Dave Coulier’s sister, Sharon, died from cervical cancer the same year he and Alanis Morissette started dating, so there wasn’t much time for Morissette to get to know her. However, in a 2022 appearance on “Jim Norton & Sam Roberts,” Coulier recounted how Morissette provided his sister with companionship during her final days. “Alanis was living in Toronto,” the actor said. “She actually drove to Detroit with her guitar and sat with my sister, playing songs and singing to my sister in the hospital. That’s the kind of human being she is.”
Coulier also confessed that he’s fairly certain that at least some of the lyrics in “You Oughta Know” are about him. According to the actor, when he reached out to Morissette years after their split to ask her how he should respond to media questions about whether he’s the villain of the song, she graciously told him, “You can say whatever you want.”

Now, what Coulier thinks people oughta know about Morissette is that she’s an amazing human being. While “You Oughta Know” gave Morissette a reputation for being angry, angsty, and vengeful, this was not the woman Coulier got to know. “She was always very, very sweet,” he told HuffPost Live in 2013 (via Us Weekly). “The Angry Alanis — I never met her. I never experienced that at all. She was always really funny. Really smart. And, you know, just very genuine and down-to-earth.”
