The documentary, Jagged, is screening at the Toronto film festival this week. The Washington Post has reported that Morissette describes the attacks during the film. “It took me years in therapy to even admit there had been any kind of victimisation on my part,”
Speaking in a new documentary, Alanis Morissette has said she was the victim of multiple statutory rapes as a teenager.

“We expect there are more nests out there and, like this one, we hope to find them before they can produce new queens. Your report may be the one that leads us to a nest.”
The portion of the tree that contained the nest was cut and transported to Washington State University Extension in Bellingham for further analysis. In total, the nest contained nearly 1,500 hornets in various stages of development, authorities said.
That nest was found in the base of a dead alder tree in rural Whatcom county, roughly two miles from a nest eradicated last October and about a quarter of a mile from where a resident reported a live sighting on 11 August this year.
Last year, Chris Looney, a Washington state entomologist tasked with vacuuming up the hornets, told the Guardian they were “pretty intimidating, even for an inch-and-a-half insect … they give me the willies.”
They can also harm humans, even causing fatalities. One entomologist has described the feeling of being stung by a murder hornet as like “having hot tacks pushed into my flesh”. They can also eject venom.
Left unchecked, the hornets can destroy a honeybee hive in hours, feeding on larvae and decapitating bees in what scientists call a “slaughter phase”. The hornets then feed severed body parts to their own young.
Asian giant hornets are an invasive species also known as murder hornets because they prey on smaller insects. Their nests are difficult to locate, as they tend to be in forested areas. In the US, they pose a particular threat to native hornet species and to honeybees.
The Washington state agriculture department tweeted on Saturday that it planned to eradicate the nest and would have more updates soon

The senators, including Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Chris Coons of Delaware, said a letter they received from the FBI director, Chris Wray, last month shows the FBI gathered more than 4,500 tips relating to Kavanaugh without any apparent further action by investigators.
A group of US Democratic senators on Thursday said that newly released materials show the FBI failed to fully investigate sexual misconduct allegations against the US supreme court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when he was nominated to the court in 2018.
