46. The Gamechanger (Belle Gibson)

This story breaks my heart as I suffer every day from pain and a chronic illness that cannot be treated. I find it sad that these people came to Belle for advise, assistance and guidance and she fed them lies, betrayal and dishonesty. I hope that her wrongs can be corrected and that the people who were medically ill and followed her movement will find another healthy and positive outlet. I am so sorry to all who have been hurt by this and hope that in the future we will all find a way to lift each other up instead of tricking each other. Thank you Swindled.

I was interested to see your take on Belle. I am an Aussie so whenever she does something else crazy she's in the news. I still cannot believe she is so unaware of herself or that what she did was so wrong on so many levels. Even though I knew most of the story it was good to hear it from another perspective. Yes she really is that crazy.

I watched the 60 min interview on YouTube after listening to this--the girl is totally nuts!! Straight up lying to the interviewer's face!! It was painful to watch, but Belle deserved every bit of discomfort during that awful show.

I wish people who are frightened of chemotherapy would talk to someone who's been through it. Does it suck? Good lord, yes. But you can do it. I'm a complete weenie, and I made it through 16 rounds.

Such a great job covering this story. I’ve been binging podcasts harder than usual while working from home, and the quality of this piece compared to what I usually listen to was pretty apparent! Thank you for all your hard work in giving such thoughtful coverage.

This is really the worst. I actually have advanced cancer now, been fighting for 5 years. This kind of stuff makes my blood boil. Such a POS. Thanks for covering this story. It’s eye opening what people will do for money and attention.

So glad you did this one, she’s one of my favorite scammers. Well, I guess it’s because I have a weird obsession with people who lie about having illnesses especially for profit...

Amazing right out of the gate! At 15 minutes in I was like "I need to upgrade my Patreon level!" Figuring that out now. Thanks, ACC!

This hits very close to home. Thank you for sharing and for all of your hard work❤️

Great story! Enjoyed this episode a lot!

What a return! Welcome back. Thank you! Big fan of Australian accents, huh? I wondered while listening, do you think you'd ever cover Elizabeth Holmes? Did you already and I somehow missed it? 🖤

I am just so excited to hear your voice again, i was fiending some swindled!!

DUDE I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE EPISODE! Cool as hell to hear my own voice in your podcast ACC. Appreciate what you do man ✊

What’s up with all the Australian stuff? It’s good but I’d never heard of it.

Belle Gibson - I don't know how she sleeps at night I amidst the stench of her own bullshit. Us Aussies are a pretty forgiving bunch, if she'd owned up to it and tried to make amends she would likely be forgiven. Alas she has 0 self awareness and 0 care for anyone but herself. Thanks for covering this ACC and nice to have you back!

So glad you're back & this is a helluva way to do it! Such a great episode. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

He doesn't just walk into Season 4, he announces his presence with authority.

Amazing. So happy this podcast is back for another season.

Yesss the first one of the season did not disappoint

Damn ACC BRAVO!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you!!!

IT RETURNS! And I had no idea who this person was, even though she was apparently most requested. I must be out of touch...or you have a lot of viewers from Australia. Also please tell me that "government shill" comment was just sarcasm and you aren't a filthy anti-vaxxer.

This may be weird, but I love when I have no idea who the subject of an episode is/I'm not familiar with the topic. It makes things so much more suspenseful!

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!

Loved getting the email that this was here!!!!! Love this podcast and I've missed it so much!!!

Making a shitty day so much better. Glad the new season is here!
