The real abuse in this story is from Maddie’s parents who voluntarily let their daughter get into any of these situations. Dance Moms is just filmed abuse of minors perpetrated by the teacher and the parents who knowingly bring their kids to be abused.

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

Her mom was a wimp on DM's and I was watching an old episode when the lady who was also a dance teacher and new cast member, had went to dinner with Maddie's mom and she told that lady about all the other dance moms private business but of course left out her own messy situation at that time?

Sia is a very kind person. It may seem like she is obsessive, but she is trying to protect Maddie from what happened to her on Dance Moms.

Also, every time Maddie is talking about Sia, she always says super positive and kind things.

[@rmackay723]

Sia had nothing but the best in mind for her, and it was all with her and her parents approval, even the contreversial video. It's art people and it tells a story. Sia did find a way to express herself after writing hit songs for other artists for years and to bring what she wanted to the stage.

As someone on the spectrum who grew up on stage and as a skater (Im Also a singer songwriter and mum of 4 with 2 on the spectrum) I have to say this comment of someone on the spectrum playing the part is not impossible but near dam it, because remembering lines and confidence is a huge issue and routine of dance why as a skater I had 2 routines for comps for years. I even struggle to learn my own songs even tho I wrote them!! I think she should not have to apologize for that. People without health issues play parts all the time, like forest gump, rain man and even the guy who played Stephen hawking.

Daryl Hannah has had a great film career and has been working consistently since 1981 and is still working. Just because someone is autistic doesn't mean that they can't do it. Sia wrote the part for Maddie, it didn't occur to her to look for someone autistic, the same way as Sia thought that the appropriate research for Maddie to play the part was to watch 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' and KZbin channels that show autistic children having meltdowns. She didn't feel it was necessary for Maddie to actually talk to any autistic people so that she would understand why autistic people do the things that they do and what leads up to meltdowns.

Sia is an artist, and I can understand why she was so impressed with Maddie's talent. It's all for art. The connection between them was about art. I think Sia was (or is) a Maddie's fan, and I find it beautiful. Yes, children can have grown-up fans, or vice versa, and there's nothing wrong about it.

[@marcsibony9253]

When any adult takes such obsessive interest in an unrelated child and has such close unsupervised access to that child, it is disturbing. The fact that it's in the heart of the music/ entertainment industry where there is such a mix of power, money and opportunity just adds further alarm bells. Celebrities are often trusted because we think we somehow know them and they are often loved and adored. But they are just people. Just as messed up as anyone else...maybe more so.

[@blaquemoonmajesty33]

She saved her. She needs her. 24 hour security. Can’t do anything without her…

[@OGitGirlJess]

Maddie needed a strong female role model who was willing to take her in & care for her. And; guess what? Sia did it! And, not only did Sia step up and do it, she did it with grace, dignity, and love. She even brought Maddie’s career to new places and saved her from a life that would have scarred her (even more than it already had) with severe PTSD, anxiety, and severe depression. So oh yea, let’s all attack Sia! SMH. There is real abuse of little girls going on all around you, no matter where you are! You should join your nearest non-profit that fights trafficking and/or child abuse and let Maddie & Sia shine like the diamonds they are!!!!! 🦄🦄💋💋💎💎💚💚☮️☮️

Dance Mom was hard to watch. It was disturbing and abusive for those young impressionable young girls. It reminded me of some adults around me growing up who were narcissistic and abusive. We can only learn from this earth plane we all live in. Good for Maddie who’s slowly evolving into being her truest self by letting go of the need to please others. ❤

Interesting that Sia made no attempt to "save" any of the less talented, prominent dancers at the studio, only the one she could profit off of.

[@amandamandamands]

@@iright36 Nah that interview was on an Australian show 'The Project', the full clip is that Sia says that Maddie is her muse and she can't/doesn't want to create art if it doesn't contain Maddie. She also said that she felt protective of Maddie and wanted to keep her safe and the best way that she could think of to do that is to keep creating projects for Maddie. Sounds great on the surface, but where in there is Maddie's wants and needs. To me it sounds like Sia is extremely attached to Maddie and was doing things to make sure Maddie had a reason to stay around.

[@jodiehaleybirchler]

It actually cracks me up how they have nothing legible against sia... they all just make up fish hooks about her, with artificial tackle, all flash and no substance.

She was abused all right, but the source is her mom who was so desperate to be on tv that she stood by and watched the abuse take place.

[@samanthagaboo5610]

Shame on you for making a click bait title. The young lady in the clip seem to not have anything negative to say about Sia. I'm not really a fan of either. At the time the video came out I mean of course it was controversial. But I think that's also what sells music and makes things popular. I don't think Sia has anything malicious or heinous regarding the dancer. It sounds more like an aunt and niece very close relationship.

[@PatriciaLLogan]

I blame everyone who controlled the original Dance Moms Girls, including Sia. I liked "Chandler" but hated the one that Maddie danced with Shia LaBeouf, or whatever his last name is. Why would any mother like Melissa put her child in that position? Because she was greedy. She claims that she was doing it for Maddie and Makenzie, but no. I also blame Abby for being the mean tyrant she was, and still is. She wants to reboot the show with the same producers who started this whole shit (pardon my language) in the first place. It is one of the reasons why Makenzie refuses to dance. Same with Brooke and Paige. I have seen all of their stories on YT. I do not blame them. Abby has ruined it for all of them, as well as the producers of that monster of a reality show. I hope one day that these girls have the audacity to sue them, and yes, I have seen all seven seasons, but refused to see the eighth, and hope they never have a ninth. I do not like the way this industry takes advantage of children. They work long hours, and all of these "monsters", including these parents, think about is money. Let a child be a child. If they make a mistake, correct them in the right way, not by yelling, but by showing them they care. This is one of the reasons child entertainers become drug addicts, stressed out, alcoholics, afraid of their own shadows, or in therapy. Any time someone like Sia is obsessed with your child, run away, and take your child with you. If you are a parent and decide to put your child into show business, do it for the child, have a very good lawyer, in fact, 2-3 lawyers, a child advocate in case you lose all your senses when you see how much your child will be making, have one working parent in a normal job if you are two-parent family, so that you can have backup money when the child decides to quit, and never make the child the bread winner of the family. And most important, let then be children and have fun and love them unconditionally.

Their "friendship" or however u would call a relationship between a 40 yr old and a 14yr back then was extremely weird. The poor girl even lived with her. Where on earth were her parents?! It's just not normal.

[@WayneRiesterer]

Sometimes people can become over-protective for their own personal reasons. It's not necessarily something sinister. Even the best of intentions can go too far sometimes. It's sad to think that pop-culture and mainstream adoption of fleeting views that lack enough insight and depth can start slamming someone who they perhaps once admired. Sia doesn't belt out such powerful vocals loaded with intense emotion without depth of character based on raw life experiences. Why can't people recognize that? For a powerhouse of a performer to title her album 1000 Forms of Fear, perhaps people can work out for themselves how all this fits together with a bit of intelligence and empathy. Most teenagers go through a period where they oppose those close to them. It's just a natural part of growing up, out and becoming independent. If Sia has been overprotective of Maddie, then she is among many others who have done exactly the same thing regarding their own kids, or someone else they care about. If everyone's life played out on stage, would it then be such a unique thing worthy of some kind of public mauling? While some think life is all about coming up with a meme for clickbait, there's still people who actually live life and express something profound from that. I hope both Sia and Maddie get over all of this and even though their paths my go in different directions for a while or for however long, who hasn't been in that situation with someone they care about? No amount of putting someone down offers exaltation.

Sia & Matty both have addictive personalitys. Matty will always be attracted to people that are hard to please. Matty wants to live up to their high exspectations of her & by doing so she creats a lot of drama, CRYING, acting over worked, on the edge of colaping. Then she pulls it all off & she gets the praise of the narcissis she loves working for. Matty how did you get this way?

[@carbonated_salt9645]

All I'm gonna say is if Maddie says the experience was traumatic then it was, but if she is ok with the things that she agreed to do when she becomes older than it is what it is. And even if she was traumatized but still cares ab sia and loves her than that's her own business entirely. Bottom line

[@marioneno]

You people defending Sia to the death are not understanding exactly why. First, nobody is 'making anything up' as you suggested. Many people found both of those videos questionable, and as far as 'Music' is concerned, she clearly did not research enough, and also admitted Maddie being reluctant to do it - Sia also said she was crying the first day, which normally could have been anything, but Maddie was already an experienced performer. If she was 'so protective' of her, she could perform the simple task of making sure Shia's hygiene wasn't a problem during the shoot of 'Elastic Heart? The interaction was questionable enough - but with a smelly, uncouth older man? The snuggling wasn't the worst thing, but a little creepy to some people. Sia also blatantly admitted she would never work on another project without Maddie - that too, is a little concerning. Why does Maddie have to be in EVERYTHING she does? Bought her a new car? She's like her mom? 24 hour security? Why can't her mom do that? You know, Abby exploited Maddie for a long time. Sia's behavior is very questionable, not necessarily bad, or evil. You can't blame people for caring! No one is saying anything bad about Maddie. NO one really has anything to gain because they feel these adults - all of them - are behaving irresponsibly - back then, anyway - around Maddie. Let's say, that one day, Maddie does admit her relationship with Sia wasn't all she said it was, and Sia was indeed manipulative and creepy towards her and so forth. I doubt many people would celebrate the news with unrestrained glee - it be a sad day. There would be no 'winning' anything. So most people suspicious of Sia and her motives are not doing anything wrong, either. I myself was just starting to like her. 'Snowman' is one of the most powerful songs I ever heard. I don't want to hate or think badly of her at all!! That would suck! The concern is for young, underage children, especially girls(I think). There are emerging stories all the time of such alleged bad behaviors. We have to be sure, yes. If Maddie is okay with it in the end, so be it. But me, I am disgusted with everything I've heard, and seen, of not just Sia, but everything. Her MOTHER should have provided those things in the first place, not some strange adult that Maddie herself admitted she barely knew despite being a celebrity herself.
