Apple Cider Vinegar - The Watchlist Collective

The Watchlist Collective is diving into Apple Cider Vinegar, the new Netflix series that premiered on February 6th and has already got people talking. Inspired by the true story of Belle Gibson, the show unpacks how she built a massive wellness empire by falsely claiming to have cured her cancer through alternative medicine.

Starring Kaitlyn Dever as Belle and Alycia Debnam-Carey as a character based on fellow wellness figure Jessica Ainscough, the series explores the rise and collapse of Belle’s online community—and the ripple effects of her deception. We’ll be talking about the show’s take on the dark side of the wellness industry, the people caught in its orbit, and why so many turn to influencers when the healthcare system falls short.

From the manipulation to the moments of genuine vulnerability, there’s a lot to unpack. Whether you’re fascinated, furious, or somewhere in between, come share your thoughts and join the conversation.
