Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Home Renter Denies $2 Million Settlement With Anne Heche's Son After Crash

The person living in the home the late Anne Heche crashed into days before her 2022 death is reportedly denying claims she reached a multi-million dollar settlement with the late actor’s son.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ and outlined in a Friday, June 19, report, Lynne Mishele — who rents the Los Angeles home and was living in the residence on August 5, 2022, when Heche crashed her Mini Cooper into the house, causing a fire — claims she has not reached a “tentative settlement” with Heche’s son and administrator of her estate, Homer Laffoon, for damages and emotional distress.

In November 2025, Us Weekly exclusively reported that Laffoon filed court docs requesting six months to legally wrap everything up regarding his mother’s crash.

“The relatively unusual circumstances of [Heche’s] passing (a vehicle crash into a home) and the resulting potential litigation required [Lafoon] to devote a substantial amount of time to evaluating claims and negotiating a potential settlement to move the administration forward,” Laffoon’s lawyer wrote in the report.

Anne Heche’s Son Reaches Deal With Creditors Demanding $6M Over Crash

The attorney added that Laffoon “has secured a tentative agreement that will need Court approval, once finalized. [Lafoon] is cautiously optimistic that the creditor claims can all be resolved without litigation.”

In her new filing, Mishele reportedly admits that while an agreement was discussed with Lafoon’s team, she claims she “needs to see a complete accounting of Anne’s estate before agreeing to any deal,” per TMZ.

According to Mishele, she has not received any accounting information from Heche’s estate “even though [Heche] passed away nearly four years ago.”

Laffoon was left in charge of his mother’s estate and finances after she died on August 11, 2022, from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries sustained from the fiery car crash days prior. She was 53. (The actress was kept on life support until August 14, 2022, when she was matched with various organ recipients for organ donation.)

A final autopsy and toxicology report produced by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner revealed that the actress had cocaine but no alcohol in her system at the time of the fatal crash.

In the 2025 filing, Laffoon revealed that his mother’s estate received three claims filed against it over his mother’s crash — two by homeowners and one by the renter. Each claim filed over the incident seeks $2 million in damages and distress. Another creditor claim was filed by Heche’s ex, actor Thomas Jane, who claimed she owed him $157,000 on a 2022 loan.

In response, Laffoon claimed he submitted “the appropriate paperwork with SAG-AFTRA to take possession of royalty payments made to [Heche] or her business entities for her prior works in the entertainment industry.”

Heche’s son further claimed that her estate is “insolvent,” made of only modest assets left behind totaling $200,000.

Laffoon and his half-brother, Atlas Tupper, are the only two beneficiaries of the estate. Tupper’s dad, James Tupper, initially opposed Laffoon taking over as administrator of Heche’s estate. Heche’s ex claimed the actress sent him an email that appointed him as administrator. Laffoon objected to the email being enforceable. The judge ended up siding with Laffoon and giving him control of Heche’s estate.
