During the HBO documentary ‘Jagged’ alanis Morissette discloses she was raped by multiple men as a teenager over 30 years ago. 

Back in early 2020, she stated during an interview with The Sunday Times, “It (#MeToo) hasn’t begun in the music industry. Almost every woman in the music industry has been assaulted, harassed, raped. It’s ubiquitous - more in music, even, than film.”

What Alanis says about not coming forward years ago in ‘Jagged’ is extremely important:

“Me not telling specific information about my experience as a teenager was almost solely around wanting to protect. Protect my parents, protect my brothers, protect my future partners, protect my physical safety. 

There was a lot of shame around having any kind of victimization of any kind. And it took me years in therapy to even admit that there had been any kind of victimization on my part. I would always say, you know, ‘I was consenting.’ You know? And then I’d be reminded, like, ‘Hey, you were 15. You’re not consenting at 15.’ Now I’m like, ‘Oh yeah they’re all pedophiles. It’s all statutory rape.’ 

I did tell a few people, you know, it kind of fell on deaf ears a little bit. It would usually be a ‘stand up, walk out of the room’ moment. 

So a lot of people say, ‘Why did that woman wait 30 years?’ I’m like, ‘Fuck off, they didn’t wait 30 years.’ No one was listening, or their livelihood was threatened, or their family was threatened. So, yeah, the whole ‘why do you women wait’ thing, women don’t wait. A culture doesn’t listen.”
