In 2015, Australian con woman Belle Gibson was living the dream. Her app The Whole Pantry was hugely popular and she was about to launch a book of the same name.

With hundreds of thousands of followers online, Belle had become a celebrated wellness influencer who'd overcome terminal cancer and had cured herself with healthy eating and holistic therapies. But it was all a lie.

The truth came to light when her friend, Chanelle McAuliffe, noticed gaps in Belle's story. The moment she exposed her deception is now the focus of the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar.

Today, Chanelle tells us what the show got right and wrong, the challenges she faced as a whistleblower, and how she feels about Belle and her crimes now, a decade on.

A series of cryptic emails. A terrifying discovery. A betrayal 10 years in the making.

When high school teacher Hannah Grundy received a message about explicit images of her circulating online, she dismissed it as a scam. But as the warnings persisted, she uncovered a nightmare far worse than she could have imagined—a deepfake pornographic site dedicated to her, filled with violent images and fantasies, orchestrated by someone she trusted completely.What you’ll hear:

• The shocking moment Hannah realised she was being targeted
• How she and her partner uncovered the person behind the attacks
• The frustrating legal battle to bring the perpetrator to justice
• Why she’s speaking out—and what needs to change

Andy Lee is one of the most successful and loved people in the Australian entertainment industry and he puts some of his biggest successes down to luck, which isn’t true. 

In this chat with Kate Langbroek, Andy opens up about how important it is to tell your friends how you feel, how he and Hamish haven’t always vibed with certain projects, the nosy people on Instagram after he posts photos of his girlfriend and how he thinks failure is when you aren’t happy, not when you’re not making money.

In this conversation from the archives we go back to 2003, when a two-year-old girl captured the hearts of Australians after she was involved in an accident at her NSW childcare centre. Her name was Sophie Delezio. A vehicle crashed into the centre and caught alight, trapping Sophie and burning 85% of her body. After that accident, she lost both her legs below the knee, her right hand and ear.

Three years later, in May 2006, Sophie was hit by a car as her nanny pushed her wheelchair across the road. The car threw her 18 metres from her wheelchair and resulted in a broken jaw, broken ribs, fractured collarbone and a punctured lung as well as bleeding on her brain and a heart attack. 

But after all of that, she lived. Oh boy did she live.

And this is her story.

There’s something we need to talk about more.

In this episode of No Filter from the archives Naomi Watts, Alison Brahe-Daddo & Dr Ginni Mansberg sat down with Mia Freedman to talk about the Bermuda Triangle of women’s health. The funny and the not so pleasurable, hot mess stuff.

They get real about the rollercoaster that is menopause and peri-menopause. The chaos, brain fog, sex drive and silver linings.

Prepare for a huge flow of beautiful stories and some new found IDGAF attitudes.

You are getting this as a bonus episode, on top of our usual weekly episodes.

The world knows Naomi Watts as one of the most iconic and accomplished actors of her generation - from The Ring to Mulholland Drive, King Kong to The Impossible - and so much more.

But Naomi Watts is starring in a new role now…the role of author and advocate and innovator for menopausal women. She’s written an incredible new book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause. But before she could write it - she had to wrestle with the strong sense of shame she carried around her own experiences - which she shares with Mia Freedman in this special conversation.

You can find Naomi’s book, Dare I Say It, here.

You can follow Naomi on Instagram, here.
