‘Very bad day’: Anne Heche downed vodka, wine in podcast posted hours before crash

Anne Heche drank openly and slurred her way through a podcast that was posted hours before her horrifying high-speed crash.

Anne Heche slurred her way through a podcast that was posted online hours before her horrifying high-speed crash — saying she was downing vodka and wine after being “rocked” by a “very bad day.”

The troubled actor wore shades throughout the episode of Better Together which website TMZ said was posted on Friday, hours before she suffered horrifying burns after her car burst into flames in Los Angeles.

The troubling clip was later deleted, and a spokesman for Heche insisted it had actually been taped days earlier, according to the New York Post.

In the episode, Heche admitted to heavy boozing while the recording was taking place, blaming mysterious events for leaving her suffering “no good, very bad days.” She joked that listeners would have to keep their “fingers crossed” that she and co-host Heather Duffy would even make it through the recording.

“We each have a bottle in front of us because our friends sent us a bottle Re: Find!” she said triumphantly, noting how she once “even did a terrible commercial” for the company. Her co-host then quipped about how a doctor had told them “that we should be drinking vodka instead of wine”.

“And we listened! And we are drinking it — with wine chasers,” Heche said, laughing as she slurred so heavily she even got wrong the name of their podcast.

She then explained that she was boozing after “a very unique day”.

“I don’t know what happened — sometimes days just suck,” she said of “no good, very bad days”.

“I’m rocked — I am rocked,” she said, without elaborating on what happened. She later only complained about being interrupted while trying to meditate, as well as moving from her apartment into the drama-filled one that Johnny Depp had shared with ex-wife Amber Heard.

Hours after the episode was posted, TMZ shared shocking images of the long-troubled actor being stretchered away from the horror smash after her Mini burst into flames after hitting a house in Mar Vista, near Santa Monica on La’s beachfront.

The blaze was so bad, around 60 firefighters took more than an hour to douse it. It completely destroyed the house, and the homeowners — who only “very narrowly escaped” — lost an “entire lifetime of possessions, mementos” and work and household items, according to a fundraiser.

Despite the severity of the crash, Heche is “currently in stable condition,” her podcast partner, Duffy, said Saturday.

“Her family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time,” she said.

The actor’ spokesman told TMZ that the podcast about boozing was actually recorded Monday, four days before the crash.
