'I was a part of a revolution that created social change, and I could not have done that without falling in love with her.'
magazine, the 51-year-old actress opens up about what it was like dating DeGeneres from 1997 to 2000.Back in the '90s, DeGeneres and Heche were ridiculed for going public with their same-sex relationship. Recalling that moment in time, Heche tells the outlet,"I was a part of a revolution that created social change, and I could not have done that without falling in love with her."
While the two faced plenty of backlash throughout their years as a couple together, Heche specifically recalls the day she was escorted out of the"I was told by Fox Studio executives that if I brought Ellen to the premiere, my contract would be terminated," she recalls."I brought Ellen despite those threats, and we were escorted out of the theater before the lights came on by security and not allowed to attend the premiere party because they did not want any photos of us together.
"The difference between what would happen today and what happened then is that I would not have been ushered out of my own premiere and fired from a multi-million dollar picture deal with Fox for taking a girl as my date," she adds. Later in the interview, Heche also addressed the current allegations of workplace toxicity surrounding "I haven’t spoken to Ellen in years," she admitted."I'd listen to the people who have."
"If I'm standing someplace and I don't like what’s going on there and I stay there, it's my fault," she continued. "So what are the actions that got me there and why can't I get out of it easily if that's not something that I want to be engaged in? Ellen is standing where she walks, and that is hers to continue that journey."
