Her statement
“I was lulled into a false sense of security and their salacious agenda became apparent immediately upon my seeing the first cut of the film. This is when I knew our visions were in fact

I’m confused, but I am still living in the world of words have meaning. But by definition facts are only facts if they are true. Lies and allegations are the opposite of that. Alternate facts don’t exist.

So did someone lie or someone tell a fact she doesn’t like?

Fwiw I’m not taking sides or anything, I’m legit confused by does she not like it cause they told the truth and one she didn’t wish to share or perhaps acknowledge, or because they lied? or because she thought it would be a wholly flattering documentary she had control over?

It’s a brain day so if I’m getting hung up on one spot as I said that’s why. I read the post but I’m not sure if it’s legit complaint being voiced or celebs don’t like being reminded of reality.

When she says she was lulled into a false sense of security, it sounds like she shared info that she didn't think would make it into the film--like she forgot she wasn't talking to a friend in confidence but was instead speaking on record to someone who wanted to create a profitable film.

But in that situation it makes Alanis seem strangely naive for someone who's been dealing with the press for decades.

It's still a terrible situation for her though.

In the full statement she talks about how she was in the middle of severe postpartum depression while filming this, so she would be more vulnerable and it sounds like they took advantage of her guard being down. I am hearing more about her realizing she could not give consent at 15 to a 30 something man more then about the JLP album, which was not about that. "Hands Clean" from "Under Rug Swept" deals with that.Plus she has press for that new fox reality show coming on next week, so she is probably extra on edge. She better be inducted in The Rock and Roll Hall of fame next year.

I’m guessing that part about consent is about the events leading up to the making of JLP and has little to do with URS.

it's about her pop phase in Canada. she wrote "Hands Clean" and "Flinch" about Leslie Howe who produced/wrote her first two albums in Canada. she talked about how she was around 15 and he was in his late 20s when they had a thing. i've been an Alanis fan for almost two decades and i'm sure i've heard this story many times, so this makes no news to me. the question is, why she gets so mad now, given that she's spoken out publicly about her past.

[allapologies]

I know. I’m just pointing out that the events which have been dealt with in URS’ songs and possibly after coincide with the history that led up to her moving to L.A and meeting Glenn. So it makes sense that it’s in the documentary. Them using it for marketing does not mean it’s the biggest chunk of the story. And I’m not even sure she’s upset about that. I saw that her old bandmates, including Taylor, interviewed so who knows how deep they went. She talked about that stuff last year or two years ago again so I’m pretty sure there was something else that made her upset.

I wonder if it got too emotionally open, like say therapeutic, and she feels very exposed.

I wonder as well if through this she revealed something that made the producers go digging that she just wasn't ready to face? Not in a seedy way (though totally possible). Having someone look at your life from the outside can be so scary and will open up things and views of yourself you never considered.

Or it's possible she fucked up and said she hates puppies or something and they made the whole doc about that.

I'm actually way more interested in it now that she is disowning it cause I'm a gossip goblin.
