After being heavily criticized for the film “Music”, which she directed in 2021 and which received Golden Globe nominations, singer Sia, 46, says she had suicidal thoughts and a relapse after the storm that turned her life around. The information is from Variety.
According to the publication, the artist was left with very poor mental health and had to seek medical help at a rehabilitation center.
At the time, the singer and director was judged for having given an uninteresting representation of autism in her feature. Several newspapers also endorsed the criticism and social networks were relentless with her.
Sia commented on the cancellation in February 2021 on social media and subsequently deactivated her Twitter.
“I was suicidal and had a relapse,” she told the New York Times. According to Sia, who helped her to recover was Kathy Griffin, star of the sitcom ‘Suddenly Susan’. “She saved my life,” he amended.
In another New York Times report, in 2014, she had already spoken about her struggle with addiction to alcohol and painkillers and revealed that the first suicidal thoughts started in mid-2010.
The feature “Music” shows the story of Music (Maddie Ziegler), an autistic teenager who loses her family and needs to be taken care of by her half-sister Zu (Kate Hudson), a young woman who is a former chemical dependent and who has difficulties in your creation. Both find in music a point of balance to deal with difficulties.
The casting of Maddie to play the autistic protagonist was heavily criticized for the fact that she does not have autism, which angered many entities.
