Season 4 of Mugshot is back with a story about a health and wellness advocate. Belle Gibson was a beacon of hope for cancer patients, as she fought through the disease with natural, self prescribed treatments for the sake of her child. After launching her app and cookbook to aid others in their journey, Gibson was exposed as a fraud, crushing hopes and trust across the world.
