Alanis Morissette didn’t hold back when recalling her “Dogma” co-star Ben Affleck’s comments.
During the Nov. 11 date of her “Butterfly With a Machete” residency at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Calif., the singer spoke pointedly about Affleck during a monologue about the “harsh judgments” she felt in the public eye (via Entertainment Weekly).
“I even had a guy ask me why I didn’t take care of my sexuality,” she said. “Thank you, Ben Affleck.”
A video then showed a scene from “Dogma,” in which Morissette and Affleck both starred, where the latter’s head explodes. In the film, Morissette plays God, whose voice is so powerful that it instantly kills the fallen angel Bartleby, played by Affleck.
Elsewhere in the concert, Morissette spoke more about being in the public eye, where she felt “harsh judgments about my songs, about my body, about the way I look, about the way I think, about the way I feel, about my value system, about my weight, about my wildness, about my wild behavior, about my approach to parenting, about my approach to parenting, about my approach to fucking up.”
She then opened up about a failed attempt at “looking for a friend” by trying to hook up with another star, saying, “I called Johnny Depp at one point, and his response was, ‘Why are you calling me?’ »
Morissette’s “Butterfly With a Machete” residency just wrapped up after its fourth and final show, following an initial run in Las Vegas last year.
Variety reached out to Affleck’s rep for comment, but no response was received at the time of publication.
