Alanis Moressette was scheduled to perform a duet with Olivia Rodrigo at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony this weekend.

The duo reportedly rehearsed on Friday, but Moressette opted out of the Saturday night performance. They were supposed to do 2022 inductee Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” together.

Morissette indicated via a lengthy statement on her Instagram page Monday that it had nothing to do with Rodrigo or Simon or any of the other female inductees.

She went on to list a number of problematic behaviors in an “industry that is rife with an overarching anti-woman sentiment” including “condescension and disrespectfulness, reduction, dismissiveness, contract-breaching, unsupportiveness, exploitation and psychological violence (and more).” While not pointing a finger at anyone associated with the show and praising “all the amazing people and artists who were there,” Moressette wrote, “I am at a point in my life where there is no need for me to spend time in an environment that reduces women.” The closest she got to directly naming the reason for her decision may have been the observation that “Hollywood has been notorious for its disrespect of the feminine in all of us.” The ceremony was filmed at L.A.’s Microsoft Theatre and will be broadcast on HBO later this month.
