Following Anne Heche and Ellen DeGeneres’ joint appearance at the “Volcano” premiere, Heche said she went 10 years without landing another role in a studio picture. “I was in a relationship with Ellen DeGeneres for 3 1/2 years, and the stigma attached to that relationship was so bad that I was fired from my multimillion-dollar picture deal, and I did not work in a studio picture for 10 years,” Heche said, as reported by Today.
Around the time that Heche opened up about her past romance with DeGeneres on “Dancing With the Stars,” she also shared a poignant statement on her Instagram page. “I hope you tune in to [‘Dancing With the Stars’] where I will talk about my story in the ’90s and how standing up for [LGBTQ] rights impacted my career in a way that it would not today. Whatever the consequences of that were, the good far outweighs the bad, and I would not change any of it. I hope that by living my life in honesty helped move the needle of acceptance,” Heche wrote.

“At that moment, [Ellen] took my hand and said, ‘Do what they say’ and I said, ‘No thanks.’ I took Ellen to the premiere and I was ushered out before the movie even ended and was told I was not allowed to go to my own after party for fear that they would get pictures of me with a woman,” Heche recalled.
