Produktbeschreibung
Belle Gibson convinced the world she had healed herself from terminal brain cancer with a healthy diet. She built a global business based upon her claims. There was just one problem: she'd never had cancer. Suddenly, journalists uncovered the truth: this hero of the wellness world, with over 200,000 followers, international book deals, and a bestselling smartphone app, was a fraud. She had lied about having cancer - to her family and friends, to her business partners and publishers, and to the hundreds of thousands of people, including genuine cancer survivors, who were inspired by her Instagram posts. Written by the same multi-award-winning journalists who uncovered the details of Gibson's lies, The Woman Who Fooled the World tracks Gibson's rise to fame and fall from grace. Told through interviews with the people who know her best, it unravels the mystery and motivation behind this deception and follows the public reaction to a scandal that made headlines around the world. The Woman Who Fooled the World explores the lure of alternative cancer treatments, the cottage industry flourishing behind the wellness and 'clean eating' movements, and the power of social media. It documents the devastating impact this con had on Gibson's fans and on people suffering from cancer. Ultimately, it answers not just how, but why, Gibson was able to fool so many.

The story that was shortlisted contributed to Gibson's downfall and prompted a Consumer Affairs Victoria-led prosecution in the Federal Circuit Court, which found her guilty of deceptive and misleading conduct.
