Ellen DeGeneres may have shared her condolences after her ex-girlfriend Anne Heche tragically passed away last week, but that doesn’t mean they were on good terms. She reportedly will not be included in the late film star’s funeral.
As we reported, the Volcano actress passed away on Friday following a fiery car crash in Los Angeles the week before.
