Alanis Morissette says she was victim of multiple statutory rapes as a teenager
Listening to her music, this isn't as shocking as it might have been.

Fuck me. I'd not considered that song's lyrics in that context (had assumed it was a shitty non-paedophile boyfriend) but now that I've seen that story, it's pretty much impossible for that song to be anything but what it is - an acerbic takedown of an adult predating on her as she started her music career.

It was always clear that she had an... erm... unhealthy relationship with sex.
Back then, I'd assumed more the usual bad-boyfriend cycle, daddy issues, or just marketing to be a bad girl.
As you say, revisitting Hands Clean in particular, it's so obvious... in retrospect

No one is surprised that an underage girl was victimised in the music industry, yes?
I mean, it's not like Jimmy Page was known to be fucking a 13 year-old girl back in the early 70s when Led Zep were touring the US, and R Kelly's love for underage strange was known in the mid-90s when he tried to marry a 14 year-old girl, not to mention the piss tape was known and reported on as early as 2002.

No need to be squeamish. It's only the Wikipedia entry to a song called "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number," written and produced by a known wrong'un, and performed by a 15 year-old girl. Totally nothing untoward going on, I swear!
