Elle Macpherson HANGS UP on radio station after ‘triggering’ query

Elle Macpherson abruptly hung up on B105’s Stav, Abby & Matt breakfast radio show during a live interview on Tuesday.

The Australian supermodel, 60, was discussing her breast cancer diagnosis and holistic treatment path with hosts Stav Davidson, Loren Barry & Matty Acton.

Matt then asked Elle about how she votes as an Australian citizen living in Miami.

Elle said she wouldn’t ‘get drawn into politics on morning radio’ before claiming she had another interview to attend.

‘I’m not going to ask you who you are voting you. I’m just asking about the logistics about how you’re going to do that if you’re living in Miami,’ Matt explained.

Elle then responded: ‘I’m sorry, these guys are calling me. I have a live show. Can we come back to this?’ 

She then shocked the radio hosts by suddenly hanging up the phone.

A stunned Matt quipped: ‘I don’t reckon she’s calling back.’

His co-host, Loren, who is filling in for Abby Coleman, joked: ‘Did we just expose her for voter fraud? Is she, like, not voting and doesn’t want to be fined?’

‘We just got ghosted by Elle Macpherson, that’s a career highlight!’ Stav jokingly added.

The interview comes after Elle recently prompted a wave of backlash from the public and health professionals after she revealed the unconventional treatment path she chose to battle cancer.

The model was diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago but revealed the diagnosis for the first time in her new memoir.

Addressing her breast cancer battle in a candid interview with 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday, Elle told Tracy Grimshaw she was in ‘shock’ when she got the diagnosis, but chose not to have the mastectomy and chemotherapy that her doctors suggested.

‘As you can imagine, it was a bit of a shock. I think any woman, most women, when they’re diagnosed, don’t think it will to happen to them,’ she said. 

Elle underwent a lumpectomy, and learned her cancer had no clear margins — meaning it could have spread.

She said she was told to have a ‘mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone replacement’.
