Throughout her career as a wellness guru, Gibson insisted that she donated the majority of her earnings made through her app and crowdfunding donations to various charities. However, a whistleblower exposed her as fraud, revealing that she had fabricated her cancer diagnosis and had been pocketing the money instead.

Gibson eventually admitted that she made up the entire story for attention and financial gain. She is currently facing legal action from various parties she deceived.
