Sia shares nude picture of herself before paparazzi sold it online

The singer beat them to the punch.

Sia has become known for being a very private person, hiding her face from audiences under wigs, masks and hats. However, her privacy was threatened recently when paparazzi obtained multiple nude pictures of the singer through the window of her residence. One of the pictures was quickly posted online by a photo agency with a message that read:

“If you make the purchase [the picture] will be unblurred and you will receive an additional 14 images.”

However, when the singer spotted the pictures she decided to take the power back and shared the picture herself on Twitter saying:

“Someone is apparently trying to sell naked photos of me to my fans. Save your money, here it is for free. “Everyday is Christmas!”

Sia's shutdown was immediately praised by fans, who began calling the move "iconic". The singer also made sure to include a nod to her upcoming album Everyday is Christmas.
