“#EXCLUSIVE! Anne Heche Answers Our Burning Questions About Ellen!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nThis is AH-Mazing, y\u2019all!<\/p>\n

In her bombshell Better Together<\/em> podcast this week,\u00a0Anne Heche<\/strong> finally unloaded years of frustration with her ex\u00a0Ellen DeGeneres<\/strong>. She spoke about how she was silenced by the daytime diva, some of the reasons they broke up, and how relieved she was that the talk show she was banned from was finally over.<\/p>\n

But she\u2019s not done spilling the tea yet! In fact, the John Q<\/em> actress agreed to answer all our burning questions in an exclusive Q&A, along with her podcast co-host, Heather Duffy<\/strong> \u2014 but she made sure to note she was \u201cnot here to do any Ellen bashing.\u201d Fair enough, gurl! Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

When asked if she ever tried to reach out and make peace with the embattled talkshow host, Heche said:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day of my life with her was reaching out to her to make peace. I think it was a very difficult thing for her to trust that I was a woman who could fall in love with a woman without being gay, and I think that was a lot to process. So I tried to make that process as simple as possible by quitting Hollywood, moving to Ojai, growing gardens, starting to write and direct \u2014 which I did with her and Sharon Stone<\/strong>: a movie, of all things, called Conception<\/em> \u2014 and nothing would satisfy her soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow. Quitting acting, moving\u2026 Sounds like Anne really put her all \u2014 and then some \u2014 into this relationship. More on that in a bit\u2026<\/p>\n

Next, we discussed the toxic workplace environment accusations that came from former and current staffers on The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em>. Anne said she hadn\u2019t spoke to Ellen \u201cin years\u201d when that broke, but she was happ<\/a>y those who needed to \u201cspeak their truth\u201d about the TV star were doing so. When asked if the stories about the comedienne being \u201cemotionally abusive\u201d to her staff rang true to her, the 52-year-old said:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Emotionally abusive\u2019 is a container for our actions that we\u2019ve not healed, and unfortunately the abusive environment was something that I understood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A very classy way of saying YES, Ellen truly can be not-so-nice behind the scenes!<\/p>\n

Circling back to their relationship, we asked Anne when she knew she needed to break things off with the Finding Dory<\/em> star \u2014 and her answer contained a rather disconcerting tidbit. She began:<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted desperately to have that relationship be the love of my life. That was my Cinderella story. What happened was that I was, through the circumstances, shut out from things that I cared about and, in order to make her feel that she was being loved, I would erase those things from my path \u2014 such as acting \u2014 and replace them with things I thought would give her a foundation. As we got further and further away from me being able to be in public the way that would please, I began getting further and further away from my friends and my friendships, and one of the things that concerned me very much was that I was beginning to feel shut off and shut down and shut away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But it wasn\u2019t until Ellen made THIS shocking demand that Anne decided to walk out for good. She recalled:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I told Ellen that I needed to have friends, she said she did not want a girlfriend that needed that. And that is the day I left.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whoa. She didn\u2019t want a girlfriend who needed friends<\/em>? Everyone needs friends! WTF?!<\/p>\n

Despite the way their relationship ended, and how the comedia<\/a>n apparently spent the next two decades essentially derailing Anne\u2019s career by blocking her from ever appearing on Ellen<\/em>, the actress doesn\u2019t wish she never supported her ex. In fact, she feels quite the opposite because of how important that moment was:<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I supported her bigger, stronger, better, greater. I was given the opportunity to speak on the steps in Washington at the gay march in Washington and stand up for what I believe is our right to love without gender. And this is something that I wished that I could continue to say for the last 20 years by her side, on her arm, and I realized that she did not believe the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, things didn\u2019t work out the way Anne hoped they would, but we\u2019re glad she\u2019s finally speaking her truth. Ch-ch-check out the clip (below) for more.<\/p>\n
