Ew. She also was encouraged to make this movie bc WHO encouraged her to????

Lena fcking Dunham.

The worst EDS 'face' we have, overall genuine horrid human, and who hurts everything she touches - including her sister.

There is no bottom.

(Cite: Zach Sang interview)

Okay fck this
Maddie was deeply upset about this from go. Didn't want anyone to think she was making fun of them or doing something wrong. Cried to 2 adults, who told her they'd NEVER let that happen bc they knew it was okay.

She tried to tell you.

But you "made this for her".

So, you write a movie for her, as her mother since she was 11 (her words), have PROMISED to protect her...

And when she expresses concern, says it doesn't feel right, you ignore it and convince her it's amazing and good. She can't say no. Manipulated the girl to repeat garbage.

Welp, case closed.

Not that we needed any more evidence, but Sia 100% only ever wrote and cast this role for Maddie.

I highly doubt any autistic girl was ever brought in at all -- except maaaaybe once Maddie broke down on set bc it felt wrong. Which, Sia knew was wrong, too.

So, not only did she write an ableist script overall, repeatedly use ableist language discussing it/us, attack and swear at #ActuallyAutistic folks, work with a hate org, annnnnd lie about 6 different times yesterday...

But she manipulated, neglected and hurt Maddie, too.

She wrote this script 5 yrs ago, when Maddie was newly 13. Maddie knew it was in the works since then. And as she grew up and learnt this could hurt people, sharing her heart was ignored and brainwashed away.

And she can't say no or truly feel safe to leave now. Not after 5yrs.

All M's thoughts on disability, inspiration p-rn, caregivers, autism, developmental disabilities, parents' exploitation of their kids, etc was informed by Sia, for yrs, beginning at 13.

And as Sia always does, Maddie was used as a mouthpiece to regurgitate these ideas to media.

She can't defend herself against her literal godmother as she gets so much backlash from very hurt #ActuallyAutistic folks. For something she knew in her gut wasnt right. Where's Sia?

Not protecting her. She's fighting, shaming & insulting disabled folks; a firehouse of ableism.

And now I'm sure Maddie - the more favourable of them - will be expected to make a statement supporting Sia, reimpress her good intentions, say how beautiful it is & encourage people to see it before judging.

It's predictable. And Maddie's hands are tied. Bc toxic relationships.
