Eric Lang

In June 2014, Sia made a surprising announcement that she’s engaged to Erik. Just two months later, in August, they tied the knot in Palm Springs, California.

As cited from an official document, she filed ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the divorce.

In December 2020, Sia stated shockingly that around 2015, she was involved in an “adulterous relationship” with Shia LaBeouf.

Controversies

Accused of Showing Pedophilic Undertone in Elastic Heart Music Video

The first controversy of her career happened due to Elastic Heart music video.

It features Madie Ziegler and Shia LeBoguf performing joint dancing in nude-toned outfits. A lot of viewers commented about how it looked like pedophilia.

Sia responded to the accusation by tweeting that she has anticipated “‘pedophilia!!!’ cries” and apologized to “those who feel triggered”

She also mentioned that her intention was to “create some emotional content, not to upset anybody.”

Dubious Portrayal of Autism in Her Directorial Debut

In November 2020, Sia released a trailer for Music (2021). Shortly after, she faced many criticisms for the project for various reasons.

The primary and arguably the most complex part of the controversy is the fact that the movie casted Maddie Ziegler, who’s not autistic, to play a nonverbal autistic character. This came off as wrong for some people.

The situation became more heated as she gave responds to the critism. She shot curses to people and insulted autistic actor directly for speaking about his critic for the film.

Quotes

“I don’t care what people think of me, unless they think I’m mean or something, but I don’t care if they think I’m like someone else because I know I’m not – I’m a total weirdo. I’m not selling a dream; I’m not selling fame like it is some sort of fantastic thing. I’m just trying to sell music and get on with my real life.”

“We all need to stand together and be a part of creating the future we hope to see.”

“The truth is that you shouldn’t match your insides to other people’s outsides. Life is an inside job, and we just have to do our best.”

“There’s this image of us on the red carpet, being really fancy, and then there’s the reality.”

“When you’re entertaining all day long and that’s your work, you end up really very tired. You don’t have a lot of energy left over for your loved ones.”
