back to a “normal diet.”
❤️🍀
I can't stand people like her, they are pure evil. Taking advantage of legitimately ill people for her own greed is sickening to me. I'm surprised it did take them so long to find out about her lies though.
..just sitting on the floor playing with blocks lol
Never heard of her.
Why the pic of Kylie Minogue at 11.54 ?
No not at all she not have black hair.
My best friend ❤ has stage 4 cancer lungs lymphnotes and brain faking cancer and cashing in on the pain and suffering of others is cruel and sick
good video
Yassss! The pleasure when karma is served is sublime
I hate people that fake illnesses like this and illnesses in general
I am curious to know if any REAL VICTIMS THAT HAD CANCER AND FOLLOWED HER ADVICE, WHAT HAPPENED TO ANY OF THEM? It's very dangerous to other peoples lives if they followed her advice and then got even sicker and possibly died. Very, very sad!! 😥😥😥😥😥
This may not be a murder crime but o love how you covered this. I never heard of this woman and her scams! I can’t believe she Conned so many people and got away with it. Makes me think of Gone girl but in this case this is more like Con girl.
I actually had a renowned neurologist show me someone else's results to try to get me to have an operation on my back AND making me believe I was a lot more disabled than I was...
Really?! 😯But why would they do that though?
Wow you can't trust anyone
