Sia Apologies for ‘Elastic Heart’ “Pedophile” Video Trigger with ‘Transformers Shia Labeouf & ‘Dance Moms’ Maddie Ziegler

The new music video for Sia’s "Elastic Heart" has caused quite the stir.

Now Sia has apologized for to anyone offended or emotionally harmed by the video.

Sia clarified the “Elastic Heart” video via twitter, writing:

“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.”
