Belle Gibson still lying
News.com.au reports:
BELLE Gibson’s interview with Tara Brown took a tense turn tonight, as the hard-hitting reporter confronted the disgraced wellness blogger with fresh evidence suggesting she knew all along that she didn’t have a brain tumour.
Brown hammered the 26-year-old shamed health guru, asking, “Do you accept that you’re a pathological liar?”Gibson replied: “No.”
As she is a pathological liar,the answer really means yes.
Gibson, who, in April, was forced to admit that she lied about having brain cancer and curing it through natural means, was offered no reprieve from Brown, who was clearly fed up with her storytelling.
“You don’t have a good record on telling the truth, do you?” Brown put to her.
Sitting face-to-face with Brown, Gibson teared up as she told how she “lost everything” after her cancer confession came to light.
But Gibson maintained that she didn’t deceive her followers or the public. She argued that she had been deceived. Gibson said she was told by an immunologist and neurologist, ‘Mark Johns’, that she had terminal brain cancer after he diagnosed her using a ‘frequency’ machine in her home several years ago.
“He went to my home and did a series of tests. There was a machine with lights on the front. There are two metal pads, one below the chair and one behind your back, measuring frequencies and then he said to me that I had a stage four brain tumour and that I had four months to live.
Yes neurologists of course do home visits, and bring big machines with flashing lights to detect if you have cancer!
60 Minutes has not been able to find any record of a ‘Mark Johns’.
No??? Surprise.
After the interview, Gibson handed over her medical records to 60 Minutes which showed that she had a brain scan at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne in 2011, two years before she started to market her sob story to the public for profit and adulation.
Gibson said that she had that brain scan because she started to doubt the diagnosis ‘Johns’ had given her but that the scans had been directly sent to ‘Johns’ from the hospital. Johns then showed her a scan with brain cancer.
However, her medical records from the Alfred stated that she a 40-minute consultation with a neurologist there who told her that her brain scans were clear. But the reason she went to the Alfred for scans was not because of her brain cancer but because she believed she might have multiple sclerosis.
Brown put to Gibson that she had a history of claiming dramatic health problems and pointed out to her that she had previously said that in one year, 2009, she had three heart operations, two cardiac arrests, that she had died on the operating table and a stroke.
Good to see the journalist nail her on her lies so well.
She maintained that she is a victim and that she didn’t intentionally deceive anyone.
She really needs psychiatric help.
