When Sia released Chandelier with Maddie Ziegler in the clip, the song quickly became everyone’s favorite and from that project, Ziegler has accompanied almost every Sia performance and song. The singer has even openly stated that she no longer wants to do projects without Ziegler.
After some recent details that were published about the relationship between the two, people on the internet have called the relationship "problematic" and some accuse Sia of * grooming.
Grooming * - refers to building an emotional relationship with a child or young person, to manipulate, exploit and abuse him / her ", according to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
What was learned about the duo?
In an episode of Fierce, Sirius XM: omen in Music, Sia admitted that the first day she met the ballerina, she felt the immediate connection and experienced a mother's love with her first child. She said she did not think she could love anyone so much until she met Ziegler and that she was grateful that her mother, Melissa Gisoni, "shared" Maddie with her.
Sia also admitted that she cares a lot about Ziegler and tries to protect him. The singer admitted that she also pays security guards for the ballerina.
"Unë i ofroj ata siguri 24-orëshe, sepse ndihem përgjegjëse për famën e saj pasuese."
Ndër të tjera, Sia tha se ndonjëherë flet në emër të Maddie-t sepse ajo arrin ta kuptojë atë vetëm me sy. Disa fansa menduan se kjo ishte thjesht një lloj mbrojtjeje ndaj Maddie-t, por të tjerë e cilësuan si sjellje kontrolluese, duke marrë parasysh se ajo është 18 vjeç.
Këngëtarja duket se ka një farë kontrolli edhe në karrierën e Ziegler. Sia është shprehur se ajo ka vendosur që një mënyrë e mirë për ta mbajtur të sigurt balerinën është "që ajo të vazhdojë të jetë në projekte me të, kështu janë duke punuar gjithnjë së bashku". Ajo madje pranon se ka ndërhyrë edhe në projekte të tjera të Ziegler, duke i sugjeruar mamasë së saj që të mos pranojë të jetë pjesë e tyre.
It is clear that the 45-year-old has an undeniable impact on the life of the 18-year-old, an impact which to many people is seeming somewhat dubious and strange.
Some people think that even the fact that Sia only follows Maddie on Instagram is not very normal and others recall Sia's irresponsible gift to Maddie when she was 16 years old and then still did not have a patent.
