Singer Alanis Morissette says she was horrified by the abusive wheelchair handlers she encountered at airports when a sore heel forced her off her feet for two months.

“I have a memory in Italy where this one gentleman… was pushing me really quickly towards this post and he was on his cellphone, so I screamed at him,” Morissette told ShowBizSpy.com.

“And then this other woman in another country was pushing me into the elevator, just ramming me in and I just had this huge empathy with elderly people and all these people who are pushed in wheelchairs at airports - it’s not what you think, they’re being abused.”
