Overview
- Morissette confirmed the label near the end of a Handsome podcast episode, answering a host's question with a concise "I am pansexual," a disclosure reported Saturday and Sunday by multiple outlets.
- The conversation took place with hosts Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin and was prompted by a question about whether painful experiences with men had ever made her want to be lesbian.
- Hosts reacted with surprise and light banter after her reply, and Morissette treated the moment casually while the episode closed.
- Coverage emphasized that pansexuality means attraction to people regardless of their gender or gender identity to help explain the term for readers.
- Reporters placed the disclosure alongside Morissette's personal biography — her marriage to musician Mario 'Souleye' Treadway since 2010 and their three children — and noted prior public moments such as a recalled 2000 on-screen kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker.
