Netizens criticise Sia's tweet
Fans have had a negative reaction to Sia's tweet. Some netizens mentioned how Sia must first apologise to Paris for showing support for - "thoroughly debunked hype train regarding the fake "documentary" made by two men attempting to extort her father's estate for hundreds of millions of dollars." Sia had earlier tweeted out in support of the two men who claimed they were sexually abused by Paris' father Michael Jackson. It was later found that the allegations were not true as the Jackson estate had asked them to testify in court. All these events took place after Leaving Neverland, an HBO show, was released. The details of this case are still heavily debated. Many Twitter users criticised Sia's tweet heavily. Check out the tweets:
I think if you love her, you owe her an apology for jumping on the totally and thoroughly debunked hype train regarding the fake "documentary" made by two men attempting to extort her father's estate for hundreds of millions of dollars.

She supported the two frauds who accused Paris's dad of horrific abuse while suing his estate, trying to steal millions from Paris and her brothers, who are the beneficiaries of the estate. Sia didn't fact check anything in what those frauds said

The nerve on you celebrities is awful!! Maybe start by saying sorry to Paris for tweeting your support of two frauds to your huge platform last year Sia.

Paris is beautiful and kind. She's grown into a wonderful young woman because of how her dad raised her.

Knowing and having seen your background of slandering her dad implies a lot when you say you believe she is a good person.

Michael and his kids are all good people, much better than you present yourself on this platform.
Do research maybe we will believe you. #WatchSquareOne
