Belle Gibson, "The Whole Pantry," finally admits she lied; never had cancer

[REP]

DISGRACED wellness blogger Belle Gibson has admitted she deceived her followers, friends and family about having cancer and curing her illness with healthy eating and natural therapies.


Last month it was revealed Gibson failed to donate $300,000 from the sales of her app to charity as promised and her friends had started to question the legitimacy of her diagnosis. Earlier this month, Victoria Police said they would not pursue criminal charges against Gibson.

Speaking out about the controversy in an exclusive interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly, Gibson was asked outright if she has, or has ever had cancer.


“No. None of it’s true,” she confessed.

2. I have to admit

How shocked I am that the "all you need is a healthy diet!" people aren't rushing to defend her ...

Okay, not that shocked.

7. No one should defend a liar, no matter who they are. Or what their position on a particular issue is

That is probably why no one is rushing to defend her, not because of what she falsely claimed to support.

She should be prosecuted, imo. AND we should ask her what was her agenda?

4. Shocking. Another proponent of homeopathic remedies for fucking CANCER

is a goddamn liar.

Here's the thing: If you want to take echinacea and zinc to cure a cold instead of using traditional remedies, fine.

But when you are diagnosed with a serious medical condition, it is honest-to-god time to put aside your pride. There are people in this world who know more than you about how to treat your illness. They're called "doctors". Accept that, and don't put your trust in hucksters who tell you that traditional medicine exists solely for profit.
