The Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar has sparked controversy over its depiction of a figure rival to Belle Gibson, with the family of the individual speaking out against the 'offensive and untrue' portrayal. The show attempts to document Gibson's rise and fall, from a pregnant drifter to a global wellness pioneer, and ultimately, a disgraced scammer. The series has raised questions about the ethics of true crime documentaries and the impact on those involved. With its dramatic storytelling, the show is a must-watch for fans of true crime and wellness culture, but has sparked a heated debate about the accuracy of its portrayal, including the use of alternative medicine and health scams.
