Alanis Morissette distances herself from 'salacious' new film

The singer said she agreed to take part in a HBO film celebrating 25 years of her classic album Jagged Little Pill.

However, the film, which also addresses the alleged exploitation, "is not the story I agreed to tell," she added.

The director of Jagged has not yet responded to the singer's comments.

In her statement, Morissette noted she had been dealing with post-natal depression at the time.
