After the dance, Heche proclaimed, "I feel redeemed."

She was eliminated later that night.

Damn

conservative viewers who vote on these shows heard her story and said "no!"

the same viewers who voted for bobby bones and he won his season.

The way she was dragged and mocked for being bisexual and being mentally ill has always bothered me.

I think she was permanently estranged from homophobic mother for her relationship with Ellen plus it damaged her career so it has always upset me when she was mocked. I specifically remember a Church Lady sketch on SNL

I've watched her old sitcom and she's actually really funny.

I read her wiki page and apparently she's estranged from her entire family because she said her father abused her and both her mom and sister have denied it publically.

wow, she was really brave. i can't imagine. i'm sure i would be too afraid to jeopardize my career like that, and i'm bisexual too.

Why did windupbarbie give this a thumbs down?

[deathrvltn]

i don't know! my comment feels straightforward, and very tame. ha ha.

[warwarwar]

It is haha. Maybe they meant to hit a different reaction

[ritaamber]

I know she took the biggest bullet for the same sex relationship, but I feel like there was really bizarre behavior and suspected drug use around that time which also didn't help her career.

Do we know what Ellen's response was on Heche's breakdown?

[babarsuhail]

She had a mental breakdown right after the breakup with Ellen.

[deathrvltn]

:( this is a really sad story. i'm glad she knocked on that woman's door. my dad had done super similar things to this when he was going through psychosis.

[fraggleroq]

I really loved her presence on the show. What a ball of energy!
Disappointed that she got sent home ... especially after such a personal story reveal.

This is the first time I've ever watched Dancing with the Stars! LOL

Right! And love how she called Keno a king =)
