In a shocking twist, the new Netflix sub-genre is taking audiences by storm with scandalous narratives like “Inventing Anna,” “The Tinder Swindler,” and now “Apple Cider Vinegar.” This gripping “true-ish” series follows the story of Belle Gibson, portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever, an Australian influencer who claimed to have cured her terminal brain tumor through natural remedies. The show sheds light on the dark side of the wellness industry and the consequences of misinformation spread by influencers.
Based on the book “The Woman Who Fooled the World,” the series delves into how Belle Gibson amassed a devoted following on social media by fabricating her health conditions and promoting fake treatments. As her empire grew, the truth about her deception was revealed by investigative journalists, leading to her downfall. “Apple Cider Vinegar” provides a thought-provoking commentary on the power of social media and the allure of deception.
Featuring standout performances, particularly by Kaitlyn Dever, the show has garnered critical acclaim with an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences can catch all six episodes of “Apple Cider Vinegar” on Netflix, offering a compelling and binge-worthy viewing experience that explores the lengths people go to for fame and recognition.
