Sia Responds to Pedophilia Cries Over 'Elastic Heart' Video
Sia is responding to critics who are calling her “Elastic Heart” video pedophilia as it features a grown man dancing with a young child.
The video stars Shia LaBeouf completely shirtless with just flesh-colored underwear while he dances with Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, who is wearing a similar flesh-colored leotard.
“I anticipated some ‘pedophelia!!!’ Cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play these two warring ‘sia‘ self states,” the singer tweeted. “I apologize to those who feel triggered by #ElasticHeart My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody. 🙏.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Sia’s video for “Elastic Heart”?
