Elle Macpherson reveals shocking reason for divorce from billionaire Jeffrey Soffer: ‘Straw that broke the camel’s back’

Supermodel Elle Macpherson says the controversial decision to treat her breast cancer diagnosis “holistically” led to the end of her marriage to billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. The Australia-born beauty, 60, made the bombshell claim in her new memoir, “Elle: Life, Lessons and Learning to Trust Yourself.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, were still married at the time that the model was diagnosed in 2017.

Macpherson refused chemotherapy from 32 doctors, revealing that her decision took a toll on her marriage. “My diagnosis of breast cancer, followed by my final choice of Dr C’s holistic approach to recovery… was not one that Jeff could trust or feel at ease about,” she candidly wrote.

Never understand why some here are so nasty and bitter

Disconcerting

No I’m not perfect
Bash Dixie to virtue signal over my dead ancestors who’s shoes you never walked in

You’ll get the sharp end of my tongue lash admittedly

So you think my friend who self treated his prostate cancer and died did the right thing by not getting chemo and radiation? Is that your take?

I stated a fact. I could add a few more, similar facts. He’s not the only person I knew who:

1) Was diagnosed with some form of cancer.

2) Followed the “recommended” pharmaceutical industry treatment of radiation and poison.

3) Suffered horrible “side effects” from said treatment.

4) Then died miserably.

“Standard” cancer treatment is no guarantee of anything remotely resembling a positive outcome. Anybody who says otherwise is blowing smoke in your face. Likewise, “holistic” (or whatever you want to call it) cancer treatment is no guarantee of anything remotely resembling a positive outcome. Anybody who says otherwise is blowing smoke in your face.

It’s your life. Choose, and live or die with the consequences.

In the long run, we’re all dead. I’ve attended far too many funerals to have any illusions or delusions about it.
