Alanis Morissette did not hold back when recalling the words of her “Dogma” co-star, Ben Affleck.

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 “harsh judgments” she felt being in the public eye (via Entertainment Weekly).

“I’ve even had a guy ask me why I didn’t lead with my sexuality,” she said. “Thank you, Ben Affleck.”
