Alanis Morissette turned a trip down memory lane into an unexpected Ben Affleck callout, reminding fans that even Hollywood friendships can come with some awkward conversations.
During her November 11 performance at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, the singer reflected on the harsh judgments she has faced throughout her career.
Then she dropped a name from her past — her Dogma co-star.

“I’ve even had a guy ask me why I didn’t lead with my sexuality,” she said. “Thank you, Ben Affleck.”
The remark was followed by a clip from the 1999 film showing Affleck’s character, Bartleby, meeting a rather explosive end.
Morissette played God in the movie, and her powerful voice was enough to make the fallen angel’s head explode. Talk about a perfectly timed visual.
The singer also listed the many aspects of her life that have been picked apart in public, including her music, appearance, weight, parenting and personal values.
And Affleck wasn’t the only famous name to get a mention.
Morissette recalled trying to reach out to Johnny Depp in search of a friend, only to receive a less-than-warm response.
“I did call Johnny Depp at one point, and his response was, ‘Why are you calling me?’”
The stories came during the final show of Morissette’s four-date Butterfly With a Machete residency, which followed an earlier run in Las Vegas.
