Anne Heche Explains Reports That She Stormed Off 'Dancing with the Stars' Set After Elimination

Anne Heche was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars this week, and there were reports that after the elimination, she stormed off set and refused to speak to reporters waiting for her on the press line.

Before her elimination, Anne opened up about how her relationship with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres really impacted her career in Hollywood. The pair dated from 1997 to 2000.

Page Six asked her about these reports and she responded, “The honest truth is that it took 20 years to process and share that story, so finally, telling it and being voted off on the same night was not the best feeling.”

“It did feel good to tell my story to show that we have come a long way, and we see things with more acceptance now — even though we are not all the way there yet, it’s important to recognize how far we have come,” she continued.

She called her experience on the competition show a “wild ride.”
