Anne Heche claims her ex-girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres ‘didn’t want me to dress sexy’

Anne Heche has claimed her then-girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres didn’t want her to ‘dress sexy’ as she rated her past red carpet looks in a bizarre video shared to TikTok on Tuesday.

The actress, 51, who dated the host, 63, from 1997 until 2000, brought up a throwback image of the pair posing at the 1998 Golden Globes ceremony, which saw the screen star sport a velvet duster coat. 

Insisting she wasn’t a fan of the look, the Another World icon said: ‘Why do I look like a hippie? It’s because Ellen didn’t want me to dress sexy.’

The performer went on to flash a thumbs down as she gave the appearance a zero out of 10. 

Shortly after the couple dated, the director tied the knot to Coley Laffoon, while the talk show presenter started a relationship with her now-wife Portia de Rossi. 

Anne’s divorce from the cameraman was finalised in 2009, two years after they initially ended their romance. 

The blonde later started dating Men In Trees co-star James Tupper in 2007, before they split in 2018.
