Ellen DeGeneres’ frosty response to ex’s car crash
Ellen DeGeneres has commented on ex Anne Heche’s horrifying incident which has landed her in a coma.
The 53-year-old actress was reportedly driving at an extraordinary 140km/h when she crashed her Mini Cooper into a house in Los Angeles.
Her car burst into flames and Anne was pulled out, suffering severe burns and has since ended up in a coma.
Anne’s ex, talk show legend Ellen, was inquired about the incident and asked if she has spoken to her.
“No, I have not. We’re not in touch with each other, so I wouldn’t know,” she responded, news.com.au reported.
Ellen was then asked if she had any well wishes for her former partner to which she just responded with a, “Sure, I don’t want anyone to be hurt”.
The crash is currently being investigated by the LAPD who have confirmed that if Anne is found to have been drunk she would face significant charges.
"If found intoxicated, [Heche] could be charged with misdemeanour DUI hit and run. No arrests have been made so far,” a representative said.
Anne’s representative has confirmed that she is in an “extreme critical condition”.
“She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” her representative said.
“She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.”
Anne and Ellen made their relationship public on the red carpet for the movie premiere of Volcanoes back in 1997.
However, Anne was told she would lose her contract if she appeared with Ellen, who was also advised to appear alone.
The pair did not adhere to what they were asked to do and instead showed up on the red carpet but were reportedly kicked out before the movie ended.
Their relationship lasted three-and-a-half years before they broke it off and within hours, Anne was spotted at a stranger's house which saw the police called.
She also had a public breakdown amid the break-up.
