Pop Superstar Reveals Ex-Husband Investigated for Child Porn in Custody Battle
A pop superstar has made serious allegations regarding her ex-husband amid their contentious custody battle. Sia, the renowned Australian singer, has claimed that her former spouse, Daniel Bernad, was investigated for possessing child pornography.
Investigation and Custody Dispute
According to court filings dated Tuesday, Sia stated that the investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, although inconclusive, has now been closed. Despite this outcome, she remains adamant against granting him custody of their child.
Claims from Daniel Bernad
- Bernad, a radiation oncologist, filed for sole custody of their 19-month-old son, Somersault Wonder.
- He alleged Sia poses a “serious and immediate danger” due to her past drug abuse issues.
- He has also requested $77,245 per month in child support.
In his filings, Bernad suggested that Sia is an “unfit and unreliable parent” and cited concerns regarding her previous struggles with substance abuse. He alleged that Sia was hospitalized for an allergic reaction in September, but tests reportedly showed positive results for barbiturates and benzodiazepines without a legitimate explanation.
Sia’s Response
Sia, 49, has publicly dismissed Bernad’s allegations as misleading and financially driven. In her court documents, she emphasized that Bernad’s attempts to exploit her past sobriety journey are unfounded and intended to damage her credibility in court.
Challenges and Recovery
- Sia filed for divorce in March.
- She is currently engaged in a recovery program that includes weekly testing and a sober companion.
- Sia noted that her recovery is a vital part of her life and cites Bernad’s lifestyle as problematic for their child’s environment.
As this custody battle unfolds, both parties are focusing on the implications of their pasts and their ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for their son. The court’s decisions will undoubtedly have lasting impacts on the family moving forward.
