Alanis Morissette has discussed her sexuality for years. In 2008, she described her experiences with women as a 'self-defining thing,' rejecting the suggestion that they were simply a phase. The remark resurfaced after she identified as pansexual on the Handsome podcast on 3 November 2026.
The earlier exchange took place on The Howard Stern Show. Stern questioned Morissette about what he called her 'lesbian phase.' She challenged that description, while saying she considered herself 'pretty heterosexual' at the time.
