Alanis Morissette revealed that she
was raped when she was 15 years old
.
Those statements appear in a documentary about his life titled
Jagged
, which premiered this Monday, September 13 at the Toronto Film Festival.
According to the newspaper
The Washington Post
, in the film the Canadian singer reviews sexual episodes that she experienced in her adolescence and affirms that now she realizes that
they were not consented
.
"It took me years of therapy to admit that I had been a victim," he says at one point.
"He always told me that I had consented, and then someone would remind me 'you were fifteen, you can't give your consent at fifteen.'
Now I think 'yes, they
were all pedophiles, it was the rape of a minor
' ”.
Alanis Morissette in "Jagged", the documentary she presented at the Toronto Film Festival.
Why do you count it now
The star did not reveal the identity of her abusers and said she had previously told "some people" about the episodes, but her account "fell on deaf ears."
He explained, "Usually it was a time when they would get up and leave the room."
In addition, he said that he
suffered pressure from the industry
not to make public what had happened to him.
Morissette continued: “You know a lot of people say 'why did that woman wait 30 years?'
Fuck off.
It's not that they wait 30 years.
No one was listening, or his livelihood was threatened, or his family was threatened.
The whole 'why do women wait?'
Women do not wait: our culture does not listen ”.
"The fact that I did not share specific information about my experience as a teenager was because I wanted to protect: protect my parents, protect my siblings, protect future partners," he added.

Last year, the voice of

spoke about the importance of therapy, saying, "If I hadn't had a full team of therapists throughout my life, I don't think I would be here anymore."
How is the documentary
The synopsis released by the Toronto Film Festival says of
Jagged
: “Alanis Morissette takes a candid look back at her youth in the whirlwind of stardom.
The Canadian, formerly a teen pop singer in her home country, was just 21 when her album
Jagged Little Pill
topped international charts in 1995, fueled by hits like
You Oughta Know
,
Hand in My Pocket
,
Ironic
, and more. "
Today they are
feminist alternative rock anthems
and the basis of a Broadway musical.
With the power of hindsight, Morissette can now review the good, the bad and the ugly of that period in his life and career, ”he continues.

The director is Alison Klayman, who previously directed documentaries by artists such as Ai Weiwei or Carmen Herrera.
"His sensitive interview style gives Morissette the space to reflect on his journey from Ottawa to Hollywood and around the world," the text continues.
“The film brings additional perspectives from the male band members who traveled with Morissette and joined in the whirlwind of performing to crowds from city to city.
We also hear from fans, like Garbage's Shirley Manson, critic Hanif Abdurraqib, and filmmaker Kevin Smith, who cast Morissette to play God in their movie
