ALANIS NOT PLEASED WITH FILM

- Mark Daniell

Before the Toronto Internatio­nal Film Festival première of a new HBO documentar­y about her life, Alanis Morissette has slammed the finished product. Jagged charts Morissette's rise from teen pop queen to confession­al rock star following the release of 1995's Jagged Little Pill.

The seven-time Grammy winner, shown, said she agreed to participat­e in the documentar­y because she thought it was going to celebrate the 25th anniversar­y of her breakthrou­gh album. “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,” she writes in a statement.

Morissette alleged the film fictionali­zes parts of her story. She didn't address which parts, but its most sensitive material includes Morissette discussing sexual encounters when she was 15 that she calls statutory rape.
