Pop sensation Sia recently spoke about the time when she stopped the American dancer, actor and model Maddie Ziegler from boarding a flight with the now-convicted sex-offender movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein. The Cheap Thrills singer appeared on the Zach Sang Show and explained how she always felt an 'extreme compulsion' of protecting Maddie ever since she started working with her on the music video of Chandelier at the age of 11. She revealed how her maternal instinct made her step in when Harvey invited Maddie to join him aboard.

Sia talks Maddie Ziegler

During her interview, she recalled the time when the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein invited Maddie on his plane. But, a worried Sia made sure to not let her board the flight by begging her mother Melissa to not let her get on the airplane. Later, she stated that she promised Maddie that she would pull her out of the spotlight if she ever felt like not doing it and stop being famous.

A nostalgic Sia shared that as soon as she met the dancer when she was just 11, she felt an extreme desire to protect her and she feels like it was a part of her own healing. She added saying that the irony is that she did not want to be famous but she threw Maddie into the spotlight when she was a child. 

Elaborating more about the same, The Greatest hitmaker said that she would tell her that she wanted to be famous and in her reply Sia would tell her that it can stop anytime if she wanted it to stop. The singer also assured her that she can make it stop and 11-year-old can go back to being a normal person. However, the dancer-actor told her that she does not have a problem with the limelight as loves performing, dancing and acting way too much.
