But when her fraud is exposed, she suddenly finds herself in a serious problem. So, how does her story end? Here is the answer.
Here’s what happens to Kaitlyn Dever’s Belle Gibson in Apple Cider Vinegar
The conclusion shows Kaitlyn Dever’s Belle Gibson’s fake cancer claims being finally exposed. In the final moments, her interview with 60 Minutes Australia is featured.
The finale episode titled ‘Tape Worm’ fast forwards three years after Gibson’s cancer allegations are made public. To conduct the interview, concerning her social media scam, she demands $75,000. She faces a lot of questions from reporter, Tara Brown. However, she stays firm on her claim that she believed she had cancer. In addition, she also refuses to address any allegations of charity fraud. Managing the essence of the true story, Dever also wore a similar hot pink sweater to the real-life Belle Gibson in the 60-minute interview. According to The Times, she currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.

No, Belle Gibson doesn’t go to jail.
In the final moments, we see Dever’s Belle Gibson breaking the fourth wall to address her fate. A title soon emerges answering the question, “In 2017, the Federal Court of Australia found Belle Gibson guilty of misleading and—” It cuts to Gibson addressing the information, asking the audience to find the answer themselves to determine whether she was jailed or not. In an Aussie accent, she quips “You know what? You can Google it.” Though the series is fictionalized a bit, in real life too, she didn’t spend any time in jail for her offense. While it might sound surprising, the disgraced wellness guru was fined $410,000 for her fake charity promises. (via The Guardian)
