About this episode

This episode discusses the case of Lucy Wieland, who faked cancer to gain attention and financial support from her partner and community.

In 2018, an Australian woman decided to begin faking a late-stage ovarian cancer diagnosis to get attention. She went as far as shaving her head and losing weight to really sell the whole thing. Worst of all, she got her partner to put all of his savings into her “treatments” and accepted money from her giving community for a GoFundMe.
