The only time she comes out is to see the doctor.” The ENQUIRER was also there when Heather was spotted by startled shoppers at an upscale Los Angeles mall in July 2016, who reported she looked “puffy-faced and out of it!”

Heather seemingly was flying solo when she made her first red-carpet appearance of 2017 at the Farrah Fawcett Foundation's Tex-Mex Fiesta in Beverly Hills on Saturday, Sept. 9.
