Sia released her trash movie Music to furious uproar from autistic people, myself included, and now, the Australian pop star is addressing the most important controversy of the film. No, she is not addressing the absolutely dreadful portrayal wherein she neglected to cast an autistic actress in favor of Maddie Ziegler, who gave a performance equivalent to autistic minstrelsy, as autistic writer Matthew Rozsa said, that made me recoil not only in anger but also in embarrassment for Ziegler.
Nor did she attempt to make amends for her outright Trump-ian tweets where she told one autistic person “maybe you’re just a bad actor,” or the fact she portrayed an incredibly harmful method of restraint that kills autistic people. No, rather, after initially saying she had “listened to the wrong people and that is my responsibility,” Sia and her good friend, self-proclaimed D-list celebrity with an F-list sense of humor Kathy Griffin, are here to address how Sia’s poor precious feelings were hurt by autistic people and how they sent her into a depressive spell.
Sia told The New York Times in a profile of Griffin that the uproar by disability rights and autistic activists caused her to go to rehab. “I was suicidal and relapsed and went to rehab,” Sia told the Times.
As an autistic person who has dealt with depression, addiction and relapse, my heart certainly goes out to Sia and any threats to her are unjustified. But nowhere has Sia detailed an attempt to correct the egregious errors that plagued not just Music, but her promotion of the film.
