Anne Heche talked slurred in a podcast that was posted hours before her horrifying high-speed crash. She said she was drinking vodka and wine after having a 'very bad day.'
The troubled actress wore sunglasses during the episode of "Better Together" that TMZ said was posted on Friday, just hours before her car caught fire in Los Angeles and left her with terrible burns.
Later, the disturbing clip was taken down, and Heche's rep said it had been recorded days before.
Still, Heche said she drank a lot at the time and blamed "no good, very bad days" on mysterious things that happened.
She joked that listeners should "cross their fingers" that she and her co-host Heather Duffy would even make it through the recording.
"We are sitting with Re:Find," she said about the artisanal vodka, which was the same kind of alcohol that Heche appeared to have in her Mini Cooper in a photo taken just before she crashed into a building.
‘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 in the drama-filled one that Johnny Depp had shared with ex-wife Amber Heard.
Hours after the episode came out, TMZ posted shocking pictures of the actress, who has had a lot of problems, being carried away from the horror smash after her Mini hit a house in Mar Vista and caught on fire.
The fire was so bad that it took more than an hour and about 60 firefighters to put it out.
It completely destroyed the house, and the people who lived there "barely escaped" with their lives. According to a fundraiser, they lost "a lifetime of possessions, mementos, and work and household items."
Even though the crash was bad, Heche is "in stable condition right now," her podcast partner Duffy said on Saturday.
"Her family and friends ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers and give her space during this hard time," she said.
The actress's representative told TMZ that the podcast about drinking was actually recorded on Monday, four days before the crash.
