Hmmm, have any cults in the past turned people to suicide? As someone with schizoaffective disorder and attempted suicide twice, it is. People with mental illness are often the abused partners. He was already charged with child abuse so why should I not speculate he also abused his first wife?

And we already know he does not care about people's lives since as of March 2024 there are 32 reports of people allegedly dying in relation to the Wim Hof Method

It is Hof's story that she had Schizophrenia anyway. I have yet to hear anyone else but him say she was mentally ill.

>According to Rob, Hof also abused Olaya. ‘From the very beginning until Olaya’s death in 1995 there was a lot of domestic violence in their marriage,’ he states in his report, which he recently discussed with the Prosecution Office. ‘I observed from close by (…) how Wim would leave his wife and children to their own devices without adequate clothing or food while he was out pulling dangerous stunts.’ According to Rob Hof, Olaya was completely dependent on his brother and she had to beg for food. From his report: ‘That didn’t sit well with Wim and he would beat her. If that didn’t help, he would lock her up in a kitchen cupboard.’

It’s a reasonable question to consider when faced with the lengthy claims against Wim in the article.
