Throughout Apple Cider Vinegar, journalists are investigating Belle. One of them, a journalist named Justin (Mark Coles Smith), learns about Belle from his partner Lucy (Tilda Cobham-Hervey), who takes solace in Belle's feed while she’s undergoing breast cancer treatment—and even decides to pause it altogether and try alternative remedies.

Netflix’s new series Apple Cider Vinegar tells the shocking story of a woman named Belle Gibson, who pretends to have cancer and then “cures” it with a healthy lifestyle. But it also draws attention to largely unproven methods of cancer treatment, like black salve.
