Gibson

conwoman Australia

Gibson is a controversial figure who gained notoriety for falsely claiming to have been diagnosed with brain cancer, subsequently profiting $420,000 from her cookbook and app, The Whole Pantry. Her deceitful assertions about curing her cancer through alternative therapies and her supposed charitable intentions led to a significant scandal, culminating in a court ruling imposing over half a million dollars in fines for failing to donate to the family of Joshua Schwarz, a boy with an inoperable brain tumor.
