“I lied and cheated everyone for three years”: influencer makes up that he has cancer to gain followers

The lie has “short legs”, although in this case they were seen after three years. A woman managed to put on a charade about her health and told everyone at the time that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

The one accused of such a big lie is MianBaobao, who is presented in the New York Post as an influencer.

The New York outlet pointed out that the labeled liar woman, a native of Taiwan, decided to speak up when she was discovered by her husband, who is identified by the media as her alleged ex-husband.

He had no choice but to inform his followers, estimated at more than 11,000 on Instagram, that he was lying, that there was no such worrying diagnosis.

The influencer MianBaobao came to report that she was battling advanced pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer

The risk of developing pancreatic cancer, says the American Cancer Society, “increases with age. Almost all patients are older than 45 years.

He added that, at least in the United States, men are “slightly more likely to get pancreatic cancer than women”.

The Mayo Clinic also reads about this type of cancer that “it is rarely detected in its early stages, when it is most curable. This is because it often only causes symptoms after it has spread to other organs.”

These details, among many others, were apparently unknown to the influencer. Since announcing her worrying health condition, she “began sharing videos of herself exercising alongside her routine ‘cancer treatment sessions’.”

To make his fight against cancer visible, he published his material with hashtags similar to #cancerfightingdaily, published in the New York Post.

However, he started leaving loose ends and his ex-partner started tying them up. That’s how he dismantled the lie.

They discover the lie

The secrecy with which the influencer went to medical checkups caused the first warnings. His ex-partner commented that this was suspicious.

“Every time I went to treatment, she insisted that her family leave her at the hospital entrance And I asked to see the doctor alone”, said the man, quoted in the New York media.

Suspicions arose when he learned of the medical costs. According to the ex-partner, those expenses for the entire family in 2021 were only $ 275.

I have never seen an attending physician, diagnostic test, or hospital receipts from her for the past two years.

The information gathered by whoever her husband was prompted her to tell the truth. On June 1, 2023, he posted The country of Uruguaythe light of this case came out and the woman removed material from her networks.

The apparent ex-husband also “claimed that he used the diagnosis as an excuse to move out of their home and then filed for divorce.”

To all the family, friends, fans, netizens who ever cared about me, supported me, cheered me on, I want to apologize to everyone here. I did the last thing I should have done, lied about cancer and fooled everyone for three years.

The verdict fell like a bucket of cold water. Why lie with such a delicate, touchy subject? is the question of many.

In networking, Marc Fontalvo opined: “I’d never heard of pancreatic cancer lasting this long…not for nothing the saying: worse than pancreatic cancer.”

Without revealing what prompted her to keep up this charade, it’s possible, as the New York Post put it, that she did it to “boost her online profile.” Getting followers and likes should have a limit.
