Public Celebrity Lashes: Anne Heche tells Letterman how she Feels about her Ex
More often than not, divorce can leave a bitter taste, separating spouses and children. The need to justify your feelings and confirm that divorce is the right decision can be backed up by sharing your feelings with others.
Although some do it privately with their girlfriends or the guys, some people have access to share it with the world. Many in the entertainment industry are able to voice their opinions about their ex to the world and endearing fans who love to hear all the gossip.
But when does this cross the line?
Recently Anne Heche lashed out at her ex, former cameraman Coley Laffoon, not in the privacy of her own home or on the phone but on national television.
Anne’s recent appearance on the David Letterman show proved just how to humiliate your ex if you have a bitter break up.
She called him “a lazy ass” on television. She also implied that his job is to go out to the mail box and open up the little mailbox door and exclaim, “I got a check from Anne! I got a check from Anne!”
She continued to say that his latest adventure is to coach his 7-year-old’s soccer team.
“I divorced you! I don’t want to see you on soccer days!” she said, as if speaking to Laffoon.
Anne continued to say she got a divorce so she would no longer have to be around him, but that he apparently wants to hang around her because she is so “fantastic.”
After bashing her ex, she shared her feelings about marriage, stating that she thinks a long engagement is great.
Then she gave good old Dave Letterman a hard time about his nuptials, stating she told him not to get married because it ruins everything.
After hearing what Anne had to say on television, Laffoon told U.S Magazine he “was disturbed to see Anne taking out her personal frustration on the father of her child on national television.”
Laffoon filed for divorce in February 2007 after five years of marriage with Anne, and it was finalized in March 2009. They will share legal child custody of their son Homer, whose primary residence is established in LA to live with his father.
After all this bitterness, Anne now lives with her new beau, former co-star James Tupper. The two recently had a son and are happy together.
