Disgraced wellness blogger Belle Gibson is facing a consumer investigation but reportedly believes that she won’t be subject to any action after it wraps up.

Ms Gibson told the Herald Sun on Saturday that she hadn’t already faced charges and said ‘No, I don’t think I will’ to a question over whether she believed she would ever face charges.

Consumer Affairs Victoria took her to court in July last year in relation to charity donations.

Her book, The Whole Pantry, was pulled from the shelves by Penguin after it was revealed she had fabricated her illness and subsequent holistic lifestyle.

In an interview with reporter Tara Brown on 60 Minutes in 2015, Ms Gibson was unable to explain her web of lies and would not even confirm whether her age was 23 or 26.

Her app remains for sale on GooglePlay for $2.99 and has been downloaded between 10,000 and 50,000 times, according to the HeraldSun.

Consumer Affairs Victoria has requested more information from cancer charlatan Belle Gibson as its investigation into allegations of fundraising fraud at her wellness empire intensifies.

The consumer watchdog began investigating Ms Gibson in March after it was revealed she faked cancer to market her The Whole Pantry business.

It is also looking into claims that several charities had not received thousands of dollars in promised donations via the sale of her award-winning health and wellness app.

The mother of the disgraced wellness blogger Belle Gibson has declared people are allowed to “tell little porky pies” as she attempted a reconciliation with her daughter and grandson.

Natalie Dal-Bello defended Gibson just two months after giving a magazine interview, saying she was “deeply hurt and incredibly upset” by her daughter’s behaviour.

Her mother has now characterised Gibson’s alleged deception over claims she had cancer and used a healthy diet to cure it as a “white lie”.

“Belle told a white lie, aged 23-and-a-half. So what?” she told the Herald Sun.

“Belle is allowed to tell little porky pies. Who the hell doesn’t tell a lie in their life? Nobody complained about Belle when she was helping people and now they want to put her under the microscope.”

The estranged mother of disgraced online health “guru” Belle Gibson wants people to leave her daughter alone, saying everyone tells “little porky pies”.

Natalie Dal-Bello said it broke her heart to see her daughter being bullied months after The Whole Pantry founder admitted she falsely claimed she had cancer.

“Belle told a white lie, aged 23-and-a-half. So what?” Ms Dal-Bello said.

“Belle is allowed to tell little porky pies. Who the hell doesn’t tell a lie in their life?

“Nobody complained about Belle when she was helping people and now they want to put her under the microscope.

“When you mention the word cancer, then everyone turned like piranhas on her, like they wanted to eat her alive.

“It is time everyone moves on from this and allows Belle to grow and be a mother to her little boy. She should be left alone so she can get her life back on track.”

Natalie Dal-Bello has revealed she felt heartbroken to see her daughter suffer the humiliation during the long-awaited and excruciating 60 Minutes interview with Tara Brown on Channel Nine.

Ms Gibson was unable to answer a series of questions, including her real age, which added to the confusion surrounding her claim that she had cured her terminal brain cancer with whole foods.

‘Belle told a white lie, aged 23-and-a-half. So what?’ Mrs Dal-Bello told the Herald Sun.

‘It is time everyone moves on from this and allows Belle to grow and be a mother to her little boy. She should be left alone so she can get her life back on track.’

The 51-year-old mother and her husband Andrew have made a heartfelt plea in a bid to rekindle their relationship with their daughter after watching her controversial interview.

‘That was like committing suicide — she should never have done that interview. (They have) really shown her up to be an absolute fool,’ Mrs Dal-Bello said.
