<p>Singer Alanis Morissette has made an explosive claim about the music industry by saying that almost every woman in the industry has been assaulted, harassed, or raped.</p>
<p>Speaking with U.K. publication <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/alanis-morissette-interview-female-rage-gets-such-a-bad-rap-but-its-part-of-being-human-x30sfwtzz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Sunday Times, </a>Morissette, who began her music career in the 1990s when she was just a teenager, talked about the need for &#8220;female rage&#8221; in the times we live in.</p>
<p>“Female rage gets such a bad rap, but it’s part of being human,” Morissette said. “Not punching someone in the face, but anger channeled into activism or — heaven forbid — raising your voice, or saying no, or protecting your kids, or being a feminist.”</p>
<p>Morissette, who claims to have suffered sexual abuse going back to the age of three, also chastised the stigma that women face for &#8220;waiting&#8221; to come forward with an allegation.</p>
<p>“First of all, <em>they</em> didn’t wait,” she said. “Second, they face the threat of losing their job, reputation, or not being believed. At best it’s swept under the rug, at worst you are admonished or fired.”</p>
<p>When it comes to the #MeToo movement&#8217;s influence on the music industry, Morissette made her most explosive claim, alleging that a majority of women have suffered abuse in one form or another.</p>
<p>“It hasn’t even begun in the music industry. Almost every woman in the music industry has been assaulted, harassed, raped. It’s ubiquitous — more in music, even, than film,” Morissette said, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2020/music/news/alanis-morissette-me-too-movement-has-not-begun-music-industry-1234591991/">Variety</a>. “What, sex, drugs and rock’n’roll? By definition it’s crass, sweaty, and aggressive. But it’s only a matter of time before it has its own explosion of stories.”</p>
<p>Alanis Morissette has previously been open about her own experiences with sexual assault. In 2018, she told Britain&#8217;s <a class="class" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/6431658/alanis-morissette-musical-rape-educate/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">The Sun </a>that children should learn about sexual abuse at a young age.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think healthy sexuality is not something we are taught in schools. Relational functionality is not being taught in homes and schools,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Pop culture in movies and dance floors presents sex in a very one-dimensional, power-playing way. There are many people addicted to sex, traumatised by sexual trauma, and experiencing the fallout of that for the rest of their lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>Indeed, of all the industries to get hit by #MeToo, the music industry seems to have the least amount of bombshell allegations against top industry figures. Other than <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/13/arts/music/russell-simmons-rape.html">Russell Simmons</a>, and to some extent, R. Kelly and Michael Jackson, the industry avoided the kind of earth-shattering shakeups as seen by the film and fashion industries. Writing in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/shanonlee/2020/01/22/when-will-the-music-industry-have-its-metoo-moment/#5001a0df7803">Forbes</a> this past January, Shannon Lee even wondered if the music industry would ever have its #MeToo moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite a fickle reverence for Kesha, and other pop stars that share their experience of sexual assault, the American public has shown little interest in holding high-profile sex criminals in the music industry accountable,&#8221; wrote Lee. &#8220;R. Kelly retains a loyal fan base, and rapper and convicted child rapist Tekashi 6ix9ine just signed a new $10M record deal while serving time for racketeering.<strong><em> </em></strong>But, will new rape allegations spark an outpouring of testimonies from other survivors — emboldened by the Me Too Movement years after it caught fire — forcing us to finally pay attention?&#8221;</p>
