‘If men couldn’t have sex with me, they didn’t know what to do with me’: Alanis Morissette on addiction, midlife liberation and the predatory 90s

Alanis Morissette, the iconic '90s singer behind angsty anthems like You Oughta Know, is opening up about her struggles with addiction, the toxic dynamics of fame in that era, and how she’s reclaiming her voice in midlife. In a candid interview, she reflects on the predatory behavior she faced as a young woman in the industry—where men often reduced her worth to sex—and how she’s now embracing all sides of herself, from the "hormonal bitch" to the people-pleaser. With a headline Glastonbury slot coming up, she’s ready to roar again.
