ELLE Macpherson has been targeted by trolls on Instagram, who have branded her feet “ugly” and “creepy” after her latest post.

The Body, 54, who last week went public with her controversial new anti-vaxx campaigner boyfriend, posted a shot of her toes poolside captioned “Peace”.

But the reaction online was far from peaceful.

Macpherson’s followers inundated the post with comments labelling her limbs “skinny” and “weird”, comparing them to “popsicles” and questioning, “what’s wrong with her feet?”.

Others jumped to the Super Elixr-founder’s defence, calling out the trolls for the bizarre foot-related backlash.

It came as Macpherson recently finalised her divorce with a settlement worth nearly $80 million … and debuted the new man in her life.

She has been photographed looking cosy with discredited British doctor and controversial anti-vaxx campaigner Andrew Wakefield, 61.

The couple were photographed flaunting some serious PDA at a market in Miami, where Macpherson is based.

She recently finalised her divorce from ex-husband, billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, with a $53 million cash settlement and a $26 million property, according to the Daily Mail.

But her Texas-born British-raised new suitor — who was banned from practising medicine in 2010 — is raising eyebrows.

Wakefield is a key player in the controversial anti-vaxxer movement, and was found to have falsely linked measles, mumps and rubella vaccines to autism.

The new couple were photographed kissing at Glaser’s organic farm in Miami last week. as they shopped for fresh produce.

It’s not the first time they have been seen together. Macpherson was on hand to support her new beau at the Doctors Who Rock awards in November last year.

After he published a controversial paper in 1998, vaccination levels dropped dramatically in the UK (from about 90 per cent to 70 per cent). His theories were discredited in 2004 after they were found to be based on “false evidence”.

While he cannot practice medicine in the UK, Wakefield — who has publicly supported President Donald Trump — now promotes his heavily criticised anti-vaccination views across the US.

Macpherson’s choice of suitor seems to contradict her famously super-healthy lifestyle, which includes following a vegan alkaline diet.
