"We were told that my contract for Fox would be [ended] and I would be fired. And that the movie that I had just met Harrison Ford on wouldn’t hire me," Heche revealed in a 2018 interview. "And we went to the premiere — these are the stories that I know people don’t know — we went to the premiere, we were tapped on the shoulder, put into her limo in the third act and told that we couldn’t have pictures of us taken at the press junket. And both she and I were fired that week."

As OK! previously reported, in an unearthed June 2021 episode of Heche's podcast "Better Together," Heche revealed that Portia de Rossi came to her about the dangers of dating DeGenres.

“I warned Portia,” the actress said. “Portia even asked me about Ellen before she came to my wedding, and Portia even said, ‘I’m gonna go after Ellen.'”
