NRL legend Benji Marshall’s wife Zoe has opened up about her plans to use MDMA to treat her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The WAG made the confession on The Sh!t Show with Tammin Sursok podcast after revealing she has OCD with a metaphobia – the fear of vomit.
Zoe, 40, revealed she has now discovered she can go through the MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MDMA-AT) program which involves using the drug to treatment mental health conditions.
‘I’ve done all of the things for so long, and I’ve just learned that I could potentially qualify to go through a program in Australia that uses MDMA and a psychiatrist to unlock this place in my brain I can’t access with therapy,’ she said.
‘This is huge, and I’ve just broached it to my husband, who’s super anti-drugs and it is is it wildly expensive in Australia.

‘We’re talking about bringing holistic and alternate medicine together. But I couldn’t be at home to do it. I have to be in a hospital to do it.’
Zoe explained: ‘I would need a medical team around me for this specific part of me to be safe enough to come forth through that experience.’
From 1 July 2023, authorised psychiatrists in Australia are able to prescribe MDMA for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Zoe and her husband Benji tied the knot in 2013 and share two children together, son Benjamin, six, and daughter Ever, three.
Last year, Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson told how Benji’s devotion to his family should be admired.
‘Because [Benji] doesn’t work 14 hours a day and wants he and his players to have a family life, it’s a good thing,’ he said in a statement.
‘I wish I had learnt that 20 years earlier. It would have saved me a lot of grief in my own personal life.
‘What he’s trying to do is instill a balance between life and work. I think he’s got it.’

Zoe and Benji’s 12-year marriage has seen the pair move interstate and abroad with their two children.
The rugby league WAG previously said she is proud the couple have managed to maintain such a strong relationship over the years.
Zoe and Benji walked down the aisle for a second time in 2023 when they renewed their vows at home, surrounded by family and friends.
While she was pregnant with their daughter Ever, Zoe admitted the couple had split up three times before tying the knot in 2013.
The family recently moved into a new $4.75million family home in Sydney.
Benji began his NRL career in 2003 and retired as a player in 2021. In 2024 he became the coach of his former team the Wests Tigers.
