Alanis Morissette recounts harrowing details of multiple rapes she suffered at 15

Alanis Morissette has taken the brave step of coming forward and revealing details of the harrowing multiple rapes she suffered at just aged 15.

As part of the promotion for a film called 'Jagged', Morissette has recounted the story in her own voice, back when she was a young Canadian pop star.

"I had to do years of therapy to admit that there had been some victimisation on my part," Morissette detailed to HBO.

"I would always say I was consenting, but then I'd be reminded like 'Hey, you were 15, and you're not consenting at 15. Now I'm like, oh yeah they're all paedophiles, it's all statutory rape."

Morissette stopped short of naming the alleged rapists in the film, but admitted she did tell industry insiders at the time, only to be dismissed.

"I did tell a few people and it kind of fell on deaf ears," Morissette said. "It would usually be a stand-up, walk-out-of-the-room moment."

The film 'Jagged' tells the story of her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill which was a massive success, selling over 33 million copies worldwide.
