Following the release of her music video for ?Elastic Heart,? Sia Furler has been slammed with criticism for putting a 12-year-old dancer in a cage along with a 28-year-old actor.
In a series of posts on her Twitter account, the Australian singer/songwriter explained that she specifically chose Maddie Ziegler and Shia LaBeouf because of their on-screen presence and energy. Sia wrote, ?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.?
?I apologize to those who feel triggered by Elastic Heart, my intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody,? she added.
Prior to Sia?s post, fans wrote statements like, ?People who have been the victims of molestation would naturally project their fear and view of wrongness on something that looks like this,? and, ?I am flabbergasted [Maddie?s mom] Melissa would go to the levels she is going to get her daughter famous.?
