LOS ANGELES: Alanis Morissette,  a Canadian-American musician, has said that experiencing sexism led her to withdraw from a performance at the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" ceremony.

As part of a homage to inductee Carly Simon, the singer was scheduled to sing a duet of the legendary smash "You're So Vain" with Olivia Rodrigo, but she withdrew after encountering severe sexism,  Variety reported.

Before leaving, Morissette did take part in the rehearsals. Morissette made it unclear in a post on her Instagram Live account what specifically went wrong during those rehearsals to cause her to leave the event at the last minute, despite the fact that she was featured on all internal schedules for the huge show up until Saturday night's recording.
Morissette reportedly stated unequivocally that whatever she experienced while she was still on-site sparked sentiments about "an overall anti-woman mindset" in the business. She also appeared to lay the blame squarely at the feet of the telecast's production crew, claiming that whatever she encountered there was in stark contrast to "countless amazing experiences with production teams of all genders throughout my life." However, there are conflicting behind-the-scenes versions of just what went wrong during the rehearsal. Several sources assert that Morissette "struggled with the song" during a run-through, which is what caused the disagreement and eventual exit.

Morissette-related sources refute the assertion, claiming that she and Rodrigo were in the typical early phases of collaborating on the song with the house band.

Variety claims that Morissette released the following statement via her Instagram account: "I didn't perform at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this past weekend, and there have been some unfounded rumours about it. I must start by expressing my love for Carly Simon, Olivia Rodrigo, Dolly Parton, Janet Jackson, Pat Benatar, Sheryl Crow, Pink, Brandi Carlile, and Sara Bareilles, as well as all the amazing attendees and performers "The majority of the female artists who were recognised or gave performances on the show were mentioned in her writing.

Morissette continued, "I have tolerated a lot of condescension and disrespectfulness, reduction, dismissiveness, contract-breaching, unsupportiveness, exploitation and psychological violence (and more) throughout my career. I have spent decades in an industry that is rife with an overarching anti-woman sentiment. She added the following: "I put up with it because I wouldn't let anything get in the way of connecting with the people I care about and identify with. I have endured more times than I can recall in order to serve and connect with people, which is what I live for. In any sector around the world, it's difficult to avoid being impacted, but Hollywood is infamous for its disregard for the feminine in all of us." She declared: "Fortunately, I have reached a stage in my life where I am no longer required to spend time in a setting that devalues women. Throughout my life, I have worked on production teams with people of all genders, and I have had innumerable amazing encounters. Numerous and enjoyable. There is nothing better than a group of various individuals working together toward a same goal. I'll keep showing up in those settings with bells on."
