Shia LaBeouf and a 12 Year Old Dance in Controversial Video
She is no Miley Cyrus, but now Sia is generating controversy with a new music video and all she does is sing in it, and she co-directed it and she chose the actors. Well, Sia is sorry if she has offended you.
The problem for many is the 28 year old shirtless man dance fighting with a 12 year old girl. He has on nude shorts, she has on a nude leotard.
Actor Shia LaBeouf is the man, Dance Moms kid, Maddie Ziegler is the 12 year old.
Some folks say the video smacks of pedophilia, given the 16-year age difference of the two stars. Others say it's art. Whatever it is, Sia apologized with tweets.
"I anticipated some 'pedophelia!!!' Cries for this video," Sia tweeted. "All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play."
So what does it all mean?
Sia explained that Shia and Maddie represent "two warring 'sia' self states."
Okay, so Sia is composed of two mental states, a 28 year old man and a 12 year old girl, and the two are fighting for control of the physical body?
"I apologize to those who feel triggered by #ElasticHeart," Sia also tweeted. "My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody."
So did it work? Were you triggered? Was it a good trigger or a bad trigger?
Just answer the poll!
