Elle is speaking out about her harrowing addiction Full story here

Elle Macpherson reveals her shocking drug habit – after revealing she drank vodka ‘every night’

The Australian supermodel, 60, speaks at length about her addiction and journey to getting sober in her memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself.

In one chapter, she revealed how she would frequently get black-out drunk and drink ‘shots of vodka’ after putting her sons Cy and Flynn Busson to bed when they were young.

Now, Elle has confessed on Wednesday’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show to using cocaine for weight loss while she was modelling.

Radio host Kyle Sandilands told her: ‘I made the mistake, and I’m happy to admit it, that I thought I’d lose weight by having cocaine for ten years. Now, did I lose the weight? No, I didn’t. I got the bloat.’

In response, Elle admitted: ‘I’ve done that!’

Her remark came as she discussed why she controversially turned to holistic healing methods rather than chemotherapy after getting diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.

‘It wasn’t like there was a one size fits all golden bullet, golden nugget that you could just take and say, ”Okay, this is going to guarantee upper wellness at the end of it”,’ she said.

‘Sometimes it’s a combination; it’s not either-or, maybe it’s a combination of things.

‘People just have to go on a journey of research and find out what resonates with them and get as much advice as you can.’

In her memoir, Elle – who was dubbed ‘The Body’ at the peak of her fame – detailed the depths of her addiction before giving up alcohol and getting sober in 2003.
