She has yet to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame herself, but Alanis Morissette was due to take part in the ceremony over the weekend - until she pulled out at the 11th hour.
The Canadian musician was due to celebrate Carly Simon's induction by singing her classic hit 'You're So Vain' as a duet with Olivia Rodrigo.
However, even after participating in the rehearsal with Rodrigo, Morissette was a no-show at Saturday's ceremony itself, leaving Rodrigo to sing the song alone.
Now, the 'Ironic' singer has explained her reasoning in a statement posted to her Instagram stories, which she says sets straight the 'misinformed rumblings' regarding her non-appearance.
Morissette said that she had no issue with Simon (who couldn't make the ceremony as both of her sisters recently passed away) or Rodrigo - or any of the other inductees or performers.
However, she did insinuate that she had been subjected to some level of misogyny or sexism on the production, although she did not go into detail on what happened.
"I have spent decades in an industry that is rife with an overarching anti-woman sentiment and have tolerated a lot of condescension and disrespectfulness, reduction, dismissiveness, contract-breaching, unsupportiveness, exploitation and psychological violence (and more) throughout my career," she wrote.
She continued: "I tolerated it because nothing would stop me from connecting with those whom I cared about and resonated with. I live to serve and connect with people and so over the years I sucked it up on more occasions than I can count in order to do so. It’s hard not to be affected in any industry around the world, but Hollywood has been notorious for its disrespect of the feminine in all of us."
She concluded the statement by saying that she was glad that she is “at a point in my life where there is no need for me to spend time in an environment that reduces women.”
"I have had countless incredible experiences with production teams with all genders throughout my life," she added. "So many, and so fun. There is nothing better than a team of diverse people coming together with one mission. I’ll continue to show up in those environments with bells on."
