Anne Heche’s Family Did Not Invite Ellen DeGeneres To The Actress’s Funeral
But even though DeGeneres and Heche dated for three years, reports claimed that the former wasn’t invited to the latter’s funeral.

Ellen DeGeneres Accused Anne Heche Of Using Her After Their Split
Prior to her death, DeGeneres and Heche have not spoken to each other in years. But after the actress’s demise, the host publicly sent her love and condolences to her ex-girlfriend’s family.
The exes dated between 1997 and 2000. And after they split, DeGeneres made some shocking claims about her ex-girlfriend.
“I thought Anne loved me with all her heart, but now I know the truth. Anne never truly loved me. I see now that I was being used. I guess she wasn’t gay. I am unsure now as to what her real motives were. I was naïve. I envisioned a beautiful future. We bought two homes together and that indicates commitment — at least on my part. I thought we were going to be together forever. My feelings were sincere. Obviously, there was some sort of agenda that I knew nothing about. My mom figured this out before I did,” DeGeneres said (via Radar Online).
The comedian also accused Heche of enjoying the attention that she got while they were still dating. DeGeneres, on the other hand, was the quieter one of the two.
“We were world famous. We were trailblazers. For a while, it was fun. I was hailed as a role model for all gay women. We were the trendy Hollywood lesbian couple! She liked that. But I soon felt a bit uncomfortable with the attention. I was worried that we couldn't live up to everyone's expectations and obviously, we didn't. This was the biggest heartbreak of my life,” she said.
As of writing, it’s unclear if DeGeneres is still mourning the loss of Heche since they have not been on good terms for years.
