Samantha Strauss, while not initially familiar with Belle Gibson, has adapted her story in the Netflix limited series 'Apple Cider Vinegar,' based on the investigative book by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano. Gibson, a wellness influencer, misled followers about her alleged cancer journey, leading to widespread deception. The series explores her narrative alongside two other women—Milla, who adopts wellness influencing amid her cancer diagnosis, and Lucy, a patient seeking hope through Gibson's posts. Strauss emphasizes the balance between factual storytelling and creative fictionalization in adaptations.
The act of writing is not lying, but it is fictionalizing. In all adaptations, you need to have the freedom to create.
The series follows Belle, Milla, who becomes a wellness influencer, and Lucy, a cancer patient, to explore the dynamics of their experiences.
