“It took me years in therapy to even admit there had been any kind of victimization on my part. I would always say I was consenting, 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 and it kind of fell on deaf ears. It would usually be a stand-up, walk-out-of-the-room moment.”
Alanis Morissette, 47, claims she was raped by multiple men when she was a 15-year-old Canadian pop star in a new documentary for HBO. The legal age of consent in Canada is 16. Morissette did not reveal the identity of her alleged abusers.
Despite collaborating with award-winning director Alison Klayman on “Jagged,” Morissette is “unhappy” with the final product and refusing to attend the doc’s upcoming premiere at the Toronto Film Festival,
