Alanis Morissette slams Ben Affleck over comment on 'my sexuality,' falls onstage - USA Today
Alanis Morissette didn't pull any punches onstage at a recent show.
The "Ironic" singer, 52, slammed her "Dogma" costar Ben Affleck, 54, at the final night of her Los Angeles concert on Nov. 11 during a monologue over an alleged comment he made.
"Iβve even had a guy ask me why I didnβt lead with my sexuality," she told the crowd at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. "Thank you, Ben Affleck."
The show also featured a scene from the 1999 fantasy comedy, in which Affleck's character's head explodes. In the movie, Morissette played God, whose voice kills the fallen angel Bartleby, who Affleck played.
USA TODAY has reached out to Affleck's representative for comment.
Morissette also discussed "harsh judgments" she's experienced in the public eye about "my songs, about my body, about how I look, about how I think, about how I feel, about my value system, about my weight, about how feral I am, about how feral I live, about my approach to parenting, about my approach to education, my approach to freaking anything."
She also shared she previously made an unsuccessful attempt at "looking for a friend" with Johnny Depp when she called him "and his response was, 'Why are you calling me?'"
The "You Oughta Know" singer's signature move took a turn when she knocked over a microphone stand, which in turn caused her to fall.
Video shared by Entertainment Weekly shows the Grammy-winning alt-rock musician tumble and quickly get back up while performing her 1998 track "Uninvited." Unfazed, she immediately went back to dancing during the song's upbeat instrumental, kicking the air and shaking her hair up and down.
"This is actually totally normal for her performances haha maybe not the mic falling, but the rest?? Hell yea ππ," one fan commented under the video.
The Nov. 11 concert was the fourth and final show of her "Butterfly With a Machete" residency, following Morissette's eight-show residency in Las Vegas last year.
