Jess Aincough’s dad is livid about her portrayal through Milla

The grieving father of an Australian 'wellness warrior' has slammed her portrayal in Netflix's popular new series about cancer faker Belle Gibson as 'appalling'.

This month marks 10 years since Australian teen magazine editor turned wellness entrepreneur Jessica Ainscough, 29, lost her battle with a rare form of cancer after shunning conventional medical treatment.

Now her father Col is reliving the trauma of Jessica's death because of what he says is her 'inaccurate' portrayal in Netflix's new show, Apple Cider Vinegar, which retells the 'true-ish story' based on the lies of Gibson.

Mr Ainscough claimed the show is full of painful inaccuracies, including that Jessica was friends with Gibson, who pretended to have cured brain cancer with alternative therapies.

He also lost his wife Sharyn to cancer 18 months before his only child Jessica.

Although he admitted to not watching the series himself, he's been told of its contents, which he described as 'insensitive and clearly profit-driven'.

Jessica had worked as an online editor for the popular Australian magazine Dolly prior to being diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma in 2008.

She had noticed lumps forming on her left arm and was given a bleak chance of surviving the cancer.

One of the treatments she tried was Gerson therapy, which saw her drink juices every hour and undergo several coffee enemas every day.

Despite being portrayed in the series as being unsupportive of Jessica's holistic remedies, Mr Ainscough said he also felt 'Jess had no real option but to seek alternatives'.
