Alanis Morissette took a blistering shot at her “Dogma” costar Ben Affleck during her “Butterfly with a Machete: A Rock Traumedy” residency in Los Angeles. She delivered the remark before a stadium full of concertgoers, according to footage captured by a fan, as reported by Page Six.

The Grammy winner was listing complaints that people have made about her over the years when she brought up Affleck by name. Morissette, 54, told the audience, “I’ve even had a guy ask me why I didn’t lead with my sexuality.”

She then made the target of her story unmistakable. “Thank you, Ben Affleck,” Morissette said, turning the old comment into a public jab at her former costar.

The moment did not end with the pointed acknowledgment. Morissette followed it by playing a violent clip from their 1999 movie “Dogma,” in which Affleck’s character, Bartleby, has his head explode.

Morissette portrayed God in the Kevin Smith-directed film. The movie also featured Matt Damon and Salma Hayek, along with Affleck and Morissette.

Social media users quickly connected the concert moment to Morissette’s divine role in the movie. One person joked, “God doesn’t have sexuality, Ben,” while another celebrated the clip and Morissette’s decision to use it.

“Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more, she goes and explodes Ben Affleck’s head,” the second person wrote. The comment reflected the enthusiastic reaction from viewers who enjoyed the singer’s dramatic swipe.

Other people were less impressed with Morissette’s decision to make the old remark public. Critics slammed her for sharing a comment from decades ago, particularly after Affleck had recently spoken warmly about the movie’s cast.

During an Associated Press interview last year, Affleck praised Morissette and the rest of the film’s “cool cast.” His representative did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment about Morissette’s remarks.

The “Dogma” clip is not the only moment from the residency attracting attention online. Morissette is also going viral for falling onstage during the performance at the YouTube Theater.

Her sexuality has also recently become a public topic following an appearance on the “Handsome” podcast. During the Nov. 3 episode, Fortune Feimster asked whether the “men that hurt” Morissette ever made her “want to be a lesbian at any point.”

Morissette answered the question directly, saying, “I’m pansexual, so, yeah.” Feimster’s cohost Tig Notaro then asked whether the songwriter is “really pansexual,” and Morissette confirmed, “I am.”

Pansexuality refers to experiencing sexual, romantic or emotional attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or sex. The exchange gave Morissette an opportunity to clarify her sexuality in her own words.

Two months before that podcast appearance, the “Jagged Little Pill” hitmaker spoke to “Call Her Daddy” listeners about kissing Sarah Jessica Parker on “Sex and the City.” Morissette described the smooch as “amazing.”

Morissette has been married to Mario “Souleye” Treadway since 2010, and the pair have been together since 2009. They share three children, Ever, 15, Onyx, 10, and Winter, 7.

Before her marriage to Treadway, Morissette was romantically linked to “Full House” alum Dave Coulier and “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds. Her public comments about Affleck, however, centered on the sexuality remark she attributed to him and the explosive “Dogma” footage that followed.
