Alanis Morissette has lashed out at Dogma co-star Ben Affleck over alleged remarks he made about her sexuality, before she came out as pansexual at 52.
The Jagged Little Pill hitmaker took aim at Affleck, 54, during an explosive segment amid her Los Angeles residency Butterfly with a Machete, which is a mixture of music and storytelling.
The pair memorably starred together in the 1999 American fantasy comedy film, in which Affleck played a fallen angel and Morissette God, with the singer sharing a violent video of Affleck’s head exploding in the film’s finale as she lambasted him.
In a fan captured video, Morissette says: ‘I’ve even had a guy ask me why I didn’t lead with my sexuality’ before dramatically pausing and quipping, ‘Thank you, Ben Affleck.’
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Morissette and Affleck for comment and has yet to hear back.
This comes after the singer bravely came out as pansexual at age 52.

The Jagged Little Pill hitmaker opened up about her sexuality during a recent episode of the Handsome podcast, which is hosted by lesbian comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, and non-binary screenwriter Mae Martin.
After discussing Morissette’s notoriously angst-ridden discography, Feimster said to the singer: ‘I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it.’
She then added: ‘Did it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?’
Without skipping a beat, Morissette responded: ‘I’m pansexual, so yeah.’
Stunned by the revelation, Notaro said: ‘Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?’
‘I am,’ the mother-of-three nodded, before Martin chimed in, ‘Me too!’
The term pansexual describes someone who experiences romantic, emotional or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.
It differs from bisexual, which means to be attracted to both males and females, as it also includes an attraction to transgender, non-binary, and other gender nonconforming identities.
The Head Over Feet hitmaker generally keeps her relationships out of the public eye, but she’s been romantically involved with multiple high-profile men over the years.
Morissette has also been extremely open about previously dealing with addictions to both love and sex.
Her relationship with Full House actor Dave Coulier famously inspired her best-selling album Jagged Little Pill.
She also dated actor Dash Mihok and attorney Tom Ballanco, and is currently married to rapper Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway.

The Grammy-winning singer also dated A-lister Ryan Reynolds in 2002 and the couple were engaged for three years before calling it quits in 2007.
Reynolds then began dating Scarlett Johansson just two months later after the split, marrying the actress 18 months later before their eventual divorce in 2011. He then married Blake Lively in 2012.
In 2010, Alanis married the rapper Souleye, aka Mario Treadway, and they have two sons and a daughter aged between 15 and six.
‘There are just so many qualities in him that were slam-dunky,’ she told The Sunday Times about her husband.
‘If I would talk about something on a date, typically the person would look at me quizzically like I was strange. It was the complete opposite with Souleye. He had zero desire to clip my wings.’
Morissette also admitted that she had dealt with love addiction and sex addiction in the past, which she chalked up to being an empath.
The songstress is currently in the middle of her Los Angeles residency Butterfly with a Machete, which is a mixture of music and storytelling.
