Gibson called police this morning and asked them to escort her to her car, because a Channel Seven camera crew were parked outside her house.

“Police were called to an address in Northcote this morning following complaints that a large group of media were causing a disturbance,” a Victoria Police spokesman told news.com.au.

“Police attended the scene and no offences were detected. There will be no further investigation.”

Yesterday, The Herald Sun tracked Gibson down and asked her to comment on the case currently against her in the Victorian federal court.

Consumer Affairs Victoria alleges the founder of The Whole Pantry cookbook and app made false claims about curing her terminal brain cancer by eating healthy foods and undergoing natural therapies.

The 24-year-old claims she is often harassed by media when she is with her five-year-old son, Oliver.

“Channel Seven have previously been quite aggressive when we have been putting Oli in the car, or otherwise in public and simply didn’t want a repeat of past experiences,” Gibson told news.com.au, when asked why she had called police this morning.

“The only thing they — Channel Seven and other media — are achieving is the intimidation of a five-year-old old who is just trying to get to school.”

As for her wellbeing, Gibson says she is “OK” and is trying to “ensure the privacy and safety of my family.

Channel Seven’s news director Simon Pristel says his crew did nothing wrong.

“Seven News was doing its job and attempting to get Ms Gibson to answer the questions her victims, authorities and the courts all want answered,” Mr Pristel said. “Unfortunately Ms Gibson believes legitimate questioning is harassment.”

Last Friday Gibson and her lawyers failed to appear at a case management hearing at the Federal Court in Melbourne. She has until July 10 to file a defence.

“They are serious allegations and I want Ms Gibson to know the consequences of not contributing in this case,” Justice Debra Mortimer said, according toThe Australian.

“I want to give Ms Gibson one further opportunity to file a notice of address for service and a defence.”

If Ms Gibson fails to comply, she would be in contempt of court and could face prison.
