Alanis Morissette Slams Ben Affleck’s ‘Sexuality’ Comments, Shares Video of Him Exploding

Alanis Morissette blasted her “Dogma” co-star Ben Affleck in front of a stadium full of spectators in Los Angeles.

The singer gave the actor’s name during her “Butterfly with a Machete: A Rock Traumedy” residency while listing people’s past complaints about him, as captured in a fan video.

“I even had a guy ask me why I wasn’t a leader when it came to sexuality,” the Grammy winner, 54, said. “Thank you, Ben Affleck.”

She then played a violent clip from her 1999 film with the Oscar winner, showing her character Bartleby’s head exploding.

Morissette played God in the Kevin Smith-directed film — which also starred Matt Damon, Salma Hayek and more — and social media users referenced the role while reacting to footage from the concert.

“God has no sexuality, Ben,” one joked, while another added: “Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more, she’s going to blow Ben Affleck’s head off.”

Others, meanwhile, criticized Morissette’s choice to go public with a decades-old comment while Affleck last year praised her and the rest of the film’s “cool cast” during an interview with the Associated Press.

Affleck’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Morissette, who is also going viral for falling on stage during the YouTube Theater performance, recently clarified her sexuality on the “Handsome” podcast.

His character, in particular, was the cause of Affleck’s head exploding.

When Fortune Feimster asked Morissette on the Nov. 3 episode if the “men who hurt her” made her “want to be a lesbian at some point,” the songwriter responded, “I’m pansexual, so yeah.”

Feimster’s co-host Tig Notaro jumped in to ask if Morissette was “truly pansexual” — meaning someone who experiences sexual, romantic or emotional attraction toward people regardless of their gender identity or sex — to which the “Jagged Little Pill” hitmaker confirmed, “I am.”

Two months prior, Morissette gushed to “Call Her Daddy” listeners about her “incredible” kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker on “Sex and the City.”

She has been married to her husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway since 2010.

The couple, together since 2009, share three children: Ever, 15, Onyx, 10, and Winter, 7.

Before her marriage, Morissette was romantically involved with “Full House” alumnus Dave Coulier and “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds.
