Anne Heche says she was ‘cancelled’ in Hollywood after going public with her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres in 1997. Heche tells Page Six she felt like “patient zero in cancel culture.” https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1452735819584839683 From Page Six:
Heche, 52, famously made headlines when she invited DeGeneres, 63, as her date to the 1997 premiere of “Volcano.”
The two faced scrutiny for their same-sex partnership at the time, but Heche told us her spontaneous gesture to invite DeGeneres was “about living in loving-kindness.”
She remembered that the repercussions were swift and harsh, however, due to the nature of the times.
“I didn’t do a studio picture for 10 years,” she claimed. “I was fired from a $10 million picture deal and did not see the light of day in a studio picture.”
In 2020, Heche told Mr. Warburton Magazine she and DeGeneres were escorted out of the Volcano premiere by security and not allowed to attend the party because producers didn’t want any photos of the couple to surface. The actor also expresses her gratitude to Six Days, Seven Nights co-star Harrison Ford for standing by her being cast in the film as the scandal continued calling him a “hero.” Heche stars in the upcoming tornado drama 13 Minutes scheduled for release in theaters on Oct. 29, and on-demand and digital Nov. 19. https://twitter.com/huffpostqueer/status/1452971948187602954 (lead photo by Alan Light – CC license)
