A social media video claims Barbara O’Neill’s daughter has been sentenced to prison for sharing “health secrets.” This claim is false and has no factual basis.
The Image is Fake
A unique tool that detects fake photos made by computers found that the picture of a woman in an orange prison suit in a courtroom is unreal. It was created by a computer using artificial intelligence.
Similar False Claims
Lead Stories has already exposed similar lies about unregistered naturopathic practitioners and their families. This new claim is just more of the same false information spreading online.
“While everyone is focusing on Diddy or the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse 🤦🏼♂️
They want to distract us from the fact that they sentenced Barbara O’Neill’s daughter to 45 years for revealing these HEALTH SECRETS 😳👉”

Barbara O’Neill: Unregistered Practitioner with Dubious Health Claims
Barbara O’Neill is not a registered healthcare professional in New South Wales, Australia. In 2019, the Health Care Complaints Commission issued a public statement warning about her:
She makes false and dangerous claims about health topics, including:
- Infant nutrition
- Cancer causes and treatment
- Antibiotics
- Vaccinations
- Her claims are not based on scientific evidence or supported by mainstream medicine.
Fake Image of Barbara O’Neill’s Daughter
An AI-detection tool called Hive Moderation analyzed an image claiming to show O’Neill’s daughter and found:
- 98.2% likelihood that the image is fake or contains AI-generated content (deep fake)
- The image is not actual and was likely created using artificial intelligence.
A Google search using Google Lens found that the image of a woman in an orange jumpsuit in a courtroom is fake and has been manipulated. The image is similar to other counterfeit photos with superimposed text claiming that the woman is Barbara O’Neill’s daughter being sentenced for revealing health secrets.
No Credible Sources to Support the Claim
A Google News search found no credible articles or reports to support the claim. The post should have provided details such as the woman’s name, location, or the supposed trial and sentencing date, making it harder to verify.
Lead Stories Has Debunked Similar Claims Before
Lead Stories has previously disproven similar claims about fake images showing family members of unregistered naturopathic practitioners being put on trial or sentenced to prison. On May 14, 2024, we debunked a claim about a picture of Barbara O’Neill’s cousin in a courtroom, which was also fake.
Beware of Misinformation
