Sia Divorce Explodes: Husband Accuses Pop Star of Drug Relapse in Brutal Custody War Over Toddler
Sia’s quiet split just detonated into a custody nightmare. Daniel Bernad, the singer’s estranged hubby, slammed her with addiction relapse claims in explosive court docs—alleging a secret 2-week hospitalization where she tested positive for barbiturates and benzodiazepines with “no valid medical explanation.”
“Sia is an unfit and unreliable parent struggling with substance abuse… a serious and immediate danger” to their 19-month-old son, Somersault Wonder Bernard, Bernad’s filing blasts. The ex-oncologist demands sole legal/physical custody and random drug testing for the Chandelier hitmaker—who’s been open about 15 years sober after battles with painkillers, alcohol. “I’m the only safe parent,” he insists.
Sia fires back HARD: Bernad’s restricted to monitored visits after LAPD probe into child pornography (CSAM)—“inconclusive but closed,” she claims. “He’s weaponizing my past for financial gain,” her declaration rages, accusing him of dodging regular drug tests himself.
