The Netflix series tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of Belle Gibson, a wellness influencer who faked having terminal cancer.

In Apple Cider Vinegar, Hek is the PR crisis manager Belle hires after her fraud is exposed. In real life, Belle Gibson was helped by crisis manager Alex Twomey (now known as Titus O'Reily), although he worked pro bono — and doesn't appear to have anything else in common with the fictional character Hek.

The true story-based Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar is a reminder: healthcare or wellness industry scammers leave very real victims in their wake.

Belle Gibson has deceived countless people with her fabricated medical history. In Netflix's 'Apple Cider Vinegar', the focus is on this true story.
