While speaking with the Herald Sun in 2015, Gibson’s mother, Natalie Dal-Bello(who later died in 2017 from MS) called her daughter’s story “a lot of rubbish” and noted, “Belle never cared for me, her brother is not autistic and she’s barely done a minute’s housework in her life.” Per IMDb, the documentary TV special Bad Influencer: The Great Insta Con explored Gibson’s rise and fall as a wellness guru and her run-ins with the law.
