Eric Dane’s Exes Should Grieve, But Family Says They Want the Facts Straight

Rebecca Gayheart and her daughters understand Eric Dane‘s ex-girlfriends are grieving his loss — and they don’t want to diminish anyone’s feelings — but they want the facts straight about his final days.

TMZ previously reported … Eric was single for a while after he became ill … and on his deathbed, it was just Rebecca and his two teen girls.

A source close to the family tells TMZ … they “feel a deep responsibility to ensure that his story and memory remain accurate” about who was “present until the very last chapter of his life.”

We’re told the family — especially his daughters — wanted that crystal clear because they deserve the space to mourn without being “confronted by narratives that simply don’t align with the truth they lived.” Basically, they appreciate the condolences … but not perceived ambiguity or embellishment.

Dane’s exes, Janell Shirtcliff and Priya Jain, have both shared their feelings about his death — Janell a few days after his death — and Priya recently told TMZ she is still processing the loss. She specifically wished his family well. Worth noting, she also donated $10K to his GoFundMe created for the girls.
