[Part 1 or 3] Belle Gibson fooled not only her hundreds of thousands of followers, but the most prestigious book publishers in Australia, the tech giants of silicon valley and even her family and friends into believing she was something she was not: sick. If today, her name is synonymous with the weighty infamy of a notorious scam, there was a time before that, when she was celebrated as an inspiration. On this episode of Extraordinary Stories, we look at the rise of Belle Gibson. From tall tales in school drama classes to international acclaim and influence, how did Annabelle Natalie Gibson become the pinup girl for the wellness movement?

[Part 2 of 3] Belle Gibson was travelling to Queensland for a funeral when she was first contacted by Melbourne newspaper, The Age. Reporters were seeking clarification. They wanted to know exactly how much of the money that Belle was making was going to charity. By 2015, The Whole Pantry had become a hugely successful app, blog and book. Belle had always publicly pledged that a sizeable chunk of the money it was making was being redistributed to charities and various worthy causes, but was that true? In this episode of Extraordinary Stories, we’ll learn how it all came crashing down for the so-called 'Wellness Warrior,' Belle Gibson, and how a woman who once provided hope for some of the nations most vulnerable people, exploited them for cash and clout.

[Part 3 of 3] Belle Gibson spent years lying about her health. From those early skater chatroom claims that she had died on the operating table during heart surgery, to a terminal brain cancer diagnosis, and finally, revelations that cancer had spread through her entire body. She had built a business out of peddling her strategy for treating that cancer; with food. She said it was curing her, and could (for a small fee) cure you, too. But in March 2015, everything came undone, and it wasn't only Belle's followers who wanted answers. The police did too.  With thanks to Tara BrownTom CowieDr Marc FeldmanJames D'ApiceKylie Willey60 Minutes.CREDITS:Host: Emma GillespieWriters: Emma Gillespie and Holly WainwrightProducer: Emma GillespieGuest bookings: Melanie SauerAudio Production: Madeline JoannouExecutive Producer: Holly Wainwright and Elissa Ratliff SOURCES:Confronting Belle Gibson The Woman Who Fooled The World by Beau Donnelly and Nick Toscano Fake Medicine by Brad Mckay The Girl Who Conned Us All by Clair Weaver  https://www.nowtolove.com.au/news/local-news/belle-gibson-speaks-for-the-first-time-since-her-whole-pantry-controversy-13532https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/nov/13/behind-belle-gibsons-cancer-con-everything-about-this-story-is-extremehttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/munchausen-syndrome-why-bloggers-cancer-fraud-belle-gibson-fake-sickness-online-10215185.html GET IN TOUCH:Feedback?

Mamamia subscribers can listen now at www.mamamia.com.au/mplus In this season of Extraordinary Stories, we’re taking a closer look at the women who married into America’s most influential family, the Kennedy’s. From incredible triumph to unspeakable loss, these women weren’t just on the sidelines of history, they were living it. Whilst it may be their husband’s names inked in modern textbooks, some of the most extraordinary stories of their time belong to the women. Jacqueline Bouvier, Ethel Skakel and Carolyn Bessette. In our first episode, we’re starting with the woman whose pink Chanel suit and pillbox hat is imprinted memories around the world. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.Coming Soon. Subscribe to Mamamia: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[Part 1 of 3] Before her life-defining marriage to JFK, Jaqueline Bouvier was an aspiring journalist, and socialite with big career ambitions. She knew marrying an up-and-coming US congressman would come with a series of expectations. But she could never have predicted how crucial she would be in her husband’s political campaigning, presidential election and in the legacy of The Kennedy family in US politics. But, more-so, she couldn’t have imagined the heartache it would bring.

[Part 2 of 3] Ethel Skakel Kennedy has been called stoic and brave as many times as she’s been called cold and cruel. But as we dive deeper into her story, we’ll learn what it really took to love and lose a Kennedy, to be widowed by another Kennedy assassination, and raise eleven children as the single mother of a very private, public family...

[Part 3 of 3] The relationship between Carolyn Bessette and John F Kennedy Jr obsessed New York society and tabloid newspapers for years. The handsome heir to the Kennedy name dated models and movie stars before settling into marriage with Carolyn, and theirs was a union marked by public arguments, private drama, and iconic fashion moments. But once again, the Kennedy family would be plunged into mourning. In this episode, the final in our Kennedy trilogy, we’ll learn how the heir apparent and his socialite bride were stopped in their tracks by an unexplainable thread of misadventure and misfortune. If the assassinations of Jack and Bobby Kennedy begged the question, “are the Kennedys cursed?” What happened to JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy surely answered it.
