Anne Heche 'warned' Portia de Rossi against 'red flag' Ellen DeGeneres

Anne Heche warned Portia de Rossi against pursuing ex-girlfriend Ellen De Generes, calling her a “red flag.”

The actress recalled the conversation during a 2021 episode of her Better Together podcast with Heather Duffy.

Heche and DeGeneres dated for three years before a public breakup in 2000.

"By the way, I warned her," Heche told Duffy. "Portia even asked me about Ellen."

Anne and Portia were acquainted through starring in the comedy-drama Ally McBeal together.

She continued: "Portia came to my wedding [to ex-husband Coleman ‘Coley’ Laffoon in 2001] because I was on Ally McBeal with her. Portia even said, 'I'm gonna go after Ellen.'"

"And by the way, it wasn't a great spot. But, yours ain't gonna be any easier," she told Portia. "And I'm telling you now, like, red flag, red flag, red flag!"

DeGeneres celebrated her 14-year wedding anniversary to de Rossi on Tuesday, August 16.
